Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 About this Manual
This manual describes how the Reuters Domain Models (RDM) are defined in terms of the Open Message Model (OMM).
Data conforming to RDM is available via Thomson Reuters Enterprise Platform (TREP), EleKtron, and Reuters Data Feed
Direct (RDFD) using the Transport API.
1.2 Audience
This guide is written for software developers who are familiar with the Transport API and want to develop Transport API-based
applications to access RDM-formatted data. Before reading this manual:
•Users should be familiar with OMM concepts and types.
•It may be useful to read the Transport API Java Edition Developers Guide and be familiar with the example applications
provided in the Transport API package.
1.3 Open Message Model (OMM)
The OMM is a collection of message header and data constructs. Some OMM message header constructs, such as the
Update message, have implicit market logic associated with them while others, such as the Generic message, allow for free-
flowing bi-directional messaging. OMM data constructs can be combined in various ways to model data that ranges from
simple (or flat) primitive types to complex multiple-level hierarchal data.
The layout and interpretation of any specific OMM model, also referred to as a domain model, is described within that model’s
definition and is not coupled with the API. The OMM is the flexible tool that simply provides the building blocks to design and
produce domain models to meet the needs of the system and its users. The Transport API provides structural representations
of the OMM constructs and manages the RWF binary-encoded representation of the OMM. Transport API users can leverage
the provided OMM constructs to consume or provide OMM data throughout their TREP.
1.4 Reuters Wire Format (RWF)
Reuters Wire Format (RWF) is the encoded representation of OMM. RWF is a highly-optimized, binary format designed to
reduce the cost of data distribution as compared to previous wire formats. Binary encoding represents data in the machine’s
native manner, enabling further use in calculations or data manipulations. RWF allows for serializing OMM message and data
constructs in an efficient manner while still allowing rich content types. RWF can distribute field identifier-value pair data, self-
describing data, as well as more complex, nested hierarchal content.

1.7 Conventions
1.7.1 Typographic
The Transport API uses the following typographical conventions:
• The Reuters Domain Models (RDMs) are described in terms of OMM concepts. Images and XML example layouts are
provided as a reference in relevant sections.
• In-line Classes, methods, and types are shown in orange, Lucida Console font.
• Parameters, filenames, and directories are shown in Bold font.
• Document titles and variable values are shown in italics.
• When included in the body of the text, new concepts are called out in Bold, Italics the first time they are mentioned.
• Verbose code examples (one or more lines of code) are shown in Lucida Console font against an orange background.
Comments in such code samples are formatted in green coloring. For example:
/* decode contents into the filter list object */
if ((retVal = filterList.decode(decIter)) >= CodecReturnCodes.SUCCESS)
{
/* create single filter entry and reuse while decoding each entry */
FilterEntry filterEntry = CodecFactory.createFilterEntry();

1.7.2 General Transport API Syntax
The Transport API uses the following general API syntax conventions:
• Dot-separated notation indicates data available within a hierarchy. Each period can indicate a Class (e.g.,
RefreshMsg.msgKey), a data member (e.g., msgKey.name), an entry (e.g., RefreshMsg.Payload.DirectoryInfo,
where DirectoryInfo refers to the DirectoryInfo filter entry), or an element name (e.g.,
UpdateMsg.Payload.DirectoryInfo.name where name refers to the name element).
•streamId values are assigned by the application and used across all domain models. Consumer applications assign
positive streamId values when requesting content and interactive provider applications respond using the same
streamId. Non-interactive provider applications assign negative streamId values.
•Payload generically refers to the message payload. On any Msg, the payload is housed in the encodedDataBody
buffer and follows the formatting rules of that message’s containerType.
• Integer constants are defined in all capital letters with underscores (e.g., DomainTypes.MARKET_PRICE,
Directory.ServiceFilterIds.INFO). In the Transport API, they can be found in the com.thomsonreuters.upa.rdm
package.
• The names of Transport API FilterEntry.id values (e.g. Directory.ServiceFilterIds.INFO) correspond to the flag
value enumeration defined for use with the message key’s filter (e.g., Directory.ServiceFilterFlags.INFO). Names
may be shortened for clarity (e.g., ServiceInfo).
•
1.7.3 Definitions and Standard Behaviors
This Transport API manual uses the following terms and the API illustrates the following default behavior:
•Not Used means the attribute is not extensible; the Transport API may pass-on the information, however there is no
guarantee that the data will be passed through the network now or in the future. Use of a “Not Used” attribute may
cause problems when interacting with some components.
•Required means the data must be provided or set.
•Conditional means date might be required depending on a particular scenario or context. Refer to the description for
specific details.
•Optional means the data may be provided or set, but is not required. This data should be handled and understood by
all applications, even if not including it. When present, this information should be passed through the network.
• If data is not present, the Transport API assumes the default value.
• Generic message use is not supported within existing, defined Reuters Domain Models, except when explicitly
defined.
• Posting is assumed to be supported within currently-defined Reuters Domain Models, except when otherwise
indicated. Posting is not supported on Source Directory and Dictionary domains. Posting within the Login domain must
follow off-stream posting rules and target a domain other than Login. Posting on any other allowed domains must
follow on-stream posting rules and target that specific domain. For further details about posting, refer to the Transport
API Java Edition Developers Guide.

Chapter 2 Domain Model Overview
2.1 What is a Domain Message Model?
A Domain Message Model (DMM) describes a specific arrangement of OMM message and data constructs. A domain
message model will define any specialized behaviors associated with the domain or any specific meaning or semantics
associated with data contained in the message. Unless a domain model specifies otherwise, any implicit market logic
associated with a message still applies (e.g. an Update message indicates that any previously-received data also contained in
the Update message is being modified).
2.2 Reuters Domain Models (RDMs) Vs User-Defined Models
2.2.1 Reuters Domain Models (RDMs)
An RDM is a domain message model typically provided or consumed by a Thomson Reuters product, such as the TREP, Data
Feed Direct, or Elektron. Some currently-defined RDMs allow for authenticating to a provider (e.g. Login), exchanging field or
enumeration dictionaries (e.g. Dictionary), and providing or consuming various types of market data (e.g. Market Price, Market
by Order, Market by Price). Thomson Reuters’s defined models have a domain value of less than 128.
The following table provides a high-level overview of the currently-available RDMs. The following chapters provide more
detailed descriptions for each of these.
DOMAIN PURPOSE
Login Authenticates users and advertise/request features that are not specific to a particular domain.
Use of and support for this domain is required for all OMM applications.
This is considered an administrative domain, content is required and expected by many
Thomson Reuters components and conformance to the domain model definition is expected.
For further details refer to Chapter 3, Login Domain.
Source Directory Advertises information about available services and their state, QoS, and capabilities. This
domain also conveys any group status and group merge information.
Interactive and Non-Interactive OMM provider applications require support for this domain.
Thomson Reuters strongly recommends that OMM Consumers request this domain.
This is considered an administrative domain, and many Thomson Reuters components expect
and require content to conform to the domain model definition.
For further details, refer to Chapter 4, Source Directory Domain.
Dictionary Provides dictionaries that may be needed when decoding data. Though use of the Dictionary
domain is optional, Thomson Reuters recommends that provider applications support the
domain’s use.
Considered an administrative domain, content is required and expected by many Thomson
Reuters components and following the domain model definition is expected.
For further details refer to Chapter 5, Dictionary Domain.

ETAJ330UMRDM.190
2.2.2 User-Defined Domain Model
A User Defined Domain Model is a domain message model defined by a party other than Thomson Reuters. These may be
defined to solve a specific user or system need in a particular deployment which is not resolvable through the use of an RDM.
Any user-defined model must use a domain value between 128 and 255. If needed, domain model designers can work with
Thomson Reuters to define their models as standard RDMs. This allows for the most seamless interoperability with future
RDM definitions and with other Thomson Reuters products.
2.2.3 Domain Message Model Creation
This document discusses defined RDMs capable of flowing through the Transport API. Transport API users can leverage
OMM to create their own Domain Message Models (DMMs) in addition to those described in this document. When defining a
DMM, consider the following questions / points:
•Is a new DMM really needed, or can you express the data in terms of an existing RDM?
•The DMM should be well-defined. Following the design templates used in this document is a good approach. The
structure, properties, use cases, and limitations of the DMM should be specified.
Market Price Provides access to Level I market information such as trades, indicative quotes and top of
book quotes. Content includes information such as volume, bid, ask, net change, last price,
high, and low.
For further details refer to Chapter 6, Market Price Domain.
Market By Order Provides access to Level II full order books. Contains a list of orders (keyed by the order IDs)
with related information such as price, whether it is a bid/ask order, size, quote time, and
market maker identifier.
For further details refer to Chapter 7, Market By Order Domain.
Market By Price Provides access to Level II market depth information. Contains a list of price points (keyed by
that price and the bid/ask side) with related information.
For further details refer to Chapter 8, Market By Price Domain.
Market Maker Provides access to market maker quotes and trade information. Contains a list of market
makers (keyed by that market maker’s ID) with related information such as that market maker’s
bid and asking prices, quote time, and market source.
For further details refer to Chapter 9, Market Maker Domain.
Yield Curve Provides access to yield curve information. This can contain input information used to calculate
a yield curve along with output information (which is the curve itself). A yield curve shows the
relation between the interest rate and the term associated with the debt of a borrower. The
curve’s shape can help to give an idea of future economic activity and interest rates.
For further details refer to Chapter 10, Yield Curve Domain.
Symbol List Provides access to a set of symbol names, typically from an index, service, or cache. Minimally
contains symbol names and can optionally contain additional cross-reference information such
as permission information, name type, or other venue-specific content.
For further details refer to Chapter 11, Symbol List Domain.

