How to get Exchange Information from a Market Price Domain
Overview
Update: December 2020
For some instruments, the suffix of RIC indicates the exchange where it is traded, e.g. HSBA.L (.L = LSE - London Stock Exchange), HBC.N (.N = NYSE - New York Stock Exchange). However, there are some instruments without the exchange code suffix like TWXF2Z7 (Time Warner DEC7), KC4F5Z7 (Kone Corp DEC7), etc. How does the application know the exchange of those instruments?
Solution
Refinitiv Real-Time provides a short exchange name information via the FID 1709 (Field name RDN_EXCHD2) for the Market Price domain. This FID 1709 is the enumeration field that is used in most of the exchanges. The Refinitiv Real-Time SDK 1.1.0 (Enterprise Message API Java 3.1.0) (formerly known as Elektron SDK/Elektron Message API) and above can retrieve an enum value from dictionary directly, so it can help a consumer application get a short exchange name from this enumeration field.
IMPORTANT Rebranding Announcement:
Starting with version RTSDK 2.0.0.L1 (same as EMA/ETA 3.6.0.L1), there are namespace changes and library name changes. Please note that all interfaces remain the same as prior releases of RTSDK and Elektron SDK and will remain fully wire compatible. Along with RTSDK 2.X version, a REBRAND.md is published to detail impact to existing applications and how to quickly adapt to the re-branded libraries. Existing applications will continue to work indefinitely as-is. Applications should be proactively rebranded to be able to utilize new features, security updates or fixes post 2.X release. Please see PCN for more details on support.

Solution Code
This 1709 FID is an enumeration field type consisting of a set of mnemonics; each with its specific meaning. A displayable string represents each exchange short name is associated with each of these mnemonics. The mapping between mnemonics and the displayable string is required to get a suitable and meaningful exchange short name. The EMA Java 3.1.0 API (and above) can help the application gets an enumeration field value and map it to a displayable value with only a few line of code.
Please see the ExchangeName example that modified from EMA Java's ex360_MP_View (example360__MarketPrice__View in previous versions) example to subscribe and handle FID 1709 below.
1. Firstly, we create the OMM ElementList object to keep the OMM Payload and the OMM Array to keep interested FIDs in the ExchangeName class
public class ExchangeName{
...
//View
ElementList view = EmaFactory.createElementList();
OmmArray view_array = EmaFactory.createOmmArray();
}
2. Then we add the interested FIDs including 1709 to the OMM Array
public class ExchangeName{
...
//View
ElementList view = EmaFactory.createElementList();
OmmArray view_array = EmaFactory.createOmmArray();
view_array.fixedWidth(2);
view_array.add(EmaFactory.createOmmArrayEntry().intValue(3)); //DSPLY_NAME
view_array.add(EmaFactory.createOmmArrayEntry().intValue(22)); //BID
view_array.add(EmaFactory.createOmmArrayEntry().intValue(25)); //ASK
view_array.add(EmaFactory.createOmmArrayEntry().intValue(1709)); //RDN_EXCHD2
}
3. Next, we add the OMM Array to the view ElementList by setting VIEW Type to 1 (FID) and VIEW Data to the array
public class ExchangeName{
...
//View
...
view.add(EmaFactory.createElementEntry().uintValue(EmaRdm.ENAME_VIEW_TYPE, 1));
view.add(EmaFactory.createElementEntry().array(EmaRdm.ENAME_VIEW_DATA, view_array));
}
4. Next, we create the ReqMsg object and set the view ElementList as a request's payload. EMA Java will send a snapshot item request (non-streaming) to Refinitiv Real-Time Advanced Distribution Server with the View feature.
public class ExchangeName{
...
//View
...
view.add(EmaFactory.createElementEntry().uintValue(EmaRdm.ENAME_VIEW_TYPE, 1));
view.add(EmaFactory.createElementEntry().array(EmaRdm.ENAME_VIEW_DATA, view_array));
consumer.registerClient(EmaFactory.createReqMsg()
.serviceName("ELEKTRON_DD")
.name("TRI.N")
.interestAfterRefresh(false)
.payload(view)
, appClient);
}
5. In the OmmConsumerClient application code, we implement the decode function that iterates incoming data FieldList in the onRefreshMsg and onUpdateMsg callbacks
class AppClient implements OmmConsumerClient
public void onRefreshMsg(RefreshMsg refreshMsg, OmmConsumerEvent event){
...
if (DataType.DataTypes.FIELD_LIST == refreshMsg.payload().dataType())
decode(refreshMsg.payload().fieldList());
}
}
6. We implement the decode function to handle and print out DataTypes.ENUM, so the application will get FID 1709 enumerate value (enumtype.def) automatically.
