Getting error While fetching rates through LPC, Unable to open or read specified input file

Thanks for confirming the parameter values,

Can you also confirm the enumtype.def and RDMFieldDictionary are in the locations specified?

../../etc/enumtype.def
../../etc/RDMFieldDictionary

If you refer to your original error message, the final part is 'Unable to open or read specified input file' - which would suggest LPC cannot locate them.

Perhaps it would be better to specify the absolute path for the files, rather than relative paths - just to be absolutely sure the LPC converter is looking in the right place.

If the above is correct or you change the paths to absolute paths and you are still unable to download the dictionary, then I recommend you raise a My.Refinitiv support ticket. This forum is primarily for API 'how to' and programming type queries. The moderators are mostly LPC users and not LPC experts - therefore, the assistance we can offer is limited.

Is this an existing LPC installation + existing application that has suddenly stopped working or is this a new install and/or new application?

Also please confirm which version of LPC you are using?

Hi Umer,

Thanks..

It's new LPC installation and trying to fetch market rates very first time through LPC.

The LPC Version is 1.2.0.

Hi Umer,

Please refer to section 9.2 of the Refinitiv_Real-Time_Legacy_Protocol_Converter.pdf which comes with the LPC installation package.

Have you set the downloadDictionary parameter to True? If it is False, then can you confirm the data dictionary files are in the configured location e.g.?

*lpc*downloadDictionary : False
*lpc*enumFile : /opt/lpc/etc/enumtype.def
*lpc*fieldDictionary : /opt/lpc/etc/RDMFieldDictionary

Even if set to True, as per the documentation, if the download fails it would still try to load from the local files - so please ensure the files are present in the locations specified in the above config parameters.

Hi Umer,
Follwing is the configuration at my end:
!!
!! Dictionary Parameters
!!
*lpc*downloadDictionary : True
*lpc*enumFile : ../../etc/enumtype.def
*lpc*fieldDictionary : ../../etc/RDMFieldDictionary

The *lpc*downloadDictionary is set as TRUE only.

Kindly check and guide, if we are missing anything else