•While OMM provides building blocks that can structure data in many ways, the semantics of said data must abide by the
rules of OMM. For example, custom DMMs should follow the request, refresh, status, and update semantics implicitly
defined by those messages. If more flexible messaging is desired within a custom DMM, it can be accomplished through
the use of a generic message, which allows for more free-form bidirectional messaging after a stream is established.
•domainType values less than 128 are reserved for RDMs. The domainType of a custom DMM must be between 128 and
255.
•You might want to work with Thomson Reuters to define a published RDM, rather than use a custom DMM. This ensures
the most seamless interoperability with future RDMs and other Thomson Reuters products.

2.4 OMM Consumer / OMM Interactive Provider Initial Interaction
An OMM consumer application can establish connections to other OMM interactive provider applications, including TREP,
Data Feed Direct, and Elektron. This interaction first requires an exchange of login messages between the consumer and
provider, where the provider can either accept or reject the consumer. If the consumer is allowed to log in, it may then request
the list of services available from the provider. Optionally1, the consumer can request any dictionaries it needs to decode data
from the provider. After this process successfully completes, the consumer application can begin requesting from non-
administrative domains, which provide other content (e.g. Market Price, Market By Order).
Figure 1. OMM Consumer and Interactive Provider Initial Interactions
1. Instead of downloading any needed dictionaries, the application can load them from a local file.

ETAJ330UMRDM.190
2.5 OMM Non-Interactive Provider Initial Interaction
An OMM non-interactive provider application can establish a connection to an Advanced Data Hub (ADH). After successfully
connecting, an OMM non-interactive provider can publish information into the ADH’s cache, without needing to handle
requests for the information. This interaction first requires a login message exchange between the non-interactive provider and
the ADH, where the ADH can either accept or reject the non-interactive provider. If the non-interactive provider logs in, it
should push out its service information. After this process successfully completes, the non-interactive provider application can
begin publishing content on other non-administrative domains (e.g. Market Price, Market By Order).

ETAJ330UMRDM.190
2.6 Sending and Receiving Content
Use of non-administrative domains generally follows a specific sequence:
•The consumer sends an RequestMsg containing the name of an item it is interested in.
•The provider first responds with an RefreshMsg to bring the consumer up to date with all currently available information.
•As data changes, the provider sends UpdateMsg (if the consumer requested streaming information).
•When the consumer is no longer interested, it sends an CloseMsg to close the stream (or, if the provider needs to close the
stream, it uses an StatusMsg).

ETAJ330UMRDM.190
2.7 General Transport API Concepts
Many domains share a set of common behaviors for handling data. If a specific behavior is not supported on a domain, this
should be specified in that domains detailed description. This section briefly defines these concepts; the Transport API Java
Edition Developers Guide describes them in greater detail.
2.7.1 Snapshot and Streaming Requests
Many domains generally support issuing a request message with or without setting the RequestMsgFlags.STREAMING flag.
When the flag is set, the request is known as a “streaming” request, meaning that the refresh will be followed by updates.
When a snapshot request is made, the refresh should have a streamState of StreamStates.NON_STREAMING. When the
final part of the refresh is received, the stream is considered closed (the final refresh is indicated by the
RefreshMsgFlags.REFRESH_COMPLETE flag on the RefreshMsg). The consumer should be prepared to receive status
messages or update messages between the first and final parts of the refresh (if the domain supplies only single part refresh
messages, like Market Price, no updates would be delivered on the stream).
A provider may also set the streamState to StreamStates.NON_STREAMING if it does not allow streaming of the requested
item.
2.7.2 Multi-Part Messages
Many domains support splitting the content of a large RefreshMsg into multiple, smaller refresh messages. Each part is a
continuation of data from the previous parts, and the final part is denoted by including the
RefreshMsgFlags.REFRESH_COMPLETE flag.
When possible, the provider should indicate the expected number of total container entries across all parts of the refresh. This
is set using the totalCountHint parameter available on some containers (such as Map).
Though the Transport API Transport Package can fragment large messages on the users behalf, Thomson Reuters
recommends that the application fragment large messages whenever possible. The application knows best how data should
be split, and this allows consuming applications to receive and process parts of the message without needing to wait for all
parts to be delivered.
In addition to RefreshMsg, PostMsg and GenericMsg also have multi-part support. For more information, see the Transport
API Java Edition Developers Guide.
2.7.3 Reissue Requests and Pause/Resume
A consumer application can request a new refresh and change certain parameters on an already requested stream. To do so,
the application sends a subsequent RequestMsg on the same stream. This is known as a reissue.
A reissue changes the priority of a stream and pauses or resumes data flow.
• To pause streaming data, the application can send a reissue with the RequestMsgFlags.PAUSE flag. Issuing a pause
on the Login stream is interpreted as a Pause All request, resulting in all streams being paused.
• To resume data flow on the stream, the application can send a subsequent reissue with the
RequestMsgFlags.STREAMING flag. Issuing a resume on the Login stream is interpreted as a Resume All.
Pause and Resume is provided as a best effort, and data may continue streaming even after a pause has been issued.
For further details on reissue requests, changeable parameters, and Pause and Resume functionality, refer to the Transport
API Java Edition Developers Guide.

Transport API 3.3.x Java Edition – RDM Usage Guide 12
ETAJ330UMRDM.190
2.7.4 Rippling Fields
The FieldList container supports the rippling of fields. When rippling, newly received content associated with a fieldId
replaces previously received content associated with the same fieldId. The previously received content is moved to a new
fieldId, which is typically indicated in a field dictionary. In the RDMFieldDictionary, the ‘RIPPLES TO’ column defines
fieldId information used when rippling (for details, refer to Section 5.5.1 and Section 5.5.2). Rippling typically reduces
bandwidth consumption. Because previously received information is still relevant, it would normally need to be sent with
subsequent updates even though the value does not change. The use of rippling allows this information to be optimized out of
subsequent updates; however it relies on the consumer to use ripple information from a field dictionary to correctly propagate
the previously received content.
2.7.5 Dynamic View
A dynamic view allows a consumer application to specify a subset of data content in which it is interested. A providing
application can choose to supply only this requested subset of content across all response messages. This filtering results in
reduced data flow across the connection. View use can be leveraged across all non-administrative domain model types, where
specific usage and support should be indicated in the model definition. The provider indicates its support for view requesting
via the supportViewRequests Login attribute, as described in Section 3.3.1. For more information on dynamic views, refer to
the Transport API Java Edition Developers Guide.
2.7.6 Batch Request
A batch request allows a consumer application to indicate interest in multiple like-item streams with a single RequestMsg. A
providing application should respond by providing a status on the batch request stream itself and with new individual item
streams for each item requested in the batch. Batch requesting can be leveraged across all non-administrative domain model
types. The provider indicates its support for batch requests via the supportBatchRequests Login attribute, as described in
Section 3.3.1. For more information on batch requests, refer to the Transport API Java Edition Developers Guide.
2.7.7 Posting
Posting offers an easy way for an OMM consumer application to publish content to upstream components which can then
provide the information. This can be done off-stream using the Login domain or on-stream using any other non-administrative
domain. Use PostMsg to post content to the system. A PostMsg can contain any OMM container type as its payload (but this is
often a Msg). A provider indicates support for posting via the supportOMMPost Login attribute, as described in Section 3.3.1.
For more information on posting, refer to the Transport API Java Edition Developers Guide.
Note: The consumer application is responsible for rippling and the Transport API does not perform entry rippling.
Warning! The application should not perform rippling if the updateType of the UpdateMsg is
UpdateEventTypes.CORRECTION.

Chapter 3 Login Domain
3.1 Description
The Login domain registers a user with the system, after which the user can request1, post2, or provide3 RDM content. A
Login request can also be used to authenticate a user with the system.
•A consumer application must log into the system before it can request or post content.
•A non-interactive provider application must log into the system before providing any content. An interactive provider
application is required to handle log in requests and provide Login response messages, possibly using DACS to
authenticate users.
For further details:
•Section 3.2 details the use of each message within the Login domain.
•Section 3.3 presents the message payloads.
•Section 3.4 includes a brief summary of login handling and authentication.
•Section 3.5 includes example layouts of login messages.
1. Consumer applications can request content after logging into the system.
2. Consumer applications can post content, which is similar to contribution or unmanaged publication, after logging into the system.
3. Non-interactive provider applications.

ETAJ330UMRDM.190
3.2 Usage
3.2.1 Login Request Message
A Login request message is encoded and sent by OMM consumer and OMM non-interactive provider applications. This
message registers a user with the system. After receiving a successful login response, applications can then begin consuming
or providing additional content. An OMM provider can use the Login request information to authenticate users with DACS.
An initial Login request must be streaming (i.e., a RequestMsgFlags.STREAMING flag is required). After the initial Login
stream is established, subsequent Login requests using the same streamId can be sent to obtain additional refresh
messages, pause the stream, or resume the stream. If a login stream is paused, this is interpreted as a ‘Pause All’ request
which indicates that all item streams associated with the user should be paused. A login stream is paused by specifying
RequestMsgFlags.PAUSE without the streaming flag. To resume data flow on all item streams (also known as a Resume All),
the streaming flag must be sent again. For more information, refer to the Transport API Java Edition Developers Guide.
For an example layout of this message, refer to Section 3.4.4.

