DSS Instrument List (Auto Upload)

pakrudeenali.mohamedmeeran · October 2017

Question:

a) How to upload/override the Instrument List against DSS GUI from Incoming Folder?

b) Share some sample C# code to auto upload instrument file from FTP landing zone (Incoming folder)?

You can upload a XML file to the "Incoming folder" on ftp://hosted.datascope.reuters.com to append or override instrument in an InstrumentList defined in DSS GUI. For more detail, please see the DSS FTP User Guide. The sample XML to append instruments is below.

<InputList>
<InputListAction>Append</InputListAction>
<Name>myInstrumentListName</Name>
<Instrument>
<IdentifierType>RIC</IdentifierType>
<Identifier>IBM.N</Identifier>
<Exchange>NYS</Exchange>
</Instrument>
<Instrument>
<IdentifierType>RIC</IdentifierType>
<Identifier>VECO.OQ</Identifier>
</Instrument>
</InputList>

However, I recommend using DSS .NET SDK instead of FTP for C# application. Please see this tutorial for more information. The C# Example Application in this page also provide sample of codes to update/delete instruments from the InstrumentList.

Thanks for your response.

But am getting below error, when I tried with sample code.
