Post From: IntraDay Data

Currently using IB with Intraday Data Storage Time Unit of 1 Tick for US equities and SC Real Time for futures. Max Historical Intraday Days to Download is set to 186 for Non-Tick Data and 90 days for 1-Tick Data.

My question concerns the US Equity Data using IB. When I increase the number of days for 1-Tick Data, no new data is requested and the following appears in The Message Log:

Message from IB: HMDS data farm connection is inactive but should be available upon demand.ushmds. IB Error Code: 2107.

It seems I have to re-download everything in order to retrieve more intraday 1-tick data from earlier / farther back in time. Is there a way to refresh (request to re-activate that connection) so that I only request the incremental data?

I have tried altering the Use Number of Days to Display / Load in the Chart Settings, but it does not have any effect.
I have tried disconnecting and reconnecting to the Data / Trade service, but it does not have any effect.
I have tried exiting and restarting SC, but it does not have any effect.

The only solution seems to be to move the cursor to the earliest bar on the chart and use Delete and Download Data. This is obviously very time consuming because I re-download data that I already have. I am aware of Pacing Violations and so set my Delay Between Historical Data Requests to 10,000 ms to avoid an issues. Any advice you can offer to rectify this issue or an alternative work around would be much appreciated.
