Problem witrh Gateway 10.22

Richard L King Member Profile All Messages By This Member #2042 开云体育 [NB: if you are not trying to use Gateway 10.22 there is no need for you to take any action, so just ignore this.] ? It’s come to my attention that IBC 3.16.2 and earlier doesn’t work properly with Gateway 10.22: it fails to fill in the username and password when logging in (but TWS 10.22 is fine). ? This is because of a change to the window title of the login dialog that IB have made: it used to be ‘IB Gateway’ and now it’s ‘IBKR Gateway’. Consequently IBC doesn’t recognise it as the login dialog, and ignores it. ? I have fixed the problem and a new version is accessible on GitHub, but I haven’t actually yet created a new release in the usual way. There are other things that need to go into the next release, and I’m not quite ready for it. ? So in the meantime you can download the new version of the following files from : ? IBC.jar version ? Just download these two files directly and copy them over the current versions in your IBC installation folder. No other changes are necessary. ? After deploying these files, IBC will identify as version 3.16.3 in the logfiles. ? Richard ?

Richard L King Member Profile All Messages By This Member #2046 开云体育 You should have let the installer install to its default location, which is /home/pranav/Jts/ibgateway/1022 ? This being the case, IBC should find the jars folder at /home/pranav/Jts/ibgateway/1022/jars. If it’s not there, it must be because you didn’t use the installer’s default location. ? If you actually used the TWS installer, the default location would be /home/pranav/Jts/1022, and the jars folder would be at /home/pranav/Jts/1022/jars ? Since IBC isn’t finding the jars folder, either you didn’t install the standalone (offline) version, or you changed the installer’s location from the default. ? By the way, you don’t seem to have successfully deployed the updated IBC.jar and version files, as your logfile still says it’s IBC 3.16.2, not 3.16.3. ? Richard ?
Pranav Lal All Messages By This Member #2047 开云体育 Hi Richard, ? I did use the offline gateway installer or so I think. Here is what I did. I went to interactivebrokers.com. I then navigate to the “log in” button and activated that submenu. I then select gateway from there. I then chose Linux 64. I finally did a wget ?with the download link. I do have the jars folder at /home/pranav/Jts/ibgateway/1022/jars ? That folder contains the following items.

Richard L King Member Profile All Messages By This Member #2049 开云体育 [Actually the version is still incorrect – it’s not showing any version at all now! The version file should contain just “3.16.3” and nothing else. However, that’s irrelevant as far as your actual problem is concerned.] ? Well, here’s a strange thing, I’ve compared your logfile with mine on Ubuntu 22.04 and they are identical up to the point where yours fails (except for the OS details and the username).

I can only conclude that one of your jar files is corrupt – presumably the one that contains the main entrypoint, can’t remember which one that is. Maybe it has somehow lost its manifest? ? As a basic sanity check, if you haven’t already done so, can you try running Gateway directly from the IB-supplied link – ie without using IBC. If that doesn’t work, then you’ll have to uninstall Gateway and reinstall. If it does work, then I’m completely at a loss – so I think I’d still recommend you uninstall and reinstall Gateway. ? ? ? ? toggle quoted message Show quoted text From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Pranav Lal Sent: Saturday, April 15, 2023 12:31 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ibc] Problem witrh Gateway 10.22 ?

Richard L King Member Profile All Messages By This Member #2051 开云体育 Pranav ? I’ve no idea what went wrong apart from the fact that the relevant jar file didn’t seem to contain the code it should.? Why that should be the case is a mystery to me, unless there was actually something wrong with the installer. ?It’s possible the installer you downloaded was faulty and IB fixed it before I downloaded it. ? So if you actually need 10.22, it would be worth doing it again. Note that you can have any number of Gateway/TWS versions installed – they don’t interfere with each other, so you don’t need to uninstall 10.19 to try 10.22. You only need to change the major version number in the start script (and use the 3.16.3 IBC for 10.22). You could also install 3.16.3 in a different folder from 3.16.2 so if it still doesn’t work it would be easy to revert to 10.19. ? ? toggle quoted message Show quoted text From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Pranav Lal Sent: Sunday, April 16, 2023 4:37 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ibc] Problem witrh Gateway 10.22 ?

J.G. All Messages By This Member #2052 Richard, I recently upgraded Gateway from 9.81 to 10.22. I am currently not using IBC. However, I notice that 10.22 is more unreliable than its predecessor. I am running Gateway the entire week: starting it on Sunday evening and letting it run to the following Saturday morning. Unfortunately, about three times per week it loses connection, can't reconnect itself and then shows a pop-up window asking me whether I want to re-login. I have attached a screenshot of this pop-up window. Would IBC be able to recognize this pop-up window and push the "Re-login" button? relogin.png
Richard L King Member Profile All Messages By This Member #2055 开云体育 Yes, IBC will do this. But it may require 2FA again, So you may need to keep your phone (or other device running IBKR Mobile app) handy. ?

J.G. All Messages By This Member #2056 Thank you. I will do a fresh install of the latest version of IBC and hope that it will cure the Gateway issues I'm seeing recently. Thus far, when I did see that pop-up window asking about re-login, I was not required to provide any credentials. But thanks for warning that this might be necessary on occasion.
J.G. All Messages By This Member #2057 I have installed IBC on my Ubuntu computer, downloaded the newer IBC.jar and version files, and followed the instructions on setting the basic (default) parameters in the config.ini and 1022 version number in gatewaystart.sh and twsstart.sh. Unfortunately does it not start: when executing from a command prompt I get an error message: "line 233: xterm: command not found" I get this for both gatewaystart and twsstart. What am I doing wrong?
J.G. All Messages By This Member #2058 Oooops, please disregard my last question. I had a senior moment. Installing xterm (which was apparently not installed on my computer) solved all issues. IBC is now running like a charm.
