OPTIONORDER.GetExchangeCount() returns no exchanges

Hi, ORDER.GetExchangeCount() returns a full count of destinations for me but OPTIONORDER.GetExchangeCount() does not. NOTE: I can see the destinations for options orders in the UI. The actual return value of these functions is Empty for ORDER and False for OPTIONORDER. Permissions issue? Thanks

Hi @DDALY ,

Have you checked out the sample code in this sheet? Here, you're setting the order object with the symbol, type, date, etc for the option order, then retrieving the values.

Here, I return a value of 201 (on my test ID).

Hi @brian.mullane, Ok so the order object needed more details. That's working for me now. Thanks a lot!

Hi @brian.mullane, I'm having a problem with data for one of our production users. The destination he uses on the UI is "IBCO DMA" as per screenshot.

However if I try to get destinations in code (below) using the same order details, I only get "IBO2 DMA". Any ideas?


Sub GetOptionDest()

    Dim hOrder As New OPTIONORDER
    Dim RetVal, I, cnt, exch
    
    hOrder.Symbol = "VICI"
    hOrder.Type = "Put"
    hOrder.Date = "Jan '23"
    hOrder.Strike = 30
    
    RetVal = hOrder.GetExchangeCount(cnt)
    For I = 0 To cnt - 1
        exch = hOrder.GetExchangeAt(I)
        Cells(I + 2, 5).Value = exch
    Next I
    
End Sub

Hello @DDALY ,

I would try to populate as in example

 hOrder.Symbol = "SPX"
 hOrder.Type = "Call"
 hOrder.Date = "Dec '21"
 hOrder.Strike = "3800"
 hOrder.OptionSymbol = "SPX"

let us know if this makes a difference?

Hi @zoya faberov, No unfortunately that didn't help. Also I get the same problem listing the destination for equity orders. If I set up the basic order details in the ORDER object and retrieve the exchanges I can't see "IBCO DMA" which is what the user selects for equity orders via the UI. Please let me know if you have any other ideas, otherwise I might just set up the desired destinations in the application config. Thanks!

[Also I saw you comment - NOTED - in future I'll create a new question]

Hi @DDALY ,

I think I understand what is going on. At first I thought the user was not able to populate the destinations correctly, so I have approached from that assumption.

Please refer to REDI Destination Name Mappings doc.

See below:

"IBCO DMA" is "IBO2 DMA", per programmatic interface.

Hi @zoya faberov, Yes this makes sense now. I confirmed that an order entered with "IBO2 DMA" via the API shows up on the UI as "IBCO DMA" so we're all set. Thanks so much!
