Hello @michael.theimer01

I checked both EMA Document and the API itself. The EMA API supports loading the entire EmaConfig.xml file from the classpath resources only, but not for the Dictionary files. The location dictionary files location now support relative physical paths string.

If the client needs this feature in the future release of the SDK, the client can submit an enhancement request to the product team via the https://my.refinitiv.com/content/mytr/en/feedback.html page.

Hello @michael.theimer01

The client can set <DictionaryType value="DictionaryType::ChannelDictionary"/> to let the API request and download Dictionary information from the infrastructure (ADS, RTO) for the application.

Please see more detail about the DictionaryType configuration from the Enterprise Message API (EMA) - Configuration Overview article.

Example:

<Consumer>
    <Name value="Consumer_1"/>
    <Channel value="Channel_1"/>
    <Dictionary value="Dictionary_1"/>
    <XmlTraceToStdout value="0"/>
</Consumer>
...
<Dictionary>
    <Name value="Dictionary_1"/>
    <!-- dictionaryType is optional: defaulted to ChannelDictionary" -->
    <!-- possible values: ChannelDictionary, FileDictionary -->
    <!-- if dictionaryType is set to ChannelDictionary, file names are ignored -->
    <DictionaryType value="DictionaryType::ChannelDictionary"/>
</Dictionary>

Thank you wasin.w for your answer, but client want to use RCC Contribution Channel and RCC don't have the option to download the dictionary. So the only option is a path I guess. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Best Regards, Michael

Hi API Support Team, can you please confirm that RCC don't have the download option. Thank You.

I checked the source directory of the DDS_TRCE provided by RCC.

It doesn't contain 5 (RSSL_DMT_DICTIONARY) in its Capabilities and it doesn't provide the DictionariesProvided element entry.

Compared to the Real-Time service (ELEKTRON_DD), it provides both the RSSL_DMT_DICTIONARY (5) capability and the DictionariesProvided element entry.

According to this information, the DDS_TRCE service doesn't support dictionary requests.

However, to confirm the behavior in the product, please contact the Refinitiv Contributions Channel support team directly via MyRefinitv.
