problem in SDM

john.storm

Hi team,

Client is saying that in SDM they have a user meeting the below problems:
It recovers some economic indicators (ex: aUSCPI, aFRCPIXT), uses the AdxRtHistory class to extract the last publication of some price indexes (CPI), and this class in principle draws from the source TS1.
However, he noted this month that while the FEB17 index of the French and US CPIs has been published by the corresponding statistical offices and that they are up to date in the Eikon Charts, the elements recovered using AdxRtHistory for The 2 indices are not up to date,
Which highlights the unreliability of this source, especially since Reuters informed us that TS1 is going to disappear.
Given the programmed obsolescence TS1,
They explored other alternatives to retrieve the desired TimeSeries, which are listed as follows:
 Rhistory API: Because Access is not considered an Office application, it is not possible to use this new version of API.
 DEX (using the Rdata method): using this method via Access works well for Equation or Indices type instruments. On the other hand, this is not usable for economic indicators since no 'TR' type field is available to retrieve this kind of values (field search carried out via Item Data Browser)
 .Net API (SDK): This track has been tested under Visual Studio and retrieves the updated values.
However, when trying to link this dll in an Access database after copying it to the Eikon folder, Access refuses to link it.
Can you see on your side if in the Developer Kit you find an equivalent DLL for this last track and which can be exploitable under Access?
Thanks for your help

Hi John,

This has already been asked and answered here:

There are two options that we can consider, but both require some investigation on our side. Could you please send me your contact details on evgenij.kovalev@tr.com
