Connecting MS SQL Server 2014 to EIKON services

Unknown

We are trying to establish a live link that will help us to retrieve TBA pricing by using MS SQLS 2014. There is a report built in SSRS on our side that requires live pricing feed. What is the most efficient way of solving this?

Hi @andrey.zhdanov,

If I understand well, you would like to feed your MS SQL
database with TBA prices retrieved from Eikon and then use SSRS (SQL Server
Reporting Services) to build reports from the data you captured in the database.

I don’t think the Eikon Scripting API is appropriate for this
use case. Indeed, from a contractual point of view, the data retrieved via Eikon
is intended for a single user and should not be redistributed via a database.

The Elektron platform and APIs Zoya mentioned above are
probably more appropriate for your use case. In order to feed your database you
will have to build an application that consumes Elektron real time data and populates
your database with it. To consume the data, the application will have to use one of Elektron
APIs (EMA or ETA) that are available for the C, C++ and Java programming
languages.

Hello @andrey.zhdanov,

Sounds like what you are researching a price feed to meet your realtime data requirements and an API to subscribe to it.

Elektron is a price feed that allows to subscribe to various pricing from around the world, and is part of Elektron Platform, for additional info:

On TR developers portal there is info about Elektron suite of APIs,

Elektron Message API (EMA) in C++ or Java is a high level API that is strategic, straightforward to learn and use, and an efficient way to reach your goal of subscribing to realtime data, that you can store for future retrieval using MS SQL Server.

Thank you all very much for clarifying the matter.
