Multiple RICs

When configuring an input adapter, you will usually want to specify multiple RICs.

There are several ways to do this:

Specify each individual RIC by entering the name directly into the map file or use an XML ENTITY include file.
Specify a chain RIC from Reuters.
Create a dynamic watch list, which employs Event Stream Processor to specify the list of RICs.
Use a combination of the options above.

Individual RICs
Enter an item element declaration for each RIC you want in the itemList section of the map file.
Chain RIC
When you specify the name of a chain RIC, Reuters translates it to a list of individual RICs. Chain RICs usually contain all of the RICs from a single market or for a single index instrument, such as the S&P 500 or the Russell 2000.
Creating a Dynamic Watch List
Creating a dynamic watch list is a bit more complex than creating individual or chain RICs, but is also more flexible. Chain RICs are limited to those defined by Reuters, but with this method you can specify a customized list of RICs.
