What does SNAP_AND_DYNAMIC_VIEW license entail?

I just tried to receive data for multiple RICs and got the message that I don't have the proper License (SNAP_AND_DYNAMIC_VIEW)

The same happens when I try to use the "View" feature to limit the response to a handful of fields.

Basically it seems that I need this additional license if I want to receive fewer fields (using the "View") and also if I want to receive data for multiple RICs at the same time instead of reading them in succession.

Did I understand this right or is there more to this license? Do I have access to more data or highere quality data with this SNAP_AND_DYNAMIC_VIEW license?

Thanks,
Wolfgang

    The difference is the application using batch just sends a single request containing all items e.g. 100 items to ADS instead of sending multiple requests e.g. 100 requests for 100 items. Hence, Batch can help you to reduce bandwidth and time to request items. Anyway, the responses for a batch request and normal requests are the same. The responses of all items are delivered individually. For example, 100 items in a batch request or 100 item requests will get 100 item responses back.

    The figure illustrates a consumer issuing a batch request:

    SNAP_AND_DYNAMIC_VIEW license is required to be installed on ADS when your application requests snapshot batch(snapshot multiple items in a single batch request) or view. Please contact the Account team who can help you in process and detalis to obtain the license.

  • So... is there a difference between requesting multiple Items as batch or just requesting them one after the other?

    I can't see if I would be able to do anything with the additional license that I could not do already.
