Data and Content Support » java vista x64 doesn't work Feb 17, 2009 01:35 PM (Total replies: 2)

well that IS a bummer.

Don't you think you should make an iq_jni_64.dll?

usually this requires merely a recompile.

Data and Content Support » java vista x64 doesn't work Feb 17, 2009 11:08 AM (Total replies: 2)

I am unable to use DTN from my java app on
vista x64. When it attempts to load the library iq_jni.dll
i get the message:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: C:\Program Files (x86)\DTN\IQFeed\iq_jni.dll: Can't load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit platform

Thanks for the quick reply.

In the next version , don't forget the "maxbars" parameter
in addition. There is no easy way for a client
to know how many ticks are between two dates.
Minutes are computable, but then there are complications
involving session closing times etc..
It could be 1000000 or it could be 10.
So if a client just wanted 3000 ticks, it would
be very difficult to achieve without a maxbars parameter.


Many of the historical requests require a "maxdays" parameter
giving the number of days of data to load.

If this value is 1, and it is 2008-08-23 15:00, then
does this retrieve the values:
(1) between now and 2008-08-23 00:00, or
(2) between now and 2008-08-22 15:00, or
(3) between now and 2008-08-22 00:00.

please answer and update your documentation.

I have long requested an api that lets me specify
a fromtime, a toTime, and a maxbars, with the
semantics being "give me atmost maxbars
of the most recent data >= fromtime and <= toTime".
This is useful in limiting the data requested, and
in filling in older data for a chart without requerying
the newer data.

Data and Content Support » no minute data Jan 11, 2008 07:32 AM (Total replies: 1)

I am not getting any minute history data (request timing out)
today. querying for ES, QCL among others.

I seem to be getting some daily history though.

please fix.

Data and Content Support » Data Feed Down? Dec 12, 2007 06:54 PM (Total replies: 25)

the problem appears in minute data , not tick data.

Data and Content Support » Data Feed Down? Dec 12, 2007 06:46 PM (Total replies: 25)

I've tried 4 times. same result each time.
I am using software that has run well for 4 years,
It loads @TY data correctly.

If you want to duplicate:
My login is 182760
connecting to 66.112.148.227 port 5002
iq feed verwsion 4.2.1.4
symbol is @ESH8

Data and Content Support » Data Feed Down? Dec 12, 2007 05:40 PM (Total replies: 25)

OK, that explains the QCL, but what about the missing data
for @ES?

Data and Content Support » Data Feed Down? Dec 12, 2007 05:21 PM (Total replies: 25)

I am getting some very strange results all of a sudden.
QCLF8 - no historical data after 4:42am today 12/12
a strange realtime tick 7$ below the last known price.

@ESH8 - no historical data after 11:30am today 12/12
then starts up at 15:00

Data and Content Support » problems retrieving historical data for msft Jan 25, 2006 10:24 AM (Total replies: 36)

A Workaround Seems To Have Been Found!!!!

When I replaced :

mSinSocket.connect(new InetSocketAddress(InetAddress.getLocalHost(), 9100));
which actually connects to my internet address on the local lan: "192.168.1.100"
with :

mSinSocket.connect(new InetSocketAddress("127.0.0.1", 9100));

it all magically started working consistently.

I even have a theory how this could trigger a bug in dtn's code.
In an earlier message I pointed out that most programmers wrongly
think that they will receive a full line of data when they read from a socket.
Even if the sender of the data sends a full line, there is in fact no guarantee
that this will happen. So one possibility is that connecting to
"192.168.1.100" takes a bit longer, routes through a router, etc.. which
can cause a less than full line to occasionally come through; since
the dtn app is probably not expecting this, it gets misparsed and havoc results.

Another, less likely possibility is that my router or msft's ip stack is messing up
loopback connections. But this is inconsistent with the fact that it only happens
with HX (tick data requests).

In any case, I am glad to be thru this horrific experience lasting 6 months, which I wasted
100's of hours on. It would be nice if dtn would compensate me for their
bug with several months of free service.

well that is disappointing.

it sounds to me like we need to turn on logging
of the iq app, so that we can trace the problem back.

Where do you stand in getting a version of
the iq connection manager which logs faster,
by not closing and reopening the log every time?

I have created a newer version of my application, which shows consistent
errors on my machine. Please try this newer version, which
finds more of the errors.

If anyone else has java installed and can try this on their machines, that would
also be appreciated.

(I also uninstalled my iqfeed 4.1.0.0 beta installation and re-downloaded
and re-installed, but no change was evident.)

ooops, I noticed in an earlier post that I said I had set logging registry value to
1, but in fact the error shows up only when it is set to 0, probably because of
the speed issue.

ahhhhh, I guess that contract expired....

You might change the symbols that end in G6 to end in H6 instead...

To answer your question, the 2 minutes the sample program takes
is similar to the time it takes me. Here are two sample
runs for me:

2 min 42 sec

2 min 15 sec

and errors each time

Great, I am glad that you were able to duplicate the
duplicate !ENDMSG! error.
If you look in DtnControllerSimpleLog.txt
which should be in the root directory from which you ran DtnControllerSimple.java
is. If you renable the partof the code that saves output that is received,
then you can search for ENDMSG. When you find the extraneous one,
which is evident because it is followed by more data, and not by another request,
you may also see that the line before the ENDMSG is garbled.

I don't see the relationship to the other thread that you linked
to, since these requests are returning data, and all requests
I do return some data.

I spent alot of time developing that sample app for you, so I want
to make sure that you ran it in a way that would show you the
problem.

Specifically, if you run it from a console window, or within a debugging
environment that shows you the "std output", then you would have
to scan the output looking for lines that look like:

Error: Found 47 lines that starts with ','

or

java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out

Of course, if you turned off my printouts then you would not see these errors.
My printouts are an less than trivial amount of time, so there is no benefit to
turning them off.

If you run the app 4 times and get no error lines printed out, then that would
be a sign that we have different environments, since I get errors (in different
places) 9 times out of 10.

In case it depends on the server, it looks like my current connection is to
66.112.156.221 port 60002, version 4.1.0.0
I am using logLevel 1

Also, no amount of network issues could make your program send
extraneous !ENDMSG! lines, right?

Just wondering if you were still pursuing this problem.....

If it is necessary to put delays in like this, it is usually a sign of two
problems in the dtn server, (i.e. the dll that we connect to as clients)
that dtn could fix if motivated:

(1) when you create your server, there is an option for specifying
the number of server connection attempts that are queued. I think
the default is 5. Of course, boosting this to 50 would help alot.

(2) you are supposed to do as little work as possible after an
accept() returns, and as quickly as possible create a new thread
to handle the request. This way, accept requests are handled
quickly, and fewer requests build up in the queue.

I have created a simple one file app that you can run to
see the problem. The problems have only occurred with the
HX request, and definitely seem to be triggered by large requests.

You will have to edit the file to add in my or your password and app name.
