Hi @quotes-support

As you may be aware, you need a Provider application to publish the data read from your XML file e.g. testserver is a provider application. OR you can write your own Provider application based on the multiple Provider examples we include with RT-SDK.

The provider would normally publish to your ADH - which then distributes the services to downstream consumers via the ADS.

As an alternative to adding the additional service to your ADH, you can actually connect your consumer directly to the provider application - is that something that would work for your test scenario?

In other words, run the Interactive Provider (or testserver) on a given PC and then point the consumer to that PC. So, for example, I could run my IProvider application on my local PC and then configure the consumer to connect to localhost 14002.

Let me know if that would work for you - and if not why it would not be suitable so that I can offer any possible alternatives.

However, if you do still wish to add a Provider service to your ADH, there is a possibility of Interactive(sink driven) or Non-Interactive (source driven). Please advise which you would prefer and I could share how I have done this on my test RTC (ADS POP) - which you could also try and apply to your rmds config.
However, as I am not an RTDS expert my implementation may be flawed/not work (or worse) for your RTDS(TREP) setup - and I would not be able to offer any support for this and you would need to raise a ticket with our RTDS team.

Hi @quotes-support

So have you written a Provider application that will take your XML, convert it to OMM and publish it as a service? In order to add a service to the ADH you will need a Provider to publish the data for the service.

I ask because you talk about testserver (which is a provider application) - but if you have written an Interactive Provider - it can connect directly to the consumer.

In terms of your other questions, each service has a unique service name, so the provider publishes all its symbols under its service name - thereby allowing the same symbol name to be re-used by other services if required.

When the consumer requests a symbol, it also has to specify the service name as part of the request - therefore a consumer can in theory request the same symbol from more than one service if required.

If you have written your Provider application please confirm whether it is an Interactive or Non-Interactive Provider - so I can share the appropriate settings I used in my rmds cnf file.

Hi @quotes-support

The following article by my colleague talks about creating your own provider application

Publish Custom Data via Refinitiv Real-Time Distribution System by EMA | Refinitiv Developers

It describes how to build an Interactive Provider using EMA in Java.

An interactive Provider can be connected directly by a Consumer application so you don't even need to add to your ADH. However, if after developing and testing it - you still wish to connect it to your ADH - we can certainly try and help with that.

As you may discover when reading the above, we include several simple Interactive Provider examples with the RT-SDK - both Java and C++ versions.

You can find them in the \Ema\Examples\Training\IProvider (C++) or Ema\Examples\src\main\java\com\refinitiv\ema\examples\training\iprovider (java) folders

Most of them just generate fields with dummy data - so you would have to replace that code with some that read the data from your XML file and publish those values to the required fields instead.
