IBC 3.21.0
开云体育I have just released version 3.21.0 of IBC. You can find it on GitHub at: ? ? This release provides support for TWS/Gateway 1034 running on Linux. For this release, IBKR have updated the installer so that, on Linux, TWS and Gateway use the Azul Zulu Java 17 runtime environment rather than the Oracle 8 JRE used in previous releases. ? NB: TWS/Gateway 1034 on Linux will not work with previous releases of IBC. ? If you are not running TWS/Gateway 1034 on Linux, you do not need to upgrade to this release. There are a couple of other minor changes in this release, but no harm should occur if you don't install this release on Windows. ? To do this upgrade from IBC 3.20.0 it is only necessary to extract the IBC.jar and version files to your IBC installation folder, and extract the ibccstart.sh script to your scripts subfolder. ? If you are currently using an earlier IBC version than 3.20.0, do a full install. ? [The situation with macOS is uncertain at present. It would be helpful if someone with a macOS machine could experiment with IBC 3.20.0 and TWS/Gateway 1034, and if that doesn't work try updating to IBC 3.21.0. Feed back the results via the issues register.] ? Richard ? |

Re: Help with jre 21 & BNC 3.20
开云体育Thanks for the thanks, but I’d actually forgotten I’d been any help on this. ? I did get a Raspberry Pi 5 over the Christmas period, and was getting on nicely with it (though I hadn’t actually installed TWS or Gateway yet), but then I was hit by a disaster that I still haven’t fully dug my way out of. This was caused by the Windows 11 24H2 update from Microsoft. I must have read everything on the internet about this issue, but I’m still missing something fundamental. I’m sure it’s related to some security improvements made in this release, which are not interoperating correctly with my Windows Server Essentials domain controller, but Microsoft’s documentation in this area is scattered all over the place, practically incomprehensible to non-exerts, and generally frustrating beyond measure! ? So I’m hoping I’ll soon be able to get back to the Pi, and the 1034 TWS/Gateway release has been very enlightening. ? Richard |

Re: Help with jre 21 & BNC 3.20
As Richard mentioned in this post, the Linux distributions of TWS/IBGW 10.34 now ship with a Java JRE17. That means that IBKR has made the appropriate changes in the source code so that TWS/IBGW now support the Java language changes introduced by Java 11 and Java 17. That makes it much more feasible for TWS/IBGW on ARM devices, In fact, I was just now able to install and run TWS (not just IBGW) for the first time on my loyal but tired Raspberry Pi 2:
Before we go on, one quick disclaimer. TWS/IBGW have not been designed for the ARM architecture and their extensive dependence on Java 8 (until now) and Java FX2 features places significant (undocumented) requirements on the system, the Java JRE, and JavaFX . While running TWS/IBGW on ARM is an interesting exercise, seems to become quite stable, and will be useful in many scenarios, using them to trade in a live account is still a really bad idea. With that out of the way, here the simple steps that I went through to bring up TWS. No modification of TWS scripts are required:
That's it. It takes a while to start up (all spent in "Reading layout settings ..") but here it is ... 闯ü谤驳别苍 ? ?

Re: tws hangs on ibc startup
开云体育What you’ve sent provides no useful information for this case. I can’t even tell which versions of TWS and IBC you’re running. The full logfile contains practically everything I could possibly want to know, so in future please always send the whole thing. Also don’t quote it, attach it to your post so I can easily view it in a text editor, compare it with other logs etc. ? Having said that, I suspect that you’re trying to run TWS 1034 on Linux. There is a known problem in this case, because IBKR have switched from the Oracle Java 8 Runtime Environment to the Azul Zulu Java 17 runtime, which requires some adjustments to the Java command. ? I have fixed this and will release a new version at the weekend. In the meantime, either: ?

tws hangs on ibc startup

Hi Richard,
?
I did read the notes for the following settings
?
AutoLogoffTime – Specifies a time for TWS to shut down without restarting.
AutoRestartTime – Specifies a time for TWS to shut down and restart automatically. ColdRestartTime – Specifies a Sunday-specific restart time to ensure full authentication, as required by IBKR. ?
?
To my understanding, they do NOT change the radio button from "Auto Logoff" to "Auto Restart"? . They meant for setting the time, not the radio button. Did I get it wrong?

Thank you, |

Re: Java Error Linux
开云体育I’m afraid I can’t offer any advice on how best to do encryption on Linux. ? Any solution that involves something like eCryptFS is going to involve manual intervention at some point, for example to enter a passphrase, so I don’t know whether full automation is possible. ? But you could for example add the mount command to a script in your login profile. You would then get the passphrase prompt each time you log in, and the folder would then be decrypted (so IBC can read it). That might be acceptable. ? Richard ? ? |

Re: Java Error Linux
Sorry! Figured easy enough to just cat it since short. Thanks for the pointer, I think I know the problem, my .ini is completely marbled up when I encrypted the folder. I encrypted using: Do you have a link for how to do the encryption properly on linux? Or like how does IBC know how to properly read the folder?
