Testing the Adapter

If the adapter is not working as expected, you can perform a quick sanity check by executing the esp_rmds command and verifying whether the adapter is sending Reuters market data to Event Stream Processor.

• Execute esp_rmds:

  esp_rmds -v

• This command returns the adapter release number and the revision number of the source tree separated by an underscore character. Ensure that your version of the adapter is compatible with your version of Event Stream Processor.
• There are several ways to verify whether the Reuters Marketfeed adapter is publishing to RMDS:
  • Use the tail command on the adapter log file to which console output was redirected or any of the Reuters publisher log files (specified in rfapub.cfg) to look for activity.
  • Use the esp_subscribe command to look at the outbound stream and verify that values are changing.
  • Use RMDS tools to subscribe to RICs provided by the output adapter.
  • Use an input adapter to subscribe to the output adapter.