Login.UserIdTypes.TOKEN is specified when using the AAA API The user token is retrieved
from a AAA API gateway and then passed through the system via the msgKey.name. To
validate users, a provider can pass this user token to an authentication manager application.
If you specify Login.UserIdTypes.USER_AUTHN_TOKEN, you must also set msgKey.name to
a single, null character (i.e., a 0x00 binary), and include an AuthenticationToken element in
the msgKey.attrib. For details on the AuthenticationToken, refer to Section 3.2.2.
Both Login.UserIdTypes.TOKEN and Login.UserIdTypes.USER_AUTHN_TOKEN can
periodically change: when it changes, an application can send a login reissue to pass

3.2.3 Login Refresh Message
A Login refresh message is encoded and sent by OMM interactive provider applications. This message is used to respond to a
Login Request message after the user’s Login is accepted. An OMM provider can use the Login request information to
authenticate users with DACS. After authentication, a refresh message is sent to convey that the login was accepted. If the
login is rejected, a Login status message should be sent as described in Section 3.2.5.
The content of a Login Refresh message is expected to be atomic and contained in a single part, therefore
RefreshMsgFlags.REFRESH_COMPLETE should be set to true. If the login refresh is sent in response to a request, the
RefreshMsgFlags.SOLICITED flag should be set to true to indicate that this is a solicited response.

components. The attribContainerType is an ElementList, which can contain any of the following predefined elements
(none of which are required):
ELEMENT NAME DATA TYPE
ENUMERATION RANGE/EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
AllowSuspectData DataTypes.UINT 0 | 1 Sets whether the provider application passes
along suspect streamState information.
•1: The provider application passes along
suspect streamState information. 1 is the
default setting.
•0: The provider application does not pass
along suspect data.
Any suspect stream will be closed with an
StreamStates.CLOSED_RECOVER state.
For more information, refer to Section 3.4.4.
ApplicationId DataTypes.ASCII_STRING 1 - 65535
e.g., 256
Specifies the DACS application ID. If the
server authenticates with DACS, the
consumer application may be required to pass
in a valid ApplicationId. This should match
whatever was sent in the request. This must
be unique for each application. IDs from 1 to
256 are reserved for permanent market data
applications. Thomson Reuters assigns these
and they are uniform across all client systems.
IDs from 257 to 65535 are available for site-
specific use.
ApplicationName DataTypes.ASCII_STRING name of application
e.g., Transport API
If connecting to
ADS, use ADS

3.2.5 Login Status Message
OMM provider and OMM non-interactive provider applications use the Login status message to convey state information
associated with the login stream. Such state information can indicate that a login stream cannot be established or to inform a
consumer of a state change associated with an open login stream.
The Login status message can also be used to reject a login request or close an existing login stream. When a login stream is
closed via a status, any other open streams associated with the user are also closed as a result.

ETAJ330UMRDM.190
3.2.8 Login Close Message
A Login close message is encoded and sent by OMM consumer applications. This message allows a consumer to log out of
the system. Closing a login stream is equivalent to a ‘Close All’ type of message, where all open streams are closed (thus all
other streams associated with the user are closed). A provider can log off a user and close all of that user’s streams via a
Login Status message (for details, refer to Section 3.2.5).
3.2.9 Login Generic Message Use
A Login generic message is encoded and sent by OMM consumer applications. This message informs an interactive provider
of its role in a Warm Standby group (either as an Active or Standby provider). When Active, a provider behaves normally.
However, if a provider is Standby, it responds to requests only with a message header (intended to allow a consumer
application to confirm the availability of their requested data across active and standby servers), and forwards any state-
related messages (i.e., unsolicited refresh messages, status messages). While in Standby mode, a provider should aggregate
changes to item streams whenever possible. If the provider is changed from Standby to Active via this message, all
aggregated update messages are passed along. When aggregation is not possible, a full, unsolicited refresh message is
passed along.
The consumer application is responsible for ensuring that items are available and equivalent across all providers in a warm
standby group. This includes managing state and availability differences as well as item group differences.
Content for a Login Generic message is expected to be atomic and contained in a single part, therefore
GenericMsgFlags.MESSAGE_COMPLETE should be present in the Generic message’s flags.

3.2.10 Login Post Message
OMM consumer applications can encode and send data for any item via Post messages on the item’s Login stream. This is
known as off-stream posting because items are posted without using that item’s dedicated stream. Posting an item on its
own dedicated stream is referred to as on-stream posting.
When an application is posting off-stream, the PostMsg requires msgKey information. For more details on posting, refer to the
Transport API Java Edition Developers Guide.
3.2.11 Login Ack Message
OMM provider applications encode and send acknowledgment messages (AckMsg) to acknowledge the receipt of Post
messages. This message is used whenever a consumer posts and asks for acknowledgments. For more details on posting,
see the Transport API Java Edition Developers Guide.

3.3 Data
3.3.1 Login Refresh Message Payload
When a Login request message asks for connection configuration information (i.e., DownloadConnectionConfig = 1), a
provider capable of supplying these details should respond with extended connection information in the RefreshMsg payload.
This information can be useful for load balancing connections across multiple providers or ADS components. Load balancing
can be set up in a manner where some well-known providers act solely as load-balancing servers, monitoring the load and
state of other providers and directing consumers to less-loaded providers to handle the information exchange.
The extended connection information contains a list of other providers, along with connection and load-related information,
and is formatted as a sorted Vector type, where each VectorEntry contains an ElementList. Each vector entry contains
data specific to one provider. The summary data (an ElementList) contains information about the number of standby
providers to which the consumer should connect. If this value is non-zero, the consumer is expected to support Warm Standby
functionality and connect to multiple providers.
The list should be sorted in order of best to worst choice.
Figure 4. Login Refresh Message Payload
Chapter 3 Login Domain
Transport API 3.3.x Java Edition – Developers Guide 31
ETAJ330UMRDM.190
When the payload is present, the summary data ElementList must contain the following element (which has no default):
Each VectorEntry contains an ElementList, each list describing a single provider. Possible elements in this list are as
follows, with any default behavior included in the description:
NAME TYPE RANGE/EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
NumStandbyServers DataTypes.UINT 0 - 0xFFFFFFFF
value Specifies the number of standby servers to
which the client can connect.
If set to 0, only one provider is connected,
which serves as the primary connection (i.e.,
warm standby should not be attempted).
Table 11: Login Refresh.Payload Vector.SummaryData’s ElementList Contents
NAME TYPE RANGE/EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
Hostname DataTypes.ASCII_STRING “myHostName”
“192.168.1.100”
Conditional. Specifies the candidate
provider’s IP address or hostname. Hostname
is required when a payload is present.
Port DataTypes.UINT 14002 Conditional. Specifies the candidate
provider’s port number. Port is required when
a payload is present.
LoadFactor DataTypes.UINT 0 - 65535 Describes the load of the provider, where 0 is
the least loaded and 65535 is the most
loaded. The Vector is expected to be sorted,
so a consumer need not traverse the list to
find the least loaded; the first VectorEntry
should contain an ElementList describing
the least-loaded provider.
LoadFactor defaults to 65535.
ServerType DataTypes.UINT 0 | 1 When using a warm standby setup,
ServerType specifies the provider’s expected
behavior:
•0: This provider should be the Active
server.
•1: This provider should be the Standby
server. 1 is the default setting.
SystemID DataTypes.ASCII_STRING For future use.

3.4 Special Semantics
3.4.1 Authentication and Login Handling
Whether or not a user is authenticated depends on how the provider is implemented. However, providers are required to
respond to Login Request Messages in the following manner:
• If the Login is accepted, the provider should send a Refresh message with streamState = StreamStates.OPEN,
dataState = DataStates.OK, and stateCode = StateCodes.NONE.
• A login request can be rejected or closed by sending a Status message with streamState = StreamStates.CLOSED
(or StreamStates.CLOSED_RECOVER if the user is allowed to attempt another login), dataState =
DataStates.SUSPECT, and a stateCode that best describes the reason for the stream closure.
• If the provider closes the login stream, all other streams related to that login are implicitly closed without sending any
item status messages to the consumer.
• If the consumer application closes the login stream using a close message, all streams related to that login are
automatically closed without sending any item close messages to the provider.
• If a login stream is not open or was closed by either the consumer or the provider, the consumer must open a new
Login stream before sending any other request messages. If the consumer application attempts to request data
without an open Login stream, it will receive a status message indicating failure.
•
3.4.2 Negotiating msgKey.attrib Parameters
Several ReqMsg.MsgKey.Attrib parameters indicate how the provider should handle a connection including:
ProvidePermissionProfile, ProvidePermissionExpressions, SingleOpen, AllowSuspectData, InstanceId, and Role. If
the provider cannot support a specified value, it can change the value in the RespMsg.MsgKey.Attrib’s ElementList in its
response to the consumer.
If the RespMsg.MsgKey.Attrib includes an ElementList, then the Elements should be checked to verify that the parameters
have been accepted. If a request parameters differs from the response parameter, the consumer must support the parameters
that the server provided in the RespMsg.
3.4.3 Group and Service Status
Group and service status messages do not apply to the Login domain.
Note: The consumer must support all parameters specified by the provider in its Login response.
Chapter 3 Login Domain
Transport API 3.3.x Java Edition – Developers Guide 34
ETAJ330UMRDM.190
3.4.4 Single Open and Allow Suspect Data Behavior
The SingleOpen and AllowSuspectData Elements that are passed via the ReqMsg.MsgKey.Attrib can effect how state
information is processed. When the provider indicates support for SingleOpen behavior, the provider should drive the recovery
of item streams. If no provider support is indicated, the consumer should drive any recovery.
The following table shows how a provider can convert messages to honor the consumer’s SingleOpen and
AllowSuspectData settings. The first column in the table shows the provider’s actual streamState and dataState. Each
subsequent column shows how this state information can be modified to follow that column’s specific SingleOpen and
AllowSuspectData settings. If any SingleOpen and AllowSuspectData configuration causes a contradiction in behavior
(e.g., SingleOpen indicates that the provider should handle recovery, but AllowSuspectData indicates that the consumer
does not want to receive suspect status), SingleOpen behavior takes precedence.
The following table uses the abbreviations:
• SS for streamState
•DS for dataState
Note: The Transport API does not perform any special processing based on the SingleOpen and AllowSuspectData settings.
The provider application must perform any necessary conversion.
If AcceptingRequests is FALSE, new requests should not be made to a provider application, regardless of ServiceState.
However, even if AcceptingRequests is FALSE, reissue requests can still be made for any item streams that are currently
open to the provider.

