I'm connected thru the API to your api server and your production server, one on each machine. On the production server I have stopped getting ESH8 ticks. I seem to be connected, but when I send chat messages to Chi, Keith and Ross (who show online), I get no response. So I suspect I am actually disconnected.

This morning I stopped getting ESH8 ticks on the production server 3 different times, but they came back after 5-15 seconds. Now they have been stopped for a few minutes. I'll abort and try to re-login.

My question: Is there a way to know when I've lost my connection? I'm listening to the OnDisconnectedEvent, but it has never fired.

2nd question -- is the quote server the same on the api server and the prod server?

BTW, trades execute just fine even after ticks stop.

Thanks,

1. if you didn't get OnDisconnected event, then connection is still alive. Note that TCP/IP protocol tries to mainain connection and resend data if some packets are lost - so delays could be caused by internet problems.
Usually, API is checking connection with keep-alive requests and drops it if absolutely no data is received for 1 minute.

2. API and Production servers are on different machines.

I've checked DBrubaker60 but don't see any disconnections or reconnections since 01/03/07 15:30 CST in production server.

api and production quotes should have no difference by design.
