Hi, Is there a way I can make my studies read values from an external datasource on start-up? Could be a file/mysql server. I am looking to store certain env variables outside of SC ecosystem and have my studies read them on start up. Many Thanks -J |

Yes of course. Just simply program that. Not sure the purpose of the question. You have full access to the C++ language and the Windows API.

Ah! So the study should be able to access external resources without any restrictions. (I presumed there would be restrictions imposed by Sierra runtime and that I'll have to use ACSIL api only to bypass that) Thanks a ton. -J Date Time Of Last Edit: 2020-04-30 11:39:50

No. You are utilizing the actual C++ language and have access to the full Windows API. There are no restrictions Sierra Chart can place.