Chapter 4 Source Directory Domain
4.1 Description
The Source Directory domain model conveys:
•Information about all available services and their capabilities. This includes information about domain types supported
within a service, the service’s state, the QoS, and any item group information associated with the service. Each service is
associated with a unique serviceId. When requesting or responding to information associated with a specific service, the
serviceId is specified in the msgKey.
•Status information associated with item groups. This allows a single message to change the state of all associated items,
avoiding the need to send a status message for each individual item. The consumer is responsible for applying any
changes to its open items. For details, refer to Section 4.3.1.2 and Section 4.3.1.3.
•Source Mirroring information between an ADH and OMM interactive provider applications exchanged via a specifically-
formatted generic message as described in Section 4.2.5.

4.2 Usage
4.2.1 Source Directory Request Message
A Directory request message is encoded and sent by OMM consumer applications. A consumer can request information about
all services by omitting serviceId information, or specify a serviceId to request information about only that service. Because
the Source Directory domain uses a FilterList, a consumer can indicate the specific source related information in which it is
interested via a msgKey.filter. Each bit-value represented in the filter corresponds to an information set that can be provided
in response messages. A consumer can change the requested filter via a reissue. For more details about the FilterList
type, refer to the Transport API Java Edition Developers Guide.
Thomson Reuters recommends that a consumer application minimally request Info, State, and Group filters for the Source
Directory:
• The Info filter contains the ServiceName and serviceId data for all available services. When an appropriate service is
discovered by the OMM Consumer, the serviceId associated with the service is used on subsequent requests to that
service.
• The State filter contains status data for the service. Status data informs the Consumer whether the service is up (and
available) or down (and unavailable).
• The Group filter conveys any item group status information, including group states and as regards the merging of
groups if applicable.
Note: If an application does not subscribe to the Source Directory’s group filter, it will not receive group status messages. This
can result in potentially incorrect item state information, as relevant status information may be missed.

4.2.5 Source Directory Generic Message
A Source Directory Generic message is encoded and sent by an ADH when using a ‘hot standby’ configuration. When running
in hot standby mode, the ADH can leverage source mirroring and use a generic message to convey usage information to
upstream providers. A generic message can inform providers whether the ADH is an active server without a standby
(ActiveNoStandby), an active server with a standby (ActiveWithStandby) or a standby provider (Standby). This message is
mainly for informational purposes, and allows a provider to better understand their role in a hot standby environment (the
provider does not require a return action or acknowledgment).
A provider indicates each service’s ability to process this message via the AcceptingConsumerStatus element in its Source
Directory responses (refer to Section 4.3.1.1).

ETAJ330UMRDM.190
4.3.1.1 Source Directory Info Filter Entry
The Info filter entry (Directory.ServiceFilterFlags.INFO, Directory.ServiceFilterIds.INFO) conveys information that
identifies a service and the content it can provide. This includes information about provided domain types (e.g., Market Price,
Market By Order), available QoS, and the names of any dictionaries required to parse the published content.
The Info FilterEntry should be present when a service is first added, and should not be changed as long as the service
remains in the list.
If a FilterEntry element uses a default value, it is included in the element’s description.
Directory.ServiceFilterIds.LINK = 6
(Directory.ServiceFilterFlags.LINK = 0x20)
DataTypes.MAP Provides information about individual upstream
sources that provide data for this service. This is
primarily used by systems that aggregate sources
(such as the ADH) for identification and load
balancing, and is not required to be processed by
a consumer application.
Refer to Section 4.3.1.6.
Directory.ServiceFilterIds.SEQ_MCAST = 7
(Directory.ServiceFilterFlags.SEQ_MCAST = 0x40)
DataTypes.ELEMENT_LIST Provides information about the EDF (Elektron
Direct Feed) and EDF connection information.
For further information, refer to the Elektron Direct
Feed Development Guide.
Note: The ADH does not track services that are brought down. If you bring up a service after having brought it down, you must
again include the Info filter entry.
ELEMENT NAME TYPE RANGE/

Capabilities DataTypes.ARRAY of
DataTypes.UINT
e.g., [5, 6] Required. Lists the domains which this service can
provide.
For example, a list containing
DomainTypes.DICTIONARY (5) and
DomainTypes.MARKET_PRICE (6) indicates a
consumer can request dictionaries and Market Price
data from this service. Set Array.itemLength to 1,
as each domainType uses only one byte.
DictionariesProvided DataTypes.ARRAY of
DataTypes.ASCII_STRING
e.g., RWFFld Lists the Dictionary names that this service can
provide. A consumer can obtain these dictionaries by
requesting them by name on the
DomainTypes.DICTIONARY domain.
For details, refer to Chapter 5, Dictionary Domain.
DictionariesUsed DataTypes.ARRAY of
DataTypes.ASCII_STRING
e.g., RWFFld,
RWFEnum
Conditional. Lists the Dictionary names that might be
required to fully process data from this service.
Whether or not the dictionary is required depends on
the consumer’s needs. For example: if the consumer is
not a display application, it might not need an
Enumerated Types Dictionary.
For details, refer to Chapter 5, Dictionary Domain.
QoS DataTypes.ARRAY of
DataTypes.QOS
e.g., Realtime, Tick-
By-Tick
Specifies the available Qualities of Service (QoS).
• If the data comes from one source, there will
usually be only one QoS.
• If there are multiple sources, more than one QoS
may be available.
The default QoS is Realtime, Tick-By-Tick. Thus. if a
QoS is not provided, or if the Transport API receives a
QoS value of Unspecified, the Transport API assumes
the service provides a QoS of Realtime, Tick-By-Tick.
For more information about QoS use and handling,
refer to the Transport API Java Edition Developers
Guide.
SupportsQoSRange DataTypes.UINT 0 | 1 Indicates whether the provider supports a QoS range
when requesting an item.
If supported, a consumer can indicate an acceptable
range via the qos and worstQos members of an
RequestMsg.
•0: The provider does not support QoS range
requests. This is the default behavior.
•1: The provider supports QoS range requests.
ItemList DataTypes.ASCII_STRING Specifies the name of a SymbolList (i.e., a specific item
requested to get the names of all items available for
this service). The consumer requests this item via the
DomainTypes.SYMBOL_LIST domain (See Chapter
11, Symbol List Domain).

4.3.1.2 Source Directory State Filter Entry
The State filter entry (Directory.ServiceFilterFlags.STATE, Directory.ServiceFilterIds.STATE) conveys information about
the current state of a service. This information usually has some bearing on the availability of data from a service. If a service
becomes temporarily unavailable or becomes available again, consumers are informed via updates to this category.
A State filter entry should be present in the initial refresh, and then updated whenever needed.
The Status element can change the state of items provided by this service. Prior to changing a service status, Thomson
Reuters recommends that you issue item or group status messages to update item states. For example, before bringing down
a service, a provider application should change the Status element of all items to StreamStates.CLOSED_RECOVER.
Any default behavior is explained in the Element’s description.
Note: The ADH does not track services that are brought down. If you bring up a service after having brought it down, you must
include the Info filter entry (refer to Section 4.3.1.1).
ELEMENT NAME TYPE RANGE/EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
ServiceState DataTypes.UINT 0 | 1 Required. Indicates whether the original provider of the data
is available to respond to new requests. If the service is
down, requests for data may be handled by the immediate
upstream provider (to which the consumer is directly
connected). However, because the most current data might
be serviced from a cached copy while the source is down, the
most current data may not be immediately available.
Changes to ServiceState do not affect streams that are
already open.
Available values are:
•0: Service is Down
•1: Service is Up
Refer to Section 4.4.2.
AcceptingRequests DataTypes.UINT 0 | 1 Indicates whether the immediate provider can accept new
requests and/or handle reissue requests on already open
streams. Existing streams remain unaffected, however new
requests may be rejected. AcceptingRequests defaults to
1.
Available values are:
•0: The provider cannot accept new requests on existing
streams.
•1: The provider can accept new requests on existing
streams.
Refer to Section 4.4.2.
Status DataTypes.STATE e.g., [StreamStates.OPEN,
DataStates.OK,
StateCodes.NONE]
Specifies a status change to apply to all items provided by
this service. It is equivalent to sending a StatusMsg for each
item.
The streamState is only allowed to be
StreamStates.OPEN or
StreamStates.CLOSED_RECOVER.
This status only applies to item streams that have received a
refresh or status of OPEN/OK.
Refer to Section 4.4.3.1.

4.3.1.3 Source Directory Group Filter Entry
The Group filter entry (Directory.ServiceFilterFlags.GROUP, Directory.ServiceFilterIds.GROUP) conveys item group
status and item group merge information. Every item stream is associated with an item group as defined by the groupId
provided with the item’s RefreshMsg or StatusMsg. If some kind of change impacts all items within the same group, only a
single group status message need be provided. For more information on item group use and handling, see the Transport API
Java Edition Developers Guide.
If multiple group FilterEntrys are received in a single FilterList, then they should be applied in the order in which they
were received.
Any default behavior is explained in the Element’s description.
ELEMENT NAME TYPE RANGE/EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
Group DataTypes.BUFFER e.g., 1.26.102 Required. Specifies the groupId with which this
information is associated.
This is typically represented as a series of 2-byte unsigned
integers (i.e., two-byte unsigned integers written directly next
to each other in the buffer). The example provided in the
RANGE / EXAMPLE column of this table shows such a
series, with inserted dots to help indicate two-byte value.
When encoded into a buffer, do not include these dots.
MergedToGroup DataTypes.BUFFER e.g., 1.26.110 Changes all items whose group currently matches the
Group element to the specified MergedToGroup.
Note: The consumer should change the groupId of
those items to match this element.
Status DataTypes.STATE e.g., [StreamStates.OPEN,
DataStates.OK,
StateCodes.NONE, ]
A status change to be applied to all items whose groupId
matches the Group element. It is equivalent to sending a
StatusMsg to each item.
• The streamState is only allowed to be
StreamStates.OPEN or
StreamStates.CLOSED_RECOVER.
• If you need to convey group status text or code
information without changing the data state, use the
value DataStates.NO_CHANGE.
• If present in the same message as a MergedToGroup
element, this change should be applied before the
merge.
This change only applies to item streams that have received
a refresh or status with a state of OPEN/OK.

