Configuring Enterprise Platform from Refinitiv Connections

To connect to the Enterprise Platform from Refinitiv™ for the first time or change the authentication type, configure the Reuters^® connection using the RFA Configuration Editor.

Configure a Reuters Connection

Open the RFA Configuration Editor using rmdsconfig.
Load the sample configuration file by selecting File > Import > File. Select the file matlabroot\toolbox\datafeed\datafeed\sampleconfig.xml.
Modify sampleconfig.xml based on site-specific settings obtained from Reuters.
Define a namespace, connection, and session associated with the connection RemoteConnection. Set the key and value fields as shown in the RFA Configuration Editor.
This example adds the session remoteSession with the namespace MyNS to the connection list for the connection RemoteConnection.
To connect without Data Access Control System (DACS) authentication, disable DACS by setting the keys in RemoteConnection to the values as shown in this table.

Key
Value
dacs_CbeEnabled
false
dacs_SbePubEnabled
false
dacs_SbeSubEnabled
false
To run an SSL connection, set the key dacs_GenerateLocks to the value false in RemoteConnection.

Key	Value
`dacs_CbeEnabled`	`false`
`dacs_SbePubEnabled`	`false`
`dacs_SbeSubEnabled`	`false`

Configure an RTIC (TIC-RMDS Edition) Reuters Connection with DACS Authentication

After loading and modifying the sample configuration file, set the keys and value fields as shown in the RFA Configuration Editor for the connection RTICwithDacs.
When you select RVConnection, the RTIC connection depends on the key subscriber fields shown. Set these key and value fields as shown.

The RFA Configuration Editor shows the session remoteRTICSession referencing the RTICConnection.

Configure an RTIC (TIC-RMDS Edition) Reuters Connection Without DACS Authentication

After loading and modifying the sample configuration file, set the key and value fields as shown for RTICConnection.
When you select RVConnection, the RTIC connection depends on the key subscriber fields shown. Set these key and value fields as shown.

The RFA Configuration Editor shows the session remoteRTICSession referencing the RTICConnection.

Troubleshoot the Reuters Configuration Editor

When you use the Reuters Configuration Editor to configure connections on a machine that does not have an XML Parser installed, these errors occur:

java com.reuters.rfa.tools.config.editor.ConfigEditor
org.xml.sax.SAXException: System property 
org.xml.sax.driver not specified
at org.xml.sax.helpers.XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader(Unknown
Source)  
at com.reuters.rfa.tools.config.editor.rfaConfigRuleDB.rfaConfi
gRuleDB.java:56)  
at com.reuters.rfa.tools.config.editor.ConfigEditor.init
(ConfigEditor.java:86)  
at (com.reuters.rfa.tools.config.editor.ConfigEditor.
(ConfigEditor.java:61) at
com.reuters.rfa.tools.config.editor.ConfigEditor.main
(ConfigEditor.java:1303)

To address this issue, download an XML parser file, and include a path to this file in the CLASSPATH environment variable.

This example shows how to set the CLASSPATH environment variable to include the XML parser file C:\xerces.jar (available at https://xerces.apache.org/xerces-j/index.html):

set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;...
		matlabroot\toolbox\datafeed\datafeed\config_editor.jar;...
		c:\xerces.jar

If these messages or similar messages appear in the Command Window when you establish a connection with DACS authentication:
```
SEVERE: com.reuters.rfa.entitlements._Default.Global
DACS initialization failed: 
com.reuters.rfa.dacs.AuthorizationException:
Cannot start the DACS Library thread due to - 
Cannot locate JNI library - RFADacsLib
```
then add an entry to the $MATLAB/toolbox/local/librarypath.txt file that points to the folder containing these files:
- FDacsLib.dll
- sass3j.dll
- sipc32.dll
