Can we configure Elektron API to connect over Internet

Hello @debashish.bisoi

Could you explain Elektrton API to connect over Internet? Would you like Elektron API connect to the server running on cloud e.g. Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services(AWS)? or Would you like it to connect to the server via HTTP or HTTPS?

Both EMA and ETA Java support connecting to the server on the cloud across a TCP/IP but the server has to provide RSSL(Reuters Source Sink Library) port(default is 14002).

Currently only ETA Java supports Internet Connectivity via HTTP and HTTPS as the diagram shown below:

For details, please refer to Transport API Java Developer Guides(Elektron-SDK1.1.0.java.rrg\Eta\Docs\ETAJ_DevGuide.pdf) shipped with Elektron SDK - Java package

We have the Java Elektron APi connecting to ADS server/Private telco circuits locally installed , Instead of that we want to explore how we can directly connect to Reuters platform directly over Internet bypassing the ADS

Hello @debashish.bisoi

Please contact your Thomson Reuters Account team to confirm if Reuters platform server provides RSSL(Reuters Source Sink Library) port. If so and if your machine can reach to Reuters platform server, Elektron Java API can connect to it without ADS.

Both ETA C and ETAJ support connectivity over the internet using the Encrypted and HTTP connection types. Configuration and use is covered in the product developer guides. When using encryption, a component to offer decryption/encryption is generally required on the server side of the connection and you would typically connect using an SSL tunneling port (e.g. 443) vs the standard 14002 RSSL port.