4.3.1.4 Source Directory Load Filter Entry
The Load filter entry (Directory.ServiceFilterFlags.LOAD, Directory.ServiceFilterIds.LOAD) conveys information about the
service’s workload. If multiple services can provide desired data, a consumer can use service workload information to help
decide which to use. None of these elements are required, nor have a default value.
4.3.1.5 Source Directory Data Filter Entry
The Data filter entry (Directory.ServiceFilterFlags.DATA, Directory.ServiceFilterIds.DATA) conveys information that should
be applied to all items associated with the service. This is commonly used for services that provide ANSI Page-based data.
These elements has do not have a default value.
ELEMENT NAME TYPE RANGE/
EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
OpenLimit DataTypes.UINT 0 – 4,294,967,295 Maximum number of streaming items that the client is allowed to
open for this service.
If the service supports out-of-band snapshots, snapshot requests do
not count against this limit (refer to Section 4.3.1.1).
OpenWindow DataTypes.UINT 0 - 4,294,967,295 Maximum number of outstanding requests (i.e., requests for items not
yet open) that the service will allow at any given time.
If OpenWindow is 0, the behavior is the same as setting
AcceptingRequests to 0 and no open item request is accepted.
The provider should not assume that the OpenWindow becomes
effective immediately.
LoadFactor DataTypes.UINT 0-65,535 A number indicating the current workload on the source providing the
data.
This number and the means of its calculation vary based on the
system (i.e., bandwidth usage, CPU usage, number of clients, etc).
The only requirements are that:
•The LoadFactor should be calculated the same way for all
services in a system.
• A more heavily-loaded service should have a higher LoadFactor
than one that is less loaded.

4.3.1.6 Source Directory Link Filter Entry
The Link filter entry (Directory.ServiceFilterFlags.LINK, Directory.ServiceFilterIds.LINK) conveys information about the
upstream sources that provide data to a service.
This information is represented as a Map, where each MapEntry represents one upstream source. The map entry key is the
name associated with the communication link, and is of type DataTypes.ASCII_STRING. This name is scoped globally, and if
multiple sources have the same name, they are assumed to be identical and the aggregating system will balance requests
among them.
An ADH component can leverage this information for failover and hot standby functionality. More detailed information is
available in the ADH documentation. A typical consumer application can treat this entry as mainly informational. The consumer
should use the State FilterEntry to make programmatic decisions about service availability and status.
Any default behavior is explained in the Element’s description.
ELEMENT NAME TYPE RANGE/EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
Type DataTypes.UINT 1 | 2 Indicates whether the upstream source is interactive or
broadcast. This does not describe whether the service itself is
interactive or broadcast.
•1: The upstream source is interactive (this is the default).
•2: The upstream source is a broadcast source.
LinkState DataTypes.UINT 0 | 1 Required. Indicates whether the upstream source is up or
down
•0: The upstream source is down.
•1: The upstream source is up.
LinkCode DataTypes.UINT 0 - 3 Provides additional status information about the upstream
source.
•0: None (this is the default)

4.3.2 Source Directory ConsumerStatus Generic Message Payload
The data structure for the ConsumerStatus message is a Map. Each MapEntry sends status to one service and is uniquely
identified by msgKey.serviceId (its key). Each entry contains an ElementList with one ElementEntry that indicates how the
provider is used. MapEntrys do not use permission data.
4.4 Special Semantics
4.4.1 Multiple Streams
Unlike other MessageModelTypes, two directory streams can be open with identical message key information. It is also
permissible to change an open stream’s filter.
4.4.2 ServiceState and AcceptingRequests
The ServiceState and AcceptingRequests elements in the State filter entry work together to indicate the ability of a
particular service to provide data:
•ServiceState indicates whether the source of the data is accepting requests.
Note: GenericMsg(s) are supported for the DIRECTORY RDM only for sending / receiving information related to
ConsumerStatus/Source Mirroring Mode.
KEY TYPE VALUE TYPE DESCRIPTION
DataTypes.UINT DataTypes.ELEMENT_LIST Required. Represents a service in the Source Directory. Contains an
ElementList with Source Mirroring information for that service.
Table 31: Source Directory GenericMsg MapEntry
ELEMENT NAME TYPE RANGE/EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
SourceMirroringMode DataTypes.UINT 0 - 2 Required. Indicates how the downstream component uses the
service. There is no default setting. SourceMirroringMode
can have any of the following values:
•0: ActiveNoStandby. The downstream device uses the
data from this service, and does not receive it from any
other service.
•1: ActiveWithStandby. The downstream device uses the
data from this service, but also receives it from another
service.
•2: Standby. The downstream device receives data from
this service, but actually uses data from another
service.
A reply from the provider application is not needed
because this is for informational use only.

ETAJ330UMRDM.190
•AcceptingRequests indicates whether the immediate upstream provider (the provider to which the consumer is
directly connected) can accept new requests. If False, new requests are rejected while existing streams remain
unaffected (reissue requests can still be made for any item streams that are currently open to the provider).
The following table applies only to new requests. Changes to the status of current streams should be sent using individual item
status messages or group status messages via the Group filter entry (refer to Section 4.3.1.3).
SERVICESTATE ACCEPTINGREQUESTS MEANING
Up(1)Yes (1) New requests and reissue requests can be successfully processed.
Up(1)No (0) Although the source of data is available, the immediate provider is not
accepting new requests. It may be possible to request from another provider.
However, reissue requests on already open streams can be processed.
Down (0)Yes (1) The source of data is not available. The immediate provider, however, can
accept the request and forward it when the source becomes available.
Down (0)No (0) Neither the source nor the immediate provider is accepting new requests.

Chapter 4 Source Directory Domain
Transport API 3.3.x Java Edition – Developers Guide 57
ETAJ330UMRDM.190
4.4.3 Service and Group Status Values
The Status elements in the State and Group FilterEntries are transient. Their values should be applied to all existing streams.
The values should not be cached and should not affect any new requests.
4.4.3.1 Service Status
Providers can use a directory’s ServiceState.Status element to efficiently change the state of all of a service’s existing
streams with a single message. The ServiceState.Status does not apply to requests that are currently pending a first refresh
or status response message. EMA consumer implementation normally fans out state from the Status Element to all items
associated with the service. When EMA does this, it will not forward this Element to the application. Instead, the application
receives a StatusMsg for each item from the service. The other elements from the ServiceState FilterEntry will still be sent to
the application.
4.4.3.2 Group Status
The Group FilterEntry can be used to efficiently change the state of a large number of items with a single message. The
Group.Status does not apply to requests that are currently pending a first refresh or status response message. EMA
consumer implementation normally fans out group messages to all items associated with the group. When EMA does this, it
will not forward this FilterEntry to the application. Instead, the application will receive a StatusMsg for each item in the group.
4.4.4 Removing a Service
If a provider needs to remove a service from the list of known services, it should send the service’s MapEntry with the action
set to MapEntryActions.DELETE. A consumer should place all open items associated with this service in the
StreamStates.CLOSED_RECOVER.
All services associated with a Source Directory stream are removed if:
• The connection between the provider and consumer is closed or lost
• The provider sends a state of StreamStates.CLOSED or StreamStates.CLOSED_RECOVER on the Source
Directory stream.
• The provider sends a message with the RefreshMsgFlags.CLEAR_CACHE on a RefreshMsg or
StatusMsgFlags.CLEAR_CACHE on a StatusMsg on the Source Directory stream.
4.4.5 Non-existent Services
If no services currently exist or the consumer issued a Source Directory request and specified an unknown serviceId, a
Source Directory refresh should be sent containing an empty Map. The provider can then add services, via Source Directory
updates, as they become available.
Note: Though not best practice, some applications may continue to store service information, even after a service is removed.
If this is the case, the application should advertise the service as Down and not accepting requests.

ETAJ330UMRDM.190
Chapter 5 Dictionary Domain
5.1 Description
OMM can optimize bandwidth usage by reducing or removing the need to constantly communicate well-known information
(e.g., names and data types associated with information in a FieldList). Using these techniques, information is instead
contained in a field dictionary, where the field list contains only fieldId references to information in the dictionary.
A provider application can indicate any dictionaries needed to parse published content. To reconstruct omitted information,
consumer applications reference required dictionaries when decoding. Dictionaries may be available locally (i.e., in a file) or
available for request over the network from an upstream provider.
The following dictionaries provide domain models for network requests:
•Field Dictionary: Stores data referenced by the FieldList. Each fieldId in a FieldEntry corresponds to an entry in
the Field Dictionary, which provides information such as the field’s name (e.g., BID) and data type (e.g., DataTypes.INT).
Additional information (such as rippling fields and expected cache-sizing requirements) are also present.
•Enumerated Types Dictionary: Contains tables defining values for enumerated values of type Enum (DataTypes.ENUM).
Each table indicates the fieldId values of all fields that use the data in the table, as well as the possible enumerated
values. For example, a field indicating the currency of an item will use a table listing enumerations of various currencies. If
a consumer decodes the value of that field (e.g., 840), it can cross reference that value with its copy of the table. The entry
the consumer finds will contain a string that the consumer can print (e.g. USD), and possibly a more meaningful
description as well.
•Global Field Set Definition and Global Element Set Definition: Provides global set definition database information.
These databases contain several set definitions, each of which contains a list of fieldId (for field lists) or Name (for
element lists) and value pairs. These definitions are used with structured data and provide bandwidth savings by not
sending data contained in the set definition on the wire.
The consumer should store the information contained in these dictionaries and may need to refer to them when decoding data.
For assistance, the Transport API provides utility functions for loading, encoding, and decoding the Thomson Reuters Field
Dictionary (RDMFieldDictionary) and Enumerated Types Dictionaries (enumtype.def) (for details, refer to Section 5.12).
Note: GenericMsg(s) are not supported for the Dictionary domain model.
Chapter 5 Dictionary Domain
Transport API 3.3.x Java Edition – Developers Guide 61
ETAJ330UMRDM.190
5.2 Decoding Field List Contents with Field and Enumerated Types Dictionaries
By itself, a FieldEntry contains only the fieldId and its associated encoded value in encodedData. With few exceptions, the
type information is not sent with the data and will appear as DataTypes.UNKNOWN. To decode the value, the application
must cross reference the fieldId with the correct Field Dictionary to determine its type. The FieldList.dictionaryId can
optionally convey the identifier of the associated dictionary.
Figure 6. FieldList Referencing Field Dictionary
The consumer matches the fieldId of the FieldEntry to the information about that FID in the dictionary. This tells the
consumer the type (DataTypes) of the data contained in the FieldEntry. The consumer can now decode the data by calling
the appropriate decode function for that type.
If the field’s type is DataTypes.ENUM, the application expects and looks for a table of values in a corresponding Enumerated
Types Dictionary.
Chapter 5 Dictionary Domain
Transport API 3.3.x Java Edition – Developers Guide 62
ETAJ330UMRDM.190
Figure 7. FieldEntry Referencing an Enumerated Types Table
The consumer, having decoded the enumerated value (e.g., 840), finds the correct table that defines the field and looks up the
enumerated value in that table. The value will have a displayable string associated with it (e.g., USD).
5.3 Usage
5.3.1 Dictionary Request Message
A dictionary request message is encoded and sent by OMM consumer applications. The request indicates the name of the
desired dictionary and how much information from that dictionary is needed.
Though updates are not sent on dictionary streams, Thomson Reuters recommends that the consumer make a streaming
request (setting RequestMsgFlags.STREAMING) so that it is notified whenever the dictionary version changes.

