Reuters Information

You need several pieces of information from Reuters to enable the Reuters Marketfeed adapter to publish to the RMDS.

The name of the Reuters service on which the adapter transmits data
Up-to-date lists of valid Reuters Instrument Codes (RICs) and Field Identifiers (FID) used by RMDS
The Product Permission Code assigned by Reuters

The adapter does not work with the Reuters Data Access Control System (DACS), so the Product Permission Code is needed to allow access to the information you are transmitting on the RMDS.

A list of FIDs, $ESP_REUTERS_HOME/config/appendix_a, has been supplied as part of the Reuters adapter distribution. You can obtain the latest list and other information from your Reuters technical contact.

The datatype of the Event Stream Processor column must be compatible with the Reuters FID datatype that feeds it. This table shows possible matches between Event Stream Processor and FID datatypes:

Event Stream Processor Datatype	Reuters Datatype
`integer`, `long`	`integer` or `price`
`money, float`	`price`
`string`	`alphanumeric`
`date, timestamp`	`date` or `time`
