Hi @OX

1. Yes, if you’re only interested in snapshot data (no updates) you should disable updates with .interestAfterRefresh(false).
2. Waiting for a period of time is ok for an example but is not a solution for a production application. Indeed, you cannot tell in advance how long it will take to open all your RICs. Because of that there’s a risk that either you do not wait long enough (and you miss some RICs) or you wait unnecessarily too long.
3. As far as I know EMA doesn’t tell you when all the item streams of your batch request are complete. I’m afraid that you will have to preserve the status of each individual item (RICs) in order to understand if the batch request is complete or not. For every RIC that you requested in the batch EMA will open a new item stream and send either:
   - a Refresh message that contains the whole list of fields of the item
   or
   - a Status message that potentially indicates a closed stream state and contains an error message.
   Once you received either a Refresh message or a Status message for all the RICs you requested, you know that you batch request is complete.

Hi @OX

1. The ".interestAfterRefresh(false)" will let the application consumes data as a non-streaming (snapshot). The application will get only "refresh" data to the onRefreshMsg callback function and does not get any updates data.
2. You can use the "user dispatch" mode which lets the application thread controls and manages all callbacks execute. Please see an example in EMA Java's example130_MarketPrice_UserDisp application
3. The refresh data comes to application's onRefreshMsg always contains all fields data from TREP/Elektron (if the application uses View feature, it will contains all requested fields data)

Please see an example code from example130 below:

consumer  = EmaFactory.createOmmConsumer(EmaFactory.createOmmConsumerConfig()
	.operationModel(OperationModel.USER_DISPATCH)
	.host("localhost:14002").username("user"));
			
consumer.registerClient(EmaFactory.createReqMsg().serviceName("DIRECT_FEED").name("IBM.N"), appClient, 0);
			
long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
while (startTime + 60000 > System.currentTimeMillis()) //The application controls how long for dispatching incoming events here 
	consumer.dispatch(10);		// calls to onRefreshMsg(), onUpdateMsg(), or onStatusMsg() execute on this thread
