How sierra can receive exchange/symbol definition from dtc server?

I am working on custom DTC server using ProtoBuf. Using sierra chart as client, I am able to authenticate and request market/history data to sierra.

I would appreciate guidance on how to auto populate all symbols from DTC Server into Sierra Chart client.

I tried to go to 'Global -> Symbol Settings' and click Update From Server - I would expect sierra to sent EXCHANGE_LIST_REQUEST to DTC server to receive list of all supported exchanges and follows with SYMBOLS_FOR_EXCHANGE_REQUEST to receive definition of all symbols per exchange.

When I simply send over EXCHANGE_LIST_RESPONSE and/or SECURITY_DEFINITION_RESPONSE just after the login, Sierra closes connection immediately as wrong protocol version is used.

Thank you,
Lukasz

Does anyone knows how to write DTC Server and expose all Exchange / Security definitions to Sierra Chart (client)?

Right now the only method to do what you want is documented here:
Data and Trading Communications (DTC) Protocol Test Client: Populating Symbol List in Sierra Chart

Later on, but we do not know when, the Find Symbol window will support making requests to the connected DTC server for symbols.

You must be doing something wrong in regards to this:
When I simply send over EXCHANGE_LIST_RESPONSE and/or SECURITY_DEFINITION_RESPONSE just after the login, Sierra closes connection immediately as wrong protocol version is used.
Check the Message Log for why the connection is closing.
