Is there a way, with UDP or ASCIL (or something else), to close a chart or chartbook automatically. If not would it be possible to add CLOSE_CHART and CLOSE_CHARTBOOK to UDP?

Also, did the ability to send a UDP message to a second copy of SC, ever get implemented as in: OPEN_CHARTBOOK The question in that thread was: Is there a way to direct a UDP 22903 message to a specific instance of SC? It seems that one can only send messages to the first one that is started. Is it possible to configure a given instance to listen on another port for example? and the answer was: We will have to add a setting to specify the port number. My goal with these questions is to control copies of SC without having to look at the screen. One can open, load, and run almost anything but without the ability to close charts or chartbooks or change BaseData symbols, either by UDP or in ASCIL, the only option to avoid growing ever larger, is to restart the program. If I have missed anything, as usual, or you have any suggestions along these lines, please let me know. Great work, as always.

Did an answer get found for this question? Would it be possible to add CLOSE_CHART and CLOSE_CHARTBOOK to UDP or implement the equivalent functionality in ASCIL?

The setting of the UDP port under Data/Trade Service Settings/SC Server Settings works great. Thanks. Is there a CLOSE_CHARTBOOK UDP command yet? Note that this functionality would even better in ASCIL to complement sc.OpenChartOrGetChartReference(). If I open charts automatically to get some information, eventually I have too many open.

We can support the ability in ACSIL to close the specified chart and also close the specified Chartbook. We will get this done by the end of the week. We apologize for the delay.

This is what will be added: sc.CloseChart(int ChartNumber) This will close the chart that has the specified Chart Number which exists in the Chartbook which contains the chart the study which is making the call is located in. sc.CloseChartbook(SCString & ChartbookFileName) This will close the Chartbook with the specified filename. A path does not have to be specified but if it is, it will be used. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.