5.4 Payload and Summary Data for the Refresh Message
For example layouts of some dictionary messages, refer to Section 5.11.
The payload varies depending on the type of dictionary being sent. The domain model layout for each type of dictionary is
described in the following sections.
Although the structure varies for each type of dictionary, each uses an ElementList to identify its type, version, and
DictionaryId. If sending the dictionary as a multi-part refresh, this data must be present only in the first part. Any default
behavior is included in the dictionary type’s description.
NAME TYPE RANGE/EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
Version DataTypes.ASCII_STRING “1.1” Required. Specifies the version of
the provided dictionary.
For additional details on dictionary
versions, refer to Section 5.9.3.
Note: The Enumerated Types
dictionaries populate the Version
element using information from
the DT_Version tag.
Type DataTypes.UINT Total range is from 0 to 255, where values 0 - 127 are
reserved and values 28-255 are extensible.
• Dictionary.Types.FIELD_DEFINITIONS == 1
• Dictionary.Types.ENUM_TABLES == 2
• Dictionary.Types.RECORD_TEMPLATES == 3
• Dictionary.Types.DISPLAY_TEMPLATES == 4
• Dictionary.Types.DATA_DEFINITIONS == 5
• Dictionary.Types.STYLE_SHEET == 6
• Dictionary.Types.REFERENCE == 7
Required. Indicates the type of
dictionary contained in the payload.
DictionaryId DataTypes.INT Total range is from -16383 to 16383, where:
• Values 0 to 16383 are reserved by Thomson
Reuters
• The value 1 corresponds to the
RDMFieldDictionary.
• Values -1 to -16383 are Extensible
An ID that can indicates a
relationship between dictionaries.
For example, a Field Dictionary and
EnumeratedTypes Dictionary may
have the same DictionaryId,
indicating that they can be used
together.
DictionaryId defaults to 0.
RT_Version DataTypes.ASCII_STRING “1.1” Optionally sent only with the
enumerated type dictionary.
RT_Version identifies which field
dictionary should be used with this
enumerated type dictionary.
DT_Version DataTypes.ASCII_STRING “1.1” Optionally sent only with the
enumerated type dictionary.
DT_Version conveys the display
template version.

Element entries do not have default values.
NAME TYPE LEAST
VERBOSITY RANGE/EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
NAME DataTypes.ASCII_STRING MINIMAL e.g., “PROD_PERM” Equivalent to the field’s ACRONYM
(i.e., Short Name).
FID DataTypes.INT MINIMAL -32768 to 32767 The field’s fieldId.
RIPPLETO DataTypes.INT MINIMAL -32768 to 32767 If the field ripples, this is the fieldId
of the field it ripples to.
A value of 0 indicates no rippling.
For a description of rippling, refer to the
Transport API Java Edition
Developers Guide.
TYPEa
a. These elements are specific to the Marketfeed format and can be used in converting to or from it. They can otherwise be ignored.
DataTypes.INT MINIMAL e.g., MfFieldTypes.INTEGER The data type of the field for the
Marketfeed format.
LENGTHaDataTypes.UINT MINIMAL 0 to 65535 The maximum string length of the field
for the Marketfeed format.
RWFTYPE DataTypes.UINT MINIMAL e.g., DataTypes.INT The data type (DataTypes) of the field.
RWFLEN DataTypes.UINT MINIMAL 0 to 65535 The maximum length needed to cache
the encoded value (the value found in
the FieldEntry’s encData buffer).
This is only a suggestion and is not
enforced.
A length of 0 implies that the maximum
possible size for that type should be
used for caching.
ENUMLENGTH DataTypes.UINT NORMAL 0 to 65535 Used for fields of type
DataTypes.ENUM. This is the length of
the DISPLAY element in its
Enumerated Types table (See Section
5.6.1).
LONGNAME DataTypes.ASCII_STRING NORMAL e.g., “PERMISSION” Equivalent to the field’s DDE
ACRONYM (i.e., Long Name).

5.5.2 Field Dictionary File Format
The RDMFieldDictionary file format is a plain-text table. Each row represents one field, and each column a datum about that
field. Each row is separated with a line break and columns are separated by whitespace. Lines beginning with an exclamation
point (!) are comments and are ignored.
Figure 9. Field Dictionary File Format Sample
Several tagged attributes are available at the beginning of the file. These attributes provide versioning information about the
dictionary in the file and are processed when loading from a file-based dictionary. Some of this information is conveyed along
with the domain model representation of the dictionary. Tags may be added as future dictionary versions become available.
For the RDMFieldDictionary, an example of these tags are shown below.

5.6 Enumerated Types Dictionary
5.6.1 Enumerated Types Dictionary Payload
The payload of an Enumerated Types Dictionary Refresh Message consists of a Series with each series entry (SeriesEntry)
containing an ElementList and representing a table in the dictionary. The ElementList in each entry contains information
about each Enumerated Type in the table.
Each ElementEntry has a type of DataTypes.ARRAY, where there is one element for each column in the file: VALUE,
DISPLAY, and MEANING. The content of each Array corresponds to one Enumerated Type, so each array should contain the
same number of entries.

NAME TYPE LEAST
VERBOSITY EXAMPLE
LIST DESCRIPTION
FIDS DataTypes.ARRAY of
DataTypes.INT NORMAL 15, 1084,
1085,… The fieldId’s of all fields that reference this
table. These fields should have type
DataTypes.ENUM in the Field Dictionary and
use the values given in the VALUE list. The
Array.itemLength should be 2 because each
fieldId is a two-byte, signed integer value.
VALUE DataTypes.ARRAY of
DataTypes.ENUM NORMAL 826, 840, … Includes values that correspond to each
Enumerated Type. FieldEntries that use the
table contain these values. The
Array.itemLength should be 2 since each
enum is a two-byte, unsigned integer value.
DISPLAY DataTypes.ARRAY of
DataTypes.ASCII_STRING,
DataTypes.RMTES_STRING,
or DataTypes.UTF8_STRING
NORMAL “GBP”,
“USD”,… Brief, displayable names for each Enumerated
Type.
When special characters are needed, the
DISPLAY column uses a hexadecimal value
identified by using hash marks instead of
quotation marks (e.g., #42FE#).
MEANING DataTypes.ARRAY of
DataTypes.ASCII_STRING VERBOSE “UK pound
sterling”, “US
Dollar”,…
A longer description of each Enumerated Type.
Note: Providers do not need to provide this
array (even when verbosity is VERBOSE).

5.6.2 Enumerated Types Dictionary File Format
The enumtype.def file format is a plain-text set of tables. Rows are separated by lines and columns are separated by
whitespace (excepting quoted strings, as illustrated in Section 5.6.1). Lines that begin with an exclamation point (!) are
comments and are ignored.
The file contains a set of tables, each with two sections:
1. A section with the list of fieldId values corresponding to all fields that use the table.
2. A section with the table of enumerated values and their respective display data.

5.6.2.2 Tagged Attributes
Several tagged attributes are available at the beginning of the file. These attributes provide version information about the
dictionary contained in the file and are processed while loading from a file-based dictionary. Some of this information is
conveyed along with the domain model representation of the dictionary. Tags may be added as future dictionary versions
become available.
For the enumtype.def, an example of these tags are as follows:

