Today I started having trouble with the IB backfill. And before I get to far, Yes I have read the manual more than once.
After the end of day I use backfill all in the quote window and all the symbols are in the quote window. It hangs on every symbol and I have to cancel the back fill. Then I try each symbol one at a time. I get a message that says connected and backfilling. It never gets any further and the data is not retrieved. I get a timeout due to throttling but it hasn't downloaded data for the first symbol in the list. There are two errors I am getting. First one was that there are multiple copies of the symbol in the list. No there isn't. Then I get an error when I cancel backfill that says there was no data in the historical database. Sure there is. Right now it is hung in a loop. It says connected OK backfilling IGE. That window stays on for a while then goes away and I get the same window for the same symbol again. I never get a backfill completed window. Also I notice that the symbol has not been updated for today. Probably because it never completed. When I canceled the backfill it gave the message that there was no data found in the database. Then I tried to backfill the specific symbol and it gives the error Duplicate ticker ID for API historical data query. That message comes and goes until I stop it or the throttling error appears. The exact message is IGE, 322, Error processing request"-'rb' : cause - Duplicate ticker id for API historical data query. If I cancel it I get another error message. The exact message is IGE, 366, No historical data found for ticker ID 14334144. IB just added a security code when I log on to one of my accounts. But this one does not have that feature running yet. Any ideas what id going on? I have stopped AB and started it again a number of times but this error continues and I can not backfill the symbols I did not use today. Thanks, Barry
