Error: Illegal attempt on RFA log

Akechi Sato

I got the below error when connecting to ADS with RSSL
connection.

Exception Error

AN EXCEPTION HAS BEEN THROWN!  The following information describes the exception:
Exception Type: InvalidConfigurationException
Exception Severity: Error
Exception Classification: ConfigurationError
Exception Status Text: Illegal attempt to create MarketDataSubscriber using RSSL connection type 
	Connection name: Connection_SSLED 
	Connection type: RSSL
Session: Session1

What is the cause of this error?

From the error, the application uses legacy MD interface
(MarketDataSubscriber) which doesn’t support RSSL connection type.

MarketDataSubscriber supports SSLED connection type which
uses TCP port 8101 (default port).

\Connections\Connection_SSLED\PortNumber                                                  = 8101
\Connections\Connection_SSLED\UserName                                                     = "<username>"
\Connections\Connection_SSLED\ServerList                                                       = "<hostname>"
\Connections\Connection_SSLED\connectionType                                            = "SSLED"

Therefore, the legacy application (MarketDataSubscriber)
can’t switch to RSSL connection type. If the connectionType used by
MarketDataSubscriber is RSSL, RFA will generate this log.

Illegal attempt to create MarketDataSubscriber using RSSL connection type 
    Connection name: Connection_SSLED 
    Connection type: RSSL

To support RSSL connection type, the application must use OMM interface (OMMConsumer). Please refer to the StarterConsumer
example in RFA package which shows how to use OMM interface to create a
consumer application. Otherwise, you can refer to these online tutorials.
