Unhandled Exception: ThomsonReuters.RFA.Common.InvalidUsageException for OMMConsumer::UnregisterC...

We are facing occasional crash in process using RFA API.

and log says:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'rfa::common::InvalidUsageExceptionImpl'

From https://community.developers.refinitiv.com/questions/25948/unhandled-exception-thomsonreutersrfacommoninvalid.html I understood the way to get extra information regarding the exception.

But I don't understand if I am using API in incorrect manner.

Here's stack trace

We're using ROBUST FOUNDATION API 8.1.

//During unsubscribing for symbol. where m_pHandler is of type rfa::common::Handle*
     if(m_pHandler)
     {
         try {
         m_pOMMConsumer->unregisterClient(m_pHandler);                
         }
         catch(...)
         {
             return false;
         }
         return true;
     }
     else
     {
         return false;
     }

Questions :

Is the usage of API correct?

What are the possible scenarios that ommConsumer->unregisterClient(handler) can give InvalidUsageExceptionImpl.?

Thanks for reaching out to us.

It is mentioned in the RFA Developer Guide that there are two ways in which an event stream can be closed:

• The application closes the stream via unregisterClient() call to RFA.
• The application receives an event that closes the stream.

An application should call isEventStreamClosed() function on incoming messages to determine whether an event stream is closed.

If the event stream had already been closed by RFA (as determinable by the isEventStreamClosed() method on an event during event processing), then the application should not call unregisterClient(). The event stream is already closed and the Handle is no longer valid. This rule applies to event streams from all Message Models.

One common mistake is that the application still calls the unregisterClient() method with the closed handle.

If the application is already aware of this, please upgrade the application to use the latest version of RFA 8.2.2.L1 to avoid all known issues. However, if the problem still happens with the latest version of RFA, please contact the Refinitiv Developer Connect (RDC) support team directly via Contact Premium Support.
