Hello,
The problem is that whenever people are having problem
they speak up here,
but as soon as problem is solved they do not bother to
mention that.
That was the case countless times and that was the case
too.
Two people having problem installed the Data Manager from
here:
as I told them, and they are fine now.
But they of course FORGOT to tell that on the list,
because happy user is SILENT user.
And saying that something works after problem is resolved
"not worthwhile" for most people.
So INSTALL THIS eSignal DATA MANAGER:
You need to understand that the plugin is written and
tested with CERTAIN VERSION
of 3rd party API. If third party API data vendor chooses
to CHANGE THEIR API
and make some incompatible changes, and do not announce
changes or test
their API against compatiblity issues, it can cause the
problems.
So you should use the data manager that has been tested
and proved to be working correctly.
And that means this one:
Best regards,

I have to keep
doing a ?force backfill?, and / or shutting down the data manager and
starting it again. I thought it was just
me.
I did some detailed
troubleshooting by uninstalling eSignal 10.2 and installing 10.3. Same
problem. Then I uninstalled 10.3 and went back to 8.0R2 (from 2006 --
poked around my downloads). Interesting, this version is fine. I did this
testing on two separate machines with identical results on
both.
I will try the data manager
you sent with 10.2 and see what the results
are.
Side note -- I believe you've
weighed in on ZenFire -- any changes in your plans to add or not add
support?

I meant to add that I'm
running AB 5.2.0, eSignal plugin 1.9, and eSignal 10.20 (build 396)
(I've heard there are issues with 10.3, sticking with 10.2 for the
time being). OS is XP SP3 and machine has 4GB RAM and a dual-core
CPU.

Recently I noticed that
the eSignal plug-in was losing ticks. Sometimes the chart stopped
updating altogether. eSignal itself flies along along, so
that hasn't been the issue. I emailed support, and the
response was essentially that that shouldn't be happening. Since
then, I used the faq to make sure my charts were updating sub-0.1
second and that I had the latest plugin version. I also went so far
as to temporarily uninstall my anti-vius and -spyware software. No
luck. I emailed again, but no response this time. (I usually get an
excellent response from support, hopefully my response email
just got lost somehow).
Today I tried it on a
different machine -- same chart, etc. and unfortunately, same
result. There are clearly many missing ticks, and the chart has
stopped updating completely a couple of times. If I force backfill,
it fills in the missing ticks and volume, but the problem doesn't go
away.
Since I've tried it on
two computers now with identical results, I'm wondering:
a) has anyone else seen
this?
b) does anyone have any
ideas for troubleshooting thoughts that might help get at the root
cause?
Thanks for any thoughts
anyone might have.
