How to throttle response using RFA

hdiniz

If I have 10 RIC in the itemList and perform a sendItemRequest() for each of them, is there a way that I can throttle the responses with the RFA event queue dispatch() API? Say I just want to receive the feeds for those 10 RICs once every 15 seconds.

I looked at throttleEnabled, throttleBatchCount, throttleType but they don't seem to throttle the responses. We are using RFA v8.2 C++ edition.

Hello @hdiniz

There is no mechanism to automatically reduce or throttle the message update rate from within the RFA API. The throttle configuration parameters are only applied to the outgoing messages which are sent to the infrastructure and not the incoming message rate.

The RTMDS has ability to apply conflation algorithms to the message stream, but it needs to be configured in the ADS.

You can try to do a snapshot subscription to the instruments every few seconds, or program in a way to ignore the unwanted updates in your processEvent callback.
