How to decode the key values which is coming as part MBP.

Hi Team,

Can someone help me to understand what key attribute values represent here.

Action = Update, key = 3132 3a36 3032 3437 352f 32 12:602475/2

Entry data:
Name: ORDER_TONE Value: 1
Name: NO_ORD Value: 23
Name: ACC_SIZE Value: 70
Name: LV_TIM_NS Value: 12:39:40:430
Name: LV_TIM_MS Value: 45580430
Name: LV_DATE Value: 29 / 11 / 2024
Name: ORDER_PRC Value: 6024.75
Name: ORDER_SIDE Value: ASK

Based on my understanding that last two part of values are ORDER_PRC and ORDER_SIDE.(i.e 6024.75 and 2). But what about these values "3132 3a36 3032 3437 352f 32 12"

Technology : C++

API : EMA

Hello @rkumar02,

The key value in the MBP or MBO domains is an identifier to uniquely identify a single entry in the book. It does not mean anything else, and are not meant to be used for any other purpose. The makeup of the key can change anytime and with different venues.

Thanks @Gurpreet.

How can we convert values, currently displayed in HEX to a readable format (e.g., a string)? Additionally, could you assist in determining the data type of the key variable in the API?

The data type and conversion to other formats can be performed by using the member functions of EMA_ACCESS_API class Key.
