EMA tracing of incoming messages with XmlTraceRead=1 to file(s) does not work properly.

Reactor read messages are written to files only when XmlTraceToFile=1, XmlTraceRead=1 and XmlTraceToStdout=1. Simultaneosly these messages logged to stdout as well.

It seems there is an error in the code, see https://github.com/Refinitiv/Real-Time-SDK/blob/206e4e5a3255da3afcfa75f5da151a8efef6de8e/Java/Eta/ValueAdd/src/main/java/com/refinitiv/eta/valueadd/reactor/Reactor.java#L4809

I guess it should be _reactorOptions.xmlTraceToFile() instead of _reactorOptions.xmlTracePing() in the if condition.

RTDSK version is 3.7.3.0

To reproduce use the following XML configurations and compare the logs:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><EmaConfig>
<ConsumerGroup>
<DefaultConsumer value="Consumer_0"/>
<ConsumerList>

<Name value="Consumer_0"/>

Hello @VadimVashkevich

Thank you for reaching out to us. I can replicate the same behavior with EMA Java 3.7.3.0 and ex100_MP_Streaming example. My EmaConfig.xml file is as follows:

<Consumer>
    <!-- Name is mandatory    -->
    <Name value="Consumer_1"/>
    <!-- Channel is optional: defaulted to "RSSL_SOCKET + localhost + 14002" -->
    <!-- Channel or ChannelSet may be specified -->
    <Channel value="Channel_1"/>
    <!-- Dictionary is optional: defaulted to "ChannelDictionary" -->
    <Dictionary value="Dictionary_2"/>
    <XmlTraceToStdout value="0"/>
    <XmlTraceToFile value="1"/>
    <XmlTraceFileName value="C:\\logs\\api.log"/>
</Consumer>

• With <XmlTraceToFile value="1"/> + <XmlTraceToStdout value="0"/>, the API logs only outgoing messages
• With <XmlTraceToFile value="1"/> + <XmlTraceToStdout value="1"/>, the API logs both incoming and outgoint messages