ETAJ330UMRDM.190
5.9 Special Semantics
5.9.1 DictionaryId
A dictionaryId can be included with FieldList and ElementList payload information. The dictionaryId contained in the
payload should match the Id of the dictionaries required to encode or decode the content. (e.g. Field Dictionary, Enumerated
Types Dictionary). Dictionaries used together to decode a field list should all have a matching Id.
dictionaryId values are globally scoped and can have a range of values from -16383 to 16383. Values 0 through 16383 are
reserved for Thomson Reuters use. Customers can provide their own dictionaries by selecting a dictionaryId between -1
and -16383.
A dictionaryId can be changed in two ways. If a dictionaryId is provided on a solicited or unsolicited refresh message,
this dictionary is used across all messages on the stream until a different dictionaryId is provided in a subsequent solicited
or unsolicited refresh. If a FieldEntry contains a fieldId of zero, this reserved value indicates a temporary dictionary
change. In this situation, this entry’s value is the new dictionaryId, encoded or decoded as a Int. When a dictionaryId is
changed in this manner, the change is only in effect on the remaining entries in the field list or until another fieldId of zero is
encountered. Any other containerType housed inside of a remaining entry also adopts the temporarily changed dictionary.
After the end of the field list is reached, the dictionaryId from the refresh takes precedence once again.
5.9.2 DictionariesProvided and DictionariesUsed
The Source Directory’s Info filter entry (refer to Section 4.3.1.1) includes two elements related to Dictionaries:
DictionariesProvided and DictionariesUsed. Both elements contain an Array of DataTypes.ASCII_STRING dictionary
names. These names can be used in msgKey.name to request the dictionaries.
To dynamically discover dictionaries while minimizing the amount of data downloaded:
1. Parse the “DictionariesUsed” from each desired service in the Source Directory.
2. Parse the “DictionariesProvided” from every service in the Source Directory.
3. Make a streaming request for each Dictionary Name listed in DictionariesUsed from the service that lists the
DictionaryName in DictionariesProvided. The msgKey.filter of each RequestMsg should be set to
Dictionary.VerbosityValues.INFO so as to request only the dictionary’s basic information (because dictionaries tend to
be large, this setting prevents unnecessary network traffic).
4. For each Dictionary response, parse the summaryData in the payload to obtain the dictionary’s Type and Version.
• If a dictionary is of an unneeded type, that dictionary stream can be closed.
• If a dictionary is needed, a reissue request can be made where the msgKey.filter requests a higher verbosity (e.g.
Dictionary.VerbosityValues.NORMAL).
• Version information can be used to determine if the consumer needs to update its dictionary.
5.9.3 Version Information
The version of a dictionary is normally available in Summary Data in the payload of a RefreshMsg. All available verbosities are
expected to include this information. The verbosity Dictionary.VerbosityValues.INFO can be used to request only the version
information (as the many fields in dictionaries tend to result in large messages).
This information normally comes in the form of a DataTypes.ASCII_STRING containing a dotted-decimal version number,
indicating first the major version, followed by the minor version, and possibly followed by a third (informational) micro-version.
For example, in the string 1.2.3:
•1 is the major version
Chapter 5 Dictionary Domain
Transport API 3.3.x Java Edition – Developers Guide 83
ETAJ330UMRDM.190
•2 is the minor version
•3 is the micro-version
5.9.3.1 Version Information Usage
Version information has a couple of uses:
•The minor version changes whenever a dictionary adds new fields, but does not modify existing fields. This means
the consumer can still use the previous dictionary with its data (though the consumer is unable to decode any new
fields). Also, if the consumer has multiple dictionaries with the same major version available, it can use the minor
version information to determine which is the latest (and therefore will be able to decode all fields regardless of the
data’s source).
•The major version changes if the dictionary changes in a way that is not compatible with previous versions (such as
changing an existing field). This means that data encoded using a dictionary with one major version cannot be
decoded using a dictionary with a different major version. If a consumer learns that its provider has changed to a
dictionary with a different major version, it must retrieve the new dictionary before again decoding data.
5.9.3.2 Handling Dictionary Version Changes
To keep consumers informed of changes, Thomson Reuters recommends that dictionary requests be streaming even though
updates are not used for this domain.
If the dictionary’s minor version changes, a provider may advertise it via a StatusMsg with a State of StreamStates.OPEN/
DataStates.SUSPECT. The consumer may then reissue its dictionary request to obtain the latest version.
If a dictionary’s major version is changed, the provider should disconnect all consumers to ensure that the consumers’ content
and dictionary are entirely resynchronized.
5.10 Other Dictionary Types
The Dictionary domain is intended to be used for other versionable data that updates very rarely. This section briefly describes
the other reserved dictionary types.
None of these dictionary types are currently used, nor is there any domain model specification associated with any of them at
this time.
DICTIONARY TYPE DESCRIPTION
RecordTemplate A RecordTemplate dictionary contains multiple record templates. Each record template
contains a list of all of the fields present in a FieldList. Historically, RecordTemplates
have been used for QForms. While they can be used for Marketfeed records and
FieldLists, they typically are not used for those data formats. Templates for Marketfeed
records and FieldLists are dynamically generated when an image is received.
Examples of external file representations for a RecordTemplate dictionary include
tss_records.cf and appendix_d.
DisplayTemplate A DisplayTemplate dictionary contains specifications that describe how and where to
display fields on a screen.

Chapter 5 Dictionary Domain
Transport API 3.3.x Java Edition – Developers Guide 84
ETAJ330UMRDM.190
DataDefinition A Data Definitions dictionary contains specifications for Set Definitions for use with Field
Lists and Element Lists. Set Definitions provide bandwidth optimization by separating
out repetitive or redundant data.
StyleSheet A StyleSheet dictionary contains an XSLT or CSS style sheet.
Reference A Reference dictionary is a table of reference information provided as a Series. This
information is not used for parsing, interpreting, caching, or displaying data.

5.12 Dictionary Utility Functions
Utility functions load, encode, and decode Field and Enumerated Types Dictionaries. You may find these functions in the
DataDictionary class.
The functions should be called with a DataDictionary object, which stores information associated with each field (any
associated Enumerated Types table, if the field uses one). Each load or decode function adds information to the object when
called. Fields and Enumerated Types tables may be added from any number of sources, as long as there is no duplicate or
conflicting information.
The DataDictionary object stores an array of DictionaryEntry objects, indexed by fieldId. Each entry stores the data
type (DataTypes) of the field along with other information. The field will also have a reference to a EnumTypeTable, if the field
uses an Enumerated Types table.
FUNCTION NAME DESCRIPTION
DataDictionary.clear Clears the DataDictionary. This must be done prior to initial use of the object.
DataDictionary.loadFieldDictionary Adds data from a Field Dictionary file to the DataDictionary (refer to Section 5.5.2).
This currently supports the RDMFieldDictionary, or other dictionaries using the same
formatting.
DataDictionary.decodeFieldDictionar
yAdds data from a Field Dictionary message payload to the DataDictionary (refer to
Section 5.5.1).
DataDictionary.encodeFieldDictionar
yCreates a Field Dictionary message payload from the DataDictionary object (refer to
Section 5.5.1).
DataDictionary.loadEnumTypeDictio
nary Adds data from an Enumerated Types Dictionary file to the DataDictionary (refer to
Section 5.6.2). This currently supports the enumtype.def, or other enumerated type
dictionaries using the same formatting.
DataDictionary.decodeEnumTypeDic
tionary Adds data from an Enumerated Types Dictionary message payload to the
DataDictionary (refer to Section 5.6.1).
DataDictionary.encodeEnumTypeDic
tionary Creates an Enumerated Types Dictionary message payload from the DataDictionary
object (refer to Section 5.6.1). Note that this function uses DataTypes.ASCII_STRING
as the DISPLAY array type.
DataDictionary.toString() Prints the information (fields, enumerated type tables) currently stored in the
DataDictionary. Aids in debugging.
DataDictionary.extractDictionaryTyp
eExtracts the RDM Dictionary Type (Dictionary.Types) information from an encoded
dictionary. This can determine the specific dictionary decode function that should be
used (e.g. for dictionary type of Dictionary.Types.FIELD_DEFINITIONS, the user
would next invoke the DataDictionary.decodeFieldDictionary function).
This is expected to be called after Msg.decode (where the Msg.domainType is
DomainTypes.DICTIONARY), but before decoding the Msg.encodedDataBody
payload.
FieldSetDefDb.clear Clears the FieldSetDefDb. This must be called before initial use of the object.
FieldSetDefDb.addSetDef Deep copies the given FieldSetDef into the FieldSetDefDb.
FieldSetDefDb.encode Creates a Global Field Set Definition Dictionary message payload from the
FieldSetDefDb object (refer to Section 5.7).

Chapter 6 Market Price Domain
6.1 Description
The Market Price domain provides access to Level I market information such as trades, indicative quotes, and top-of-book
quotes. All information is sent as a FieldList. Field-value pairs contained in the field list include information related to that
item (i.e., net change, bid, ask, volume, high, low, or last price).
6.2 Usage
6.2.1 Market Price Request Message
A Market Price request message is encoded and sent by OMM consumer applications. The request specifies the name and
attributes of an item in which the consumer is interested.
To receive updates, a consumer can make a “streaming” request by setting the RequestMsgFlags.STREAMING flag. If the
flag is not set, the consumer requests a “snapshot,” and the refresh ends the request.
By default, JSON sets the RequestMsgFlags.STREAMING flag to true. To request a snapshot, you must explicitly set the
RequestMsgFlags.STREAMING flag to false.
To stop updates, a consumer can pause an item (if the provider supports the pause feature) by setting Request.Pause to true.
For additional details, refer to the Transport API Java Edition Developers Guide.
Note: GenericMsg(s) are not supported in the MARKET_PRICE Reuters Domain Model.
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION / VALUE
MsgClass Required. MsgClasses.REQUEST == 1
domainType Required. DomainTypes.MARKET_PRICE == 6
qos Optional. Indicates the QoS at which the consumer wants the stream serviced. If both qos and
worstQos are specified, this request can be satisfied by a range of QoS.
worstQos Optional. Used with the qos member to define a range of acceptable QoS. When the provider
encounters such a range, it should attempt to provide the best QoS it can within that range.
worstQos should only be used on services that claim to support it via the SupportsQosRange
item in the Source Directory response (refer to Section 4.3.1.1).
priorityClass Optional. Indicates the class of a streams priority.
priorityCount Optional. Indicates the count associated with a streams priority.
extendedHeader Not used.
msgKey.serviceId Required. Optional. Specifies the ID or name (e.g., “ELEKTRON_DD”) of the service from
which the consumer wishes to request the item. msgKey.serviceId can be left blank if the
provider uses a default ID or name.

