We are trying to do something really simple, connect and contribute to EMA. To cut a long story short, after a month of trying and our network guys analyzing the lines we went back to basics and downloaded the sample application:
https://developers.refinitiv.com/elektron/elektron-sdk-cc/downloads#title-3
We built on windows using Visual studio 2012 compiler linked and run it but just like our main application every time we run it, on the following line:
OmmConsumer consumer(config.username("rmds"));
it throws a OmmException:
0x000000faac6fd9d4 "Exception Type='OmmInvalidUsageException', Text='login failed (timed out after waiting 45000 milliseconds) for chp02-emea2.thomsonreuters.com:443)', ErrorCode='-4052'"
Our network guys believe this error sits firmly on the Reuters side and I can see many people in the past have had simulate issues. We even followed some of their crazier ideas like Windows can't talk to Linux so change the server to have a chwp02-emea2.thomsonreuters.com but that didn't work.
We really need a solution for this, the whole point of an example app is it works and you can use it as a reference point to trouble shoot issues in your main app.
