RFA initial response

Hi, when I subscribe to a option, I can see I got the below initial response:

My current code treats this as a trade message with 0 trade price but that doesn't seem right. What's the purpose of the below message?

13:46:53.851 - [RFA dispatcher] INFO c.c.c.m.r.ItemClient Source data for trade update for GOOGm181911600: FID 1 (PROD_PERM [PERMISSION]) = 77 , type: UINT FID 2 (RDNDISPLAY [DISPLAYTEMPLATE]) = 73,

Hello @magno.yu

The initial response to a successful request will be a refresh message, this will contain the full set of fields for the instrument with the last values applied, there will be a message type in the header to indicate that this is the refresh response.

You should not treat this as market activity, think of it as an event to synchronise your application view of the data with the current state of the instrument.

To determine the message type here are the RFA C++, Java and .NET class methods and the corresponding return value for a refresh response;

RFA C++:

rfa::message::RespMsg::getRespType();

The value returned by this method for a Refresh response is 

RespMsg::RefreshEnum

RFA Java:

com.reuters.rfa.omm.OMMMsg.getMsgType();

The value returned by this method for a Refresh response is 

com.reuters.rfa.omm.OMMMsg.MsgType.REFRESH_RESP

RFA.NET property :

RespMsg.RespType

The value for a Refresh response is

RespMsg.RespTypeEnum.Refresh

The initial refresh response is marked as solicited but your application should also handle subsequent unsolicited refresh responses, these can be sent when the system is recovering from a transient failure during operation and must re-synchronise its clients with the current data values which may have changed in the period between failure and recovery.

Also, in case your application should treat them differently I suggest you also look at the different update types you can receive.

For RFA C++ these are defined in the namespace: rfa::rdm e.g. rfa::rdm::INSTRUMENT_UPDATE_CORRECTION

For RFA Java the update types are defined in: com.reuters.rfa.rdm.RDMInstrument.Update

and for RFA .NET: RDM.INSTRUMENT_UPDATE_RESPONSE_TYPES
