Do We need to handle rfa::message::RespMsg::ClearCacheFlag in LL2 MBP domain?


We are using RFA 8.1 C++ API to consume depth data using LL2 MBP (MP domain).

Do We need to handle rfa::message::RespMsg::ClearCacheFlag in LL2 MBP domain?

It is marked as optional in documentation [RDMUsageGuide].

But we are facing some issue with the levels we receive, we doubt that we are not handling some instruction like ClearCacheFlag . Is this the case , Should we also handle ClearCacheFlag in LL2 MBP domain?

    Yes, the application needs to handle the ClearCacheFlag. It indicates that the stream’s stored payload information should be cleared

  • In case specific to LL2 MBP [MP domain] as well?

  • Yes, this is a flag in the response message (refresh and status).

    Any payload (MP, MBP, MBO, etc) in the response should be cleared.
