Issues downloading IB symbols

I can't download IB symbols anymore. Can only get the last price for fx, and nothing on indices. For indices like $VIX or $SPX the log says my package is not enabled for that, that I need to upgrade. And for FX it is simply trying and failing to download. The only change in my setup is I have added a Rythmic data feed. Put Rithmic symbols in a new instance. Please help. Thanks.


Below is an example of the log for EURUSD after I clicked on delete and redownload.

For EUR.USD, apparently the Symbol Settings are not correct based upon what we see.

Update the Symbol Settings as explained here:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_GlobalSymbolSettings.php#UpdateSettingsSteps

If that does not resolve the problem perform a Full Reset.

For the cash indices, those are Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed symbols. Refer to:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SierraChartRealTimeFuturesStockDataFeed.php#AccessCashIndexMarketData

You need to use the symbols in File >> Find Symbol >> IB Indexes instead.

Just did a Full Reset.

Still not working. Among other things it says "Socket (586) | Shutdown and closed."

I can see the current price, and it downloads/plots from the moment I open the symbol (eg 15:15 today), but it does not download any previous data.

We are unable to reproduce the problem, so update to the current version of Sierra Chart and see if that resolves it.