class AppClient implements OmmConsumerClient
public void onRefreshMsg(RefreshMsg refreshMsg, OmmConsumerEvent event){
...
if (DataType.DataTypes.FIELD_LIST == refreshMsg.payload().dataType())
decode(refreshMsg.payload().fieldList());
}
...
void decode(FieldList fieldList){
for (FieldEntry fieldEntry : fieldList){
System.out.print("Fid: " + fieldEntry.fieldId() + " Name = " + fieldEntry.name() + " DataType: " + DataType.asString(fieldEntry.load().dataType()) + " Value: ");
if (Data.DataCode.BLANK == fieldEntry.code())
System.out.println(" blank");
else
switch (fieldEntry.loadType()){
...
case DataTypes.ENUM: //Handle FID 1709
System.out.println(fieldEntry.hasEnumDisplay() ? fieldEntry.enumDisplay() : fieldEntry.enumValue());
break;
case DataTypes.RMTES: //Handle FID 3
System.out.println(fieldEntry.rmtes());
break;
...
}
}
}
Running the application
The application source code is available at GitHub. You can get it via the following git command
$>git clone git@github.com:Refinitiv-API-Samples/Article.EMA.Java.ExchangeShortName.git
Note: The application works with EMA Java 3.6.0 (Real-Time SDK 2.0.0) and above which supports the enum parsing only.
You can build the application and run it via the following steps
- Install and configure Apache ANT and Apache IVY in your machine
- Configure the Channel_1 of EmaConfig.xml file to specify the host name and RSSL Port of the server (Refinitiv Real-Time Advanced Distribution Server) to which the EMA connects. This is for setting values of the node. This value can be a remote host name or IP address.
<Channel>
<Name value="Channel_1"/>
<ChannelType value="ChannelType::RSSL_SOCKET"/>
<CompressionType value="CompressionType::None"/>
<GuaranteedOutputBuffers value="5000"/>
<ConnectionPingTimeout value="30000"/>
<TcpNodelay value="1"/>
<Host value="[Your Refinitiv Real-Time Advanced Distribution Server HOST]"/>
<Port value="[Your Refinitiv Real-Time Advanced Distribution Server RSSL Port]"/>
</Channel>
3. You can change the requested service and item name in the following line of code to match your environment
consumer.registerClient(EmaFactory.createReqMsg().serviceName("<service>").name("<item name>").interestAfterRefresh(false).payload(view), appClient);
4. Build the application with ant command. All application class files will be available at "out" folder, the EmaConfig.xml also copied to the out folder automatically.
$>ant build
5. Stay in the same location, run the application with the following command
java -cp out;lib/* com.refinitiv.platformservices.article.ExchangeName
6. The example output when you run the application for each item name:
//IBM.N
Item Name: IBM.N
Service Name: ELEKTRON_DD
Item State: Non-streaming / Ok / None / 'All is well'
Fid: 3 Name = DSPLY_NAME DataType: Rmtes Value: INTL BUS MACHINE
Fid: 22 Name = BID DataType: Real Value: 0.0
Fid: 25 Name = ASK DataType: Real Value: 0.0
Fid: 1709 Name = RDN_EXCHD2 DataType: Enum Value: NYS //FID value: 2 "NYS" New York Stock Exchange
//HSBA.L
Item Name: HSBA.L
Service Name: ELEKTRON_DD
Item State: Open / Ok / None / 'All is well'
Fid: 3 Name = DSPLY_NAME DataType: Rmtes Value: HSBC HOLDINGS
Fid: 22 Name = BID DataType: Real Value: 642.8
Fid: 25 Name = ASK DataType: Real Value: 642.9
Fid: 1709 Name = RDN_EXCHD2 DataType: Enum Value: LSE //FID value: 64 "LSE" London Stock Exchange
//PTT.BK
Item Name: PTT.BK
Service Name: ELEKTRON_DD
Item State: Non-streaming / Ok / None / 'All is well'
Fid: 3 Name = DSPLY_NAME DataType: Rmtes Value: PTT
Fid: 22 Name = BID DataType: Real Value: 35.25
Fid: 25 Name = ASK DataType: Real Value: 35.5
Fid: 1709 Name = RDN_EXCHD2 DataType: Enum Value: SET //FID value: 158 "SET" The Stock Exchange of Thailand
Conclusion
If your application subscribes to data from Refinitiv Real-Time Infrastructure and you need an exchange information, you can get it from the FID 1709 (RDN_EXCHD2). The EMA Java API (version 3.1.0 and above) can help an application consume and parse this FID to get an exchange short name with only a few lines of code.
