Is there any way to get an aleart or message telling me that the server when down, wether it be the price server or quotes, or ordering, etc... ?This would be helpful in letting our clients know that there is somthing wrong.

OECClient.OnNewsMessage is called in API when an alert is broadcasted to clients.

We have a very simple handler for these events:

void __stdcall apiOEC::OnNewsMessage(BSTR Channel,BSTR Message)
{
CString str(Message);
MessageBox(NULL,str,"News Message",MB_OK);
}

We haven't seen this function called once even though today we've heard OEC Trader has had a few alerts pop up about exchange changes this weekend.

Do news messages get broadcast to demo and real server logins?

Might these alerts be going out as user messages instead of news messages?

Is there a way to get a news and a user message sent on demand to our login? How can we test that we've got these working?

Thank you,
Jacob

Last night or this morning my instance of OEC Trader logged into a real account got this message:

OEC Trader
(i) On Sunday, October 4, 2009, enhancements will be introduced for CME Equity Futures and Future spreads on CME Globex...<snip>


I had a demo login to the API overnight as well with the OnNewsMessage handler and a OnUserMessage handler. Neither were triggered.

these messages are broadcasted only on the live server (prod.openecry.com) for live accounts.
