Can't connect to IB TWS Latest 9472 (Nov 12 2014) from SierraChart 1212

Hi,

I've upgraded TWS to version Latest 9472 (Nov 12 2014) and SierraChart to version 1212. It seems that SierraChart can't connect to IB due to too old API version - I had to upgrade my own proprietary clients to newer API ActiveX. The only meaningful message I see in the SierraChart log is "Sending client version 62", then it fails due to timeout waiting on response from TWS.

Unfortunately, I can't provide more details to you as I had to revert back to the previous release of TWS as I need to trade on Monday :-)

Currently we are running the desktop version of 947.2 and we are able to successfully connect:

Make sure you acknowledged the dialog that TWS displays to accept an incoming connection.

Thank you for following-up. You are right, the issue is unrelated to SierraChart. For some reason, my TWS stops accepting incoming connections from remote clients (I'm running TWS and SierraCharts on different workstations) after some time - it seems to be a problem of 9472.
