- Refinitiv products will be undergoing brand changes to reflect Refinitiv branding. For any further information please contact us at [email protected].
- Eektron SDK is now rebranded to Refinitiv Real-Time SDK. Further rebranding changes are forthcoming.
REBRAND IMPACT STATEMENT: Starting with release RTSDK 2.0 (ETA/EMA 3.6), rebranding activities will be completed and will impact customers in the following manner where applicable: namespace changes and jar files names. This applies to applications written to EMA C++, EMA Java and ETA Java. Customers of impacted applications written to ESDK/RTSDK will be required to alter code, re-compile and redeploy applications to pick up these changes. Please note that connectivity to Refinitiv products will not be impacted after rebranding and existing applications will continue to work. However, all future fixes will be made only on re-branded releases. After July 2021, non-rebranded revisions will no longer be available or supported for licensing reasons. With the 2.0.0 release, a REBRAND.md file will be published with exact details and sample code to serve as a guide to quickly adapt to changes. For further details on impact and timelines on RTSDK and other APIs, please see the API Product Change Notification (PCN).
This is the Refinitiv Real-Time SDK. This SDK encompasses these Real-Time APIs: open source Enterprise Message API (EMA) and the open source Enterprise Transport API (ETA).
The Enterprise Message API (EMA) is an ease of use, open source, OMM API. EMA is designed to provide clients rapid development of applications, minimizing lines of code and providing a broad range of flexibility. It provides flexible configuration with default values to simplify use and deployment. EMA is written on top of the Enterprise Transport API (ETA) utilizing the Value Added Reactor and Watchlist.
The Enterprise Transport API (ETA) is an open source Refinitiv low-level Transport and OMM encoder/decoder API. It is used by the Refinitiv Real-Time Distribution Systems and Refinitiv Real-Time for the optimal distribution of OMM/RWF data and allows applications to achieve the highest performance, highest throughput, and lowest latency. ETA fully supports all OMM constructs and messages.
The Refinitiv Real-Time-SDK will support multiple languages across different combinations of Linux and Windows and their corresponding compilers. Navigate to the language and API of your choice to see the individual API README.md files for further details on building and running the API and examples. You can click on the below links to take you to the language of your choice.
Documentation is available in PDF format on GitHub and Refinitiv Developer Portal.
GitHub PDF format docs per API:
- Enterprise Message API - C++ Edition
- Enterprise Transport API - C Edition
- Enterprise Message API - Java Edition
- Enterprise Transport API - Java Edition
Refinitiv Developer Portal documentation section contains docs in PDF format for both C++ and Java:
Documentation is also available in HTML format on a package or Refinitiv Developer Portal.
Packages are available for download in Developer Portal. If viewing docs included with a locally installed package, please consider hosting the HTML docs in an internal portal, using Internet Explorer, or, modifying security settings with Firefox, etc., to do so. HTML documentation is also available on Developer Portal for ETAC, ETA Java, EMA C++ and EMA Java. We highly recommend viewing HTML docs from Developer Portal.
