Hello,
I am trying to implement the new remoting functionality.

The situation as it stands now is that the user is first running OEC's program. Then when custom program is run the user is kicked off the account from the OEC program.

As I understand it remoting is supposed to get around this issue. I changed

OEC.API.OECClient OECClient = new OEC.API.OECClient();
to
OEC.API.OECClient OECClient = OEC.API.OECClient.CreateInstance(true);

Is there something else that I'm supposed to do as well?

Thank you,
Jonathan

Jonathan, this change should be enough to make your application is working with OECAPI hosted by OEC Trader via remoting.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.

Is there a way to check that the first application has set OECClient.RemoteHostingEnabled to true? If that wasn't set correctly that would explain the behavior, correct?

Thanks,
Jonathan

Unfortunately, OECAPI has no such method to check it. But I can advise to check "Allow Remoting" checkbox in OEC Trader: it controls OECClient.RemoteHostingEnabled there.

Hi,
I'm looking at the code in "OEC API Adv Example 2008" and searching for "RemoteHostingEnabled" to check that it's being set to true. I can't find the line in the example. Is it missing from the API example and is somewhere else instead?

Thank you,
Jonathan

Jonathan,

OEC API Adv Example doesn't show how to use Remoting.

Okay. How can I add remoting to it? Also is it possible to run the Trader App against the dev server?

Hi,
To clarify the issue a little. The code as it stands now is as follows:


objOECClient = OEC.API.OECClient.CreateInstance(True)
objOECClient.Connect(strServer, intPort, strUser, strPassword, False)

When I test it by running the Trader application and then my application the first account is booted out. I don't see a lot that could be going wrong here, but I must be missing something.

Hello,

you don't need to call objOECClient.Connect(strServer, intPort, strUser, strPassword, False), if objOECClient instance is shared with a remoting instance of another application and that instance already connected. So, it could look like

objOECClient = OEC.API.OECClient.CreateInstance(True)
if(!objOECClient.CompleteConnected)
objOECClient.Connect(strServer, intPort, strUser, strPassword, False)

Hi,
It doesn't kick me off as long as I sign on two programs on the same computer. With different computers it kicks me out. Is that supposed to be the case?

Also though I'm signed in I'm not getting the OnTicks event fired. Any ideas on why that would happen? Do I need to flag it differently?

Hello,

OECAPI Remoting is working only in the case if both client applications are on the same computer.

About OnTicks: could you please make sure that both applications are using absolutely the same versions of OEC API DLLs?

Hello.

Having made a small modifications to the 'Sample COM Book.xls' I was able to make a remote connection to a running Trader. But the first reference to properties of a class

Glob.c.RequestContracts Glob.c.BaseContracts.FindBySymbol("ESU1")

causes an error:

[Microsoft Excel: "430 - Class does not support Automation or does not support expected interface"] if error handle placed in class module, or

[Microsoft Visual Basic: "Run-time error '-2147467262 (80004002)': Return argument has an invalid type."] if error handle placed in sheet "Config" module in "UpdateStatus" sub.

Remoting is done with same computer, as Victor explained above. To use two separate computers will not be possible with one login. Clients must use same computer if they wish to share login.



Will need the developers to respond to this question...

I had placed the issue with OnTicks event to development queue for investigation.
