posMaintRptID is not unique
05 Oct 2019, 01:24

Hi,

I need to store new trades in a table and then later call Position Report (MsgType(35)=AP) to update those trades in the table at a later time. But the only unique identifier I have available for this is posMaintRptID. Unfortunately this ID is not unique for each trade and I find myself getting duplicates in my table for different trades (perhaps closed at an earlier time) that have the same posMaintRptID.

Can you please advise how I can guarantee uniqueness with IDs received from Position Report when storing and later updating in a table?

Thank you,

Chris

Hi Chris,

posMaintRptID should be unique for each position. Can you please explain to us why do you think it is not unique? 

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

RE:

Hi,

This is true for all open positions, but it seems that posMaintRptID is recycled at a future date for new positions. Is this expected behaviour? Perhaps you only have a set number of posMaintRptID's to use before you re-use old ones.

I can email you several example posMaintRptID's if this helps.

Thank you,

Chris
