When does a handle returned by thomsonreuters::ema::access::OmmConsumer::registerClient become i...

We are saving the handle returned by 

thomsonreuters::ema::access::OmmConsumer::registerClient

when we subscribe to a RIC. When we are no longer interested, we call 

thomsonreuters::ema::access::OmmConsumer::unregister

with the saved handle.

It looks like EMA reuses handles and we are facing the following issue.

  1. We subscribe to let's say instrument ABCD, we get back handle for it, let's say x.
  2. We get a onStatusMsg callback saying stream is closed, we don't have permission or the record could not be found. We queue the instrument ABCD for unsubscribe with handle x. It looks like behind the scene EMA has already unsubcribed that handle and thinks handle x is free to reuse.
  3. We subscribe to instrument EFGH, we get back handle x for it.
  4. Our queued unsubcription for instrument ABCD calls unregister with handle x. This causes unsubscribe for instrument EFGH as EMA beleives handle x is now associated with instrument EFGH subscription.
  5. We beleive we are subscribed for instrument EFGH but never get a callback as EMA already unsubscribed it.

So it looks like the handle returned by registerClient becomes invalid at some point as it is no longer associated with the instrument we subscribed for. When does it happen? Is there a documentation for it? When should we not call unregister?

Thanks.

    Hi @nm

    You are correct - only OpenEnum indicates the stream remains open - once the stream is closed, the handle will become invalid as the API has unregistered the handle.

    OpenEnum Indicates the stream is opened and will incur interest after the final refresh. NonStreamingEnum Indicates the item will not incur interest after the final refresh - i.e stream is closed immediately after the refresh.
    ClosedEnum Indicates the stream is closed.
    ClosedRecoverEnum Indicates the stream is closed, typically unobtainable or identity indeterminable due to a comms outage. The item may be available in the future.
    ClosedRedirectedEnum Indicates the stream is closed and has been renamed. The stream is available with another name. This stream state is only valid for refresh messages. The new item name is in the Name get accessor methods.

    To expand on the Redirected : The current stream is closed and has new identifying information. The user can issue a new request for the data using the new message key data from the redirect message. This state can result from either a RefreshMsg or a StatusMsg e.g. if a RIC is renamed by the feed. You can read more about this in section 12.1.3.3 of the ETA Devguide
