  • Hello @monakhov

    Please see my answers below:

    1. You can check the description of the fields in Elektron-SDK-1.3.0.L1.java.rrg\Java\etc\. The files are RDMFieldDictionary containing the field's info e.g. field name, type, description and enumtype.def containing the Enum type's info.

    2.This is data question which is best directed to the data team; this forum is for software developers using API but the data questions are not related to software development. You can contact data team via Get Support. Select Product "Thomson Reuters Elektron Real-Time". If you face any difficulties submitting the queries, please contact the Account team.

    3. The document for all classes is EMA Java Reference Manuals . At All Classes section, click the classes you want to get their documentation i.e. ReqMsg and OmmConsumer.

    Hope this help.
