CSV Market Data Adapter in Photon

Hi,

I've copied mdata-csv-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar file into the Photon/plugins directory and restarted all components but still can't see the feed under Preferences -> Market Data. Any ideas on what more I need to do?

Thanks

Try going to photon/features/ and playing around with one of the feature.xml files. This is where the photon plugins are specified.

Edit: Also make sure the feed is compiled as an Eclipse plugin.

There are a few magic incantations that are necessary. Let me know if you're still having trouble.

Ref: http://www.marketcetera.org/confluence/display/MOL/CSV+Market+Data+Adapter

With reference to the "Easy Way" set of instructions found under "Documentation", the initial instruction is:
"Place the attached mdata-csv-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar file in the strategyagent/modules/jar directory."

From the attached screenshot you can see there is no "modules" or "jar" folder under the "strategyagent" folder, as downloaded from source control. Are these to be added manually?

The subsequent instruction is:
"Unzip the attached sample-strategyagent-csv-files.zip file under your <metc>/strategyagent directory to get the configuration and sample scripts to run a strategy with a CSV market data adapter."

However, "strategyagent" is not a subfolder of the project root <metc>. Is the correct path "<metc>/source/strategyagent"?
Also, the zip contains a "modules" subfolder (see second screenshot), which will cause one to be created under "<metc>/source/strategyagent". If this is the intent, the "jar" folder (cited above) will still not be created.

Finally, the instruction:
"Run the following Strategy Agent command to start (you may need to have the ORS running, depending on your SA setup):"
"windows:> bin\strategyagent.bat samples\commands/MarketData-csv.txt"

There appears to be no "strategyagent.bat" in the entire project folder structure, as downloaded from source control.

The instructions are for the installed version of Marketcetera where all these are true. It's rather more complicated to run from source. Use source/strategyagent/src/test/cmd_exec for the root (find modules/jars, etc under that). To execute, from the strategyagent directory say "mvn -Pexecute exec:java".
