EZD sevice name and username

preshan.govinder LSEG
in Elektron

Hi,

Reading through the Elektron API quick start guide. a client's using electron connect and wishes to connect the Elektron API to EZD. In order to do so they need the service name and user name. Where would they get these details from. Is this pre-configured when the EZD app is installed?

Extract from the API userguide:

"To
properly execute this step, you would need access to Thomson Reuters Market
Data

system.
The market Data endpoint can be an Advanced Distribution Server (ADS),

Elektron
Zero Daemon or a local provider source. Your market data administrator can

provide
details about the server
hostname and RSSL port. In addition, you would need

to
know what is the Service Name provided by the server, and a valid Username entitled

to request market data.

Many thanks

    @preshan.govinder: The EZD service name is configured when the product is installed. You can see the configured service name and RSSL port in the ezd.cnf file -

    *ezd*secureConnection*IDN_RDF*clientServiceName: ELEKTRON_AD 
    *ezd*snkRsslServer*rsslPort : 14002

    The username is also configured at install time and can be read from the ILA file. ILA file is configured in the key:

    *ezd*userILAFile : ..../bin/user_list.txt

    It contains the comma seperated username and ILA number.
