1.1 About this Manual
This document is authored by Enterprise Message API architects and programmers. Several of its authors have designed, developed, and maintained the Enterprise Message API product and other LSEG products which leverage it. As such, this document is concise and addresses realistic scenarios and use cases.
This guide documents the functionality and capabilities of the Enterprise Message API C++ Edition . The Enterprise Message API can also connect to and leverage many different LSEG and customer components. If you want the Enterprise Message API to interact with other components, consult that specific component’s documentation to determine the best way to configure for optimal interaction.
This document explains the configuration parameters for the Enterprise Messaging API (simply called the Message API). Message API configuration is specified first via compiled-in configuration values, then via an optional user-provided XML configuration file, and finally via programmatic changes introduced via the software.
Configuration works in the same fashion across all platforms.
