.NET Refinitiv Data - AWS queue configurability

Hi @lukasz.druczak,

There are no AWS examples in .Net that was created - I basically followed documentation/examples to work with queues I created using the RDP endpoints and utilized the AWS libraries to extract messages from the queues.

The Message Queue URLs provide the details to retrieve, create and delete queues within AWS. For example:

And when you create a queue, you are given details like this:

From here, I would begin to utilize the AWS libraries to pull down details from the queues. I do nothing special to queues as I don't control the configuration of them.

In general, when you create a queue you simply pull off messages at your leisure. However, as expected, there will be some sort of limit as to the number of messages can exist in the queue before the old ones are removed in favor of more recent ones.

Regarding details like:

"How is the queue configured"?

"How many messages does it keep"?

"How long does it live"

Are not managed or configured by the library. These are policies entirely managed by the platform. If you need these level of details, the best resource is to open a helpdesk ticket and they will bring in a backend person to provide these details.

If you want to work with the library and the message queues yourself, you can certainly do this. For example, you can utilize the delivery layer that provides the mechanism to work with the message queue endpoints. What this will do is allow you to: create, retrieve and delete queues within AWS using the EndpointRequest.Definition(). For example, you can retrieve a queue using one of the endpoints and when you have the queue details returned to you, you can begin using the AWS libraries to retrieve messages from the queue. Note: this is a rather ambitious approach and I would recommend you figure out exactly why you need to do this. It's unclear to me what additional details/configuration you need to perform given you have no control over how queues are created in the backend.
