WORMS Open Trading Interface Documentation v13.4.271.0 |
WORMS Open Trading Interface (WOTI) is a library that provides an API for interacting with the core business logic underlying the WTP client. The API provides a native .NET interface and COM interface for interacting directly with a WORM system.
Environment: All machines running WOTI applications must have the .NET 4.0 Framework (or greater) installed as well as version 12 of the Microsoft C runtime. The latest C runtime can be downloaded from the Microsoft website.
WORMS System: A v13.4 or later WORMS system must be available with an accessible user permissioned to use WOTI. A WOTI-enabled user must be set up by the WORMS administrator to define market data configuration.
WOTI and COM
WOTI makes a COM interface available that can be accessed by any application with COM interoperability. To make the COM interface available, you must register WOTI with windows. This can be done using the WOTI installer or the RegAsm utility, generally with the command line "regasm Woti.dll /codebase /tlb:Woti.tlb" executed in the directory where WOTI resides.
