Is there a re-branded version of RFA 7.0?

We've got a notification about the rebranding and new versions of API.

Currently, we use RFA 7. Is there a new version of it with Refinitiv brand, namespaces etc?

In the list of available products I can see Refinitiv Realtime SDK C++. But it looks like it's an Electron replacement.


Update: I've found rfa7.7.0.L1.win-shared.rrg. Based on REBRAND_RFACPP.txt file content, there are no changes in the interface or visible interfaces. And the changes are only in the documentation.


I can see the namespaces are still like rfa::common. I overrode existing RFA dlls (7.6.2) with new and I could compile the project without an issue. (I didn't try to run it). Is there anything required to do to use new RFA 7.7?

Hi @igorg

Please see the following summary from a previous customer session on Rebranding:

As you will note from the Application changes required column, the answer is NO for RFA C++

Hello @igorg,

Please visit the API overview page. It contains the release notes as well as a downloads tab, from where you can download the latest version of rebranded SDK.

Why SDK?

I checked that page. Please read my "Update" part of the question.

Hello @wasin.waeosri ,

I have this doc. Could you confirm there are no changes in the interfaces? So we can just replace 7.6.2 libraries with 7.7 and that's all we need to do?

Thanks

Hello @igorg

The RFA team confirms that you do not need a code change when upgrading from RFA C++ 7.6.2 to 7.7, you can just replace the libraries.

Please note that I still suggest you re-test the application before deployment to the Production environment.
