How to get AppInstanceId

sbrum

I'm attempting to set up the Workspace SDK in container mode, but that requires an AppInstanceId, how do I obtain this?

I have Refinitiv Workspace up and running, and can navigate to my webpage that has the app running the WorkspaceSDK, and I have the Loader.init set up with everything it needs, except I'm not sure where to get the AppInstanceId from.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks for clarifying. I think the product team will provide you with App instance ID - the document says the Container mode is a special compatibility mode and to contact LSEG Workspace team - workspace-sdk@lseg .com

Hello @sbrum

I am not sure what you mean by container mode - the SDK and the components have to be on a same physical machine where the Workspace is running.

Moreover, I would recommend that all new developments use the LD Library for TypeScript instead of the non strategic Workspace SDK.

The LD library can be used with Workspace in a browser and there is an example of this on the GitHub.

Within the Workspace SDK (found here: https://developers.lseg.com/en/api-catalog/workspace-sdk/workspace-sdk/documentation). I am attempting the following:

Loader.init(
{ AppInstanceId: 'YOUR_APP_ID', Mode: Modes.Container },
['DesktopAgent']
).then(async (WSDK: WorkspaceSDK) => {
await WSDK.DesktopAgent.open('Q');
}).catch((error) => {
console.error('Error loading Workspace SDK');
});

And looking to find the YOUR_APP_ID, or how to obtain it while running within the Desktop application.

Hope this helps, thank you.