Chapter 7 Market By Order Domain
7.1 Description
The Market By Order domain provides access to Level II full order books. The list of orders is sent in the form of a Map. Each
MapEntry represents one order (using the order’s Id as its key) and contains a FieldList describing information related to
that order (such as price, whether it is a bid/ask order, size, quote time, and market maker identifier).
7.2 Usage
7.2.1 Market By Order Request Message
A Market By Order request message is encoded and sent by OMM consumer applications. The request specifies the name of
the item in which a consumer is interested.
To receive updates, the consumer makes a “streaming” request by setting the RequestMsgFlags.STREAMING flag. If the flag
is not set, the consumer is requesting a “snapshot,” and the final part of the refresh (i.e., the refresh has the
RefreshMsgFlags.REFRESH_COMPLETE flag set) indicates all responses have been received for the snapshot. Updates
may be received in either case if the refresh has multiple parts.
By default, JSON sets the RequestMsgFlags.STREAMING flag to true. To request a snapshot, you must explicitly set the
RequestMsgFlags.STREAMING flag to false.
To stop updates, a consumer can pause an item if the provider supports this functionality. For additional details, refer to the
Transport API Java Edition Developers Guide.

Chapter 8 Market By Price Domain
8.1 Description
Market By Price provides access to Level II market depth information. The list of price points is sent in a Map. Each entry
represents one price point (using that price and bid/ask side as its key) and contains a FieldList that describes information
related to that price point.
8.2 Usage
8.2.1 Market By Price Request Message
A Market By Price request message is encoded and sent by OMM consumer applications. The request specifies the name of
an item in which the consumer is interested.
To receive updates, a consumer can make a “streaming” request by setting the RequestMsgFlags.STREAMING flag. If the
flag is not set, the consumer requests a “snapshot” and the refresh should end the request (updates may be received in either
case if the refresh has multiple parts).
A consumer can pause an item to stop updates (if the provider supports such functionality). For more information, refer to the
Transport API Java Edition Developers Guide.
Note: GenericMsg(s) are not supported for the DomainTypes.MARKET_BY_PRICE Reuters Domain Model.

qos Optional. Indicates the QoS at which the consumer wants the stream serviced. If both qos and
worstQos are specified, this request can be satisfied by a range of QoS.
worstQos Optional. Used with qos to define a range of acceptable QoS. When the provider encounters
such a range, it should attempt to provide the best QoS possible within that range.
This should only be used on services that claim to support it via the SupportsQosRange item in
the Source Directory response (for further details, refer to Section 4.3.1.1).
priorityClass Optional. Indicates the class of a streams priority.
priorityCount Optional. Indicates the count associated with a streams priority.

Chapter 10 Yield Curve Domain
10.1 Description
The Yield Curve domain shows the relation between the interest rate and the term (time to maturity) associated with the debt
of a borrower. The shape of a yield curve can help give an idea of future economic activity and interest rates. Information is
sent as a FieldList, where some FieldEntry‘s can contain more complex types such as Vector, Array, or ElementList.
This chapter documents the Yield Curve domain as provided by the ATS.
10.2 Usage
10.2.1 Yield Curve Request Message
A Yield Curve request message is encoded and sent by OMM consumer applications. The request specifies the name and
attributes of the curve in which the consumer is interested.
To receive updates, the consumer makes a “streaming” request by setting the RequestMsgFlags.STREAMING flag. If the flag
is not set, the consumer requests a “snapshot,” and the final part of the refresh (i.e., the refresh has the
RefreshMsgFlags.REFRESH_COMPLETE flag set) indicates all responses have been received for the snapshot. Updates
may be received in either case if the refresh has multiple parts.
To stop updates, a consumer can pause an item (if the provider supports the pause feature). For additional details, refer to the
Transport API Java Edition Developers Guide.
Note: The YIELD_CURVE Reuters Domain Model does not support GenericMsg(s).
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION / VALUE
msgClass Required. MsgClasses.REQUEST == 1
domainType Required. DomainTypes.YIELD_CURVE == 22
qos Optional. Indicates the QoS at which the consumer wants the stream serviced. If both qos and
worstQos are specified, this request can be satisfied by a range of QoS.
worstQos Optional. Used with the qos member to define a range of acceptable QoS. When the provider
encounters such a range, it should attempt to provide the best QoS it can within that range.
worstQos should only be used on services that claim to support it via the SupportsQosRange
item in the Source Directory response (refer to Section 4.3.1.1).
priorityClass Optional. Indicates the class of a streams priority.
priorityCount Optional. Indicates the count associated with a streams priority.
extendedHeader Not used.
msgKey.serviceId Required. Specifies the ID or name (e.g., “ELEKTRON_DD”) of the service that provides the
requested item. msgKey.serviceId can be left blank if the provider uses a default ID or name.

10.2.2 Yield Curve Refresh Message
A Yield Curve Refresh Message is sent by OMM provider and OMM non-interactive provider applications. This message
sends all currently available information about the item to the consumer.
FieldList in the payload should include all fields that might be present in subsequent updates, even if those fields are
currently blank. When responding to a View request, this refresh should contain all fields requested by the specified view. If for
any reason the provider wishes to send new fields, it must first send an unsolicited refresh with both the new and currently-
present fields.
Providers must set the RefreshMsgFlags.CLEAR_CACHE flag on the solicited RefreshMsg. For multi-part refreshes, the
RefreshMsgFlags.CLEAR_CACHE flag must be set on the first part only.
Warning! Although the payload is an FieldList, some field entries are sent as more complex types such as Vector
and Array. Encoding and decoding applications should be aware of this and ensure proper handling of these types.

10.3 Data
10.3.1 Yield Curve Refresh/Update Payload
The payload of a Yield Curve Refresh or Update is a FieldList. Some FieldEntry contents contain primitive type
information to help describe the curve. Examples include the Curve Type (CRV_TYPE), the Algorithm used to calculate the
curve (CRV_ALGTHM), and the Interpolation (INTER_MTHD) and Extrapolation (EXTRP_MTHD) methods.
Other FieldEntry’s contain more complex information. The more complex entries are broken down into:
• Input Entries which define the different input data used to calculate the yield curve. Inputs are represented using non-
sorted Vector types. Examples of curve inputs would be cash rates (CASH_RATES), future prices (FUTR_PRCS),
and swap rates (SWAP_RATES).
• Output Entries which define the output of the yield curve calculation. Outputs are represented using non-sorted
Vector types. An example of curve outputs would be the Yield Curve (YLD_CURVE) itself.
• Extra Meta Data (EX_MET_DAT) which provides general data about the yield curve. This is represented using a
ElementList type. Extra meta data allows users to provide additional curve descriptions without needing to define
new fields. Some examples of meta data would be curve creation time or the curve’s owner.

Chapter 10 Yield Curve Domain
Transport API 3.3.x Java Edition – Developers Guide 132
ETAJ330UMRDM.190
10.3.2 Summary Data
For Vector types, summaryData can be included to provide information specific to the Vector‘s contents. Any summaryData
needs to be present only for the first refresh part that contains the Vector. Typical summaryData fields include tenors
(TENORS).
10.3.3 Yield Curve Input and Output Entries
Each VectorEntry houses a FieldList that contains specific information about the respective input or output. The field list
should be decoded using its associated Field Dictionary, indicated by the dictionaryId present in the field list.
• For more information on dictionary use, refer to Section 5.2.
• For more information about use of the Vector and FieldList container types, refer to the Transport API Java Edition
Developers Guide.
The following table contains additional information about input and output entries (all of which are of the DataTypes.VECTOR
container type with a container entry type of DataTypes.FIELD_LIST).
10.4
When an application consumes Yield Curve data, the dictionary used by the application must contain certain required FIDs.
For further details,

A Symbol List status message is encoded and sent by OMM interactive provider and non-interactive provider applications.
This message conveys state change information associated with an item stream.
11.3 Data
11.3.1 Symbol List Request Payload
A consumer requesting a Symbol List stream may also request additional behaviors from a supporting provider. To do so, the
payload of its RequestMsg must contain an ElementList list that includes an ElementEntry.
The entry contains an ElementList, in which the consumer encodes entries to request the desired behaviors. The consumer
should ensure that the provider supports the requested behavior by checking the Login Refresh sent by the provider. For more
information, refer to Section 3.2.4.
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION / VALUE
MsgClass Required. MsgClasses.STATUS == 3
domainType Required. DomainTypes.SYMBOL_LIST == 10
state Optional. Current state information associated with the data and stream.
qos Not used. Optional. Specifies the quality of service at which the stream is provided.
groupId Optional. The provider can use this to change the item’s groupId.
permData Optional. Specifies new permissioning information associated with the stream’s contents.
extendedHeader Not used.
msgKey.serviceId Optional. Specifies the ID or name (e.g., “ELEKTRON_DD”) of the service that provides the
item. msgKey.serviceId can be left blank if the provider uses a default ID or name.
msgKey.nameType Optional. msgKey.nameType should match the name type specified on the request. If it is not
specified, msgKey.nameType defaults to InstrumentNameTypes.RIC.
msgKey.name Optional. Specifies the name of the item being provided.
msgKey.filter Not used.

11.3.2 Symbol List Data Streams
A Consumer can request that a provider open data streams for the items included in a Symbol List Refresh or Update.
Because data streams are opened by the Provider, the Consumer should expect the Provider to use negative streamId
values. To request data streams in this manner, include the following entry in the ElementList of the :SymbolListBehaviors
entry:
ELEMENT
NAME TYPE REQUIRED DEFAULT RANGE /
EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
:DataStreams DataTypes.UINT No 0x0 0x1 Indicates whether the consumer application is
requesting that the provider open data streams
for items present in the Symbol List.
The following flags are defined:
•0x0: The provider should not open any data
streams.
•0x1: The provider should open streams for items
as they are added to the symbol list.
•0x2: The provider should send non-streaming
responses as items are added or updated in the
symbol list.

11.3.3 Symbol List Refresh/Update Payload
The Symbol List payload is a Map. The provider may include summaryData that includes the domainType and nameType
associated with each entry.
Each MapEntry key is the item’s name. The entry’s payload can be empty, contain a FieldList, or contain an ElementList,
either of which can contain additional information (i.e., permission data and cross-reference information). This information
should not update frequently.
A FieldList typically includes the fields:
•PROV_SYMB (3422): Contains the original symbol as provided by the exchange
•PROD_PERM (1): Stores permission information
