c# Ema Login timout on MacOs but not on Windows

Hello,

Me and my team are trying to connect to the Realtime-optimzed instance via c# (asp.net core 8) code and we managed to do so but only on the windows11 machine from my colleague, on my macos 14.2.1 macbook pro m1 I'm always getting an error (see below).

Does this package use some specific feature which doesn't exist on macos ? We couldn't find anything about compatibility issues.

Enabling more trace logs via the config file also doesn't give more logs.


Did anyone had similar issues or maybe has some suggestion ?


Code

https://developers.lseg.com/en/api-catalog/refinitiv-real-time-opnsrc/refinitiv-real-time-csharp-sdk/tutorials#ema-consumer-connecting-to-real-time-optimized It is the same code as in this tutorial just wrapped in a function which is getting called via an endpoint in asp.net core.

// interface.
// OmmConsumerConfig config = new OmmConsumerConfig().Host("ADS:14002").UserName("user");
//Create an instance of OmmConsumerConfig and assign the clientId and clientSecret
OmmConsumerConfig config = new OmmConsumerConfig().ClientId("<clientId>").ClientSecret("<secret>");

//Create an instance of the OMMConsumer class with the OMMConsumerConfig instance
consumer = new OmmConsumer(config);

var array = new OmmArray()

  • Hi @sebastian.schuett,

    The API compatibility matrix does not list MaxOS as one of the supported platforms for EMA C#.

    I don't have access to MacOS 14.2 myself, but have you tried running the basic Consumer 100 example or since you are connecting to RTO, Consumer 450 Service Discovery example as a standalone application without ASP.NET.

    You can directly raise an issue with development team using the Github and ask for support.

  • Hello @sebastian.schuett

    Additionally, the RTSDK C# (EMA and ETA APIs) are tested and qualified with .NET version 6. You can find more detail on the SDK README file.

  • Thanks, but why is the matrix only in the C/C++ documentation and not in the c# documentation if it also contains info for that language ?


    The "Consumer 100" example ist stuck after/at it creates the config

    OmmConsumerConfig config = new OmmConsumerConfig()

    And The "Consumer 450 Service Discovery" lists all services and than is also stuck at creating the config.


    I guess I need to raise an issue on github.

  • On Macos running it with .Net 6 doesn't change the behaviour.
  • Thanks, didn't see the matrix before. May I ask what packages/code is used which makes this package not compatible with a lot more systems? Especially if .Net 5+ can run on almost everything.
  • @sebastian.schuett

    The matrix lists the operating sytems and compilers on which the APIs are tested and we support the APIs on the listed operating sytems and compilers.

    You are correct that .NET 5+ can run on almost everything but they aren't qualified by our product team.

  • Hi thanks for the reply. ay I know why this does not work? So my team can work on a workaround for us mac users if that is possible.

  • Hello @sebastian.schuett

    Based on the Github issues-265, the RTSDK team found that the .NET issues-920 on Mac is the one that caused the issue.
