Author	Topic: tick data historical request - dataPointsPerSend? (3 messages, Page 1 of 1)
traps -Interested User- Posts: 15 Joined: May 24, 2011	Posted: Jun 16, 2011 06:44 AM Msg. 1 of 3 Hi When using the historical lookup COM method ReqHistoryTickTimeframe, I am wondering how one is supposed to use the dataPointsPerSend parameter. If it is set to some non-zero value, say 100, then the time-series of ticks will be split up into separate messages, each with no more thant 100 ticks in it. My question is, how do I know when all the messages/ticks have been received? My call-back will get called for each message, but is there a way to tell when all messages pertaining to this request have been received? Since I do not know the number of ticks beforehand, I do not know how many messages to expect. thanks

However, there is a bug in 4.7.2.0 which will cause a request to sometimes not complete properly in the HistoryCOM interface. This has been fixed in the 4.8 beta available on the developer site.
