Programmatic selection of trade service?

Hi guys,

I'm trying to programmatically (ACSIL/command line/whatever works) select a trade service when starting SierraChart.

The according command line parameter (/service:) does not seem to work. No matter what I use there (e.g. /service:rithmic_v2.trading), it always starts up with the service I used before (e.g. Teton Paper).

I know it's possible to duplicate SC folders and have each instance have different connection settings - but I don't want that in order not to lose all chart data/etc. All I want is to startup SC (run _64.exe) with a DTS Config Preset of my choice.

Is there any way to accomplish this? Checked all documentation and couldn't find a solution so far. Where does SC store the currently selected DTS Config?

Thanks!

There is no longer a way to change the Service from the command line. However, we will see about adding an ACSIL function to change the Data/Trading service.

That would be awesome. Thanks! Any idea when that could become available?
