DTC Protocol - JSON heartbeat (ping client->server) - bug?

View Count: 621

I'm sending a heartbeat(ping) back to the server - Sierra logs confirm that - but it doesn't register as a heartbeat and times out after 60 sec.
Data flows to the client fine. I have the null terminator at the end of the json as well.

(PHP)

$msg = '{"Type":3}'."\0";
$conn2->send($msg);

This is completely unrelated to a DTC protocol heartbeat:

This is the failure for the websocket client to be sending through a websocket ping.

$ping = new Frame('', true, Frame::OP_PING);
$conn2->send($ping);

That fixed it. Thank you. No more disconnects.

Follow up question.
I'm sending 300, 601, 400 and 305 messages yet I'm not getting a response on most of the requests. Position and Balance request come in only if there is an open position and the price changes to affect the open P&L.

We do not know from memory, what those messages are. Best to give the names of them.

Did you also enable Global Settings >> Sierra Chart Server Settings >> DTC Protocol Server >> Allow Trading.

You absolutely should get a response for all of those requests.

Even if it is a rejection message.

My mistake again - was sending \n instead of \0 for termination. All issues resolved. No bugs with sierra :)

Hello,

I am trying to implement my necessary DTC Communication in Perl. And I am failed on the missing heartbeat within 20 seconds.


$ping = new Frame('', true, Frame::OP_PING);

I expect the $PING is a JSON Format Value, what content is it?

If I would write it be text, what do I have to send as Heartbeat?

Thanks
best regards
Carsten

I add something during initiation of the connection:

connection init
$client->send_text_frame(
encode_json {
Type=>1,
ProtocolVersion=>8,
HeartbeatIntervalInSeconds=>120,
ClientName=>'Client'
}
);
}

I think request for inititiation the Connection does not take place. The heartbeat interval is not changed.

Do I have to change / add something to my init JSON String?

We definitely do not recommend a heartbeat interval of 120 seconds. It should be about 20 seconds.

First resolve that.

This is only for testing if my send JSON does change anything. Yes, of I will use 5 sec instead.

5 or 0 sec. It is not important to me.

I changed it to 18 sec, but still the same of course.

Hello,

got success:

(I use Perl )
Now I send for Logon

$client->send_text_frame("{\"Type\":1,\"HeartbeatIntervalInSeconds\":18,\"ClientName\":\"DTC4FMA\"}\0");

};

Additionally I see the heartbeat request Type 3 which comes JSON Compact encoded.


{
'Type' => 3,
'F' => [
0,
1674546515,
0,
0,

0,
762,
0,
0,

]
};


What do I have to answer on the heartbeat request? Do I have to answer in JSON Compact Encoding too?

Thanks for help

Hello,

could it be enough to send the following JSON Frame?

{type:3}\0

I have not tested until now, but I read in the Documentation:

There are no required member fields to set in this message. The purpose of the HEARTBEAT message is so that the Client or the Server can determine whether the other side is still connected.

But this is the starting point of this thread?

Thanks for your feedback

All without any change, the connection will be closed because of missing heartbeat.


Can you please tell me what I have to send to send a valid heartbeat?

Do I have to answer on the Heartbeat send by the server? Or can I send the heartbeart regularly, like I did up to now?

thanks in advance

Yes:

Now that we look more closely at this log the problem is not the heartbeat but the websocket ping:

Do I have to send an additional Websocket ping to the DTC Server?

Yes that is certainly required by the websocket protocol.

Than the heartbeat Type 3 is not necessary for a Websocket connection, only a Websocket ping?

Do you have a documentation on what is required by the DTC Server.

Now I send a ping every 5 seconds.

Now I will be disconnected a bit latest.

Now with the Message the PONG Message is missing.

Hello,


Actually I send every five seconds a ping and a pong and the Type 3 Message and this seams to work.

Up to now it is not nice, but it works for the moment.

Do you have documentation on the WebSocket Communication? PIng and Pong requirement?

thanks

Regarding post #20 you need both. You need the DTC protocol heartbeat message to be sent about every 20 seconds and you need the websocket Ping message according to the websocket specifications which we do not publish.

Hello,

at least for the Trading Messsages the Documentation of Fields is not complete.


Already reported in ThreadID=72591.

The following Fields will be send by the DTC Server in the JSON but they are not defined.


LatestTransactionDateTime  t_DateTime
Username   char
