On a Mac I have a variety of Python scripts (programs) that access the Thomson Reuters / Refinitiv databases requiring the Eikon API proxy to be running. This has been working for me for about two years. After a few successful accesses this morning, since about an hour or so, on opening the Eikon API proxy the login screen does NOT appear.
I had not touched my development machine (another Mac) where the Eikon API proxy is installed as well. After running into this error I fired up this development machine and the Eikon API proxy on that machine. I got the very same result: again the login screen does NOT appear.
If I launch the Eikon API proxy no screen appears at all and the only option presented in the top bar of MacOS is <Quit>.
Please explain how I should proceed. (I would really appreciate having this addressed before the US markets open later today.)
