NT7 freezes on connect to Zen-Fire

[ATI user]

import from 6.5 worked fine except for zenfire connection....NT7 freezes....comp does not freeze fortunately

so far I have converted on custom indicator to 7 by adding bool and pixel offset to Drawtext and bool to DrawLine and DrawHorizontalLine

replay runs super fast on my quad

next step is live feed

well done on 7 so far ....the multi time frame charts are great

Do you mean if you try to connect to Zen-Fire on NT7, a connection is never established and the application is locked?

[ATI user]

7 seems locked however, after approx 6 mins, I got several hundred messages (loop?)....which are DB job related a possibly nothing to do with zenfire connection...see attached.

prior to this I was closing 7 via ctrl/alt/del

[ATI user]

sorry,....zenfire is connected...took a long time.....then got the DB errors

[ATI user]

there is still a problem connecting.

I disconnected from zen and ran some market replay

then tried to connect to zen ....NT6.5 takes approx 40-60 seconds to connect to zen....during that time you must sit and wait as NT does not respond at all

that is the same thing happening in 7 except after 20 mins it still has not connected

ATI user,

Be sure you are on 32bit for connecting to Zen. I am unable to reproduce this delay on my end. I see normal 6.5 lengths to connect.

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

To clarify: There is a small delay of 2-3 secs on ZenFire connect (including NT "lock up") which is the SAME as NT6.5. This is related to windows loading the required DLLs in memory.

Any further delay would have a different cause. I suspect there is something wrong with your DB (migrated from NT6.5?). Please try removing the file <my documents>/NinjaTrader7/db/NinjaTrader.sdf to give it a fresh start.

It is possible a DB issue, since I am getting messages about the strategies I had in version 6.5, even though I have not migrated any of them as yet.
Happens whenever I am trying to connect with Mirus or IQFEED. Neither of them connects. See last 3 lines extract below.

Right, the issue should be gone as soon as you migrated your NinjaScript strategies.

Josh
Yes I am on 32 bit ...vista

Dierk
I did get 100+ db error messages (see attached pic above)
I removed the Ninjatrader.sdf file and it is now over 5 mins and counting on connection attempt
Should I remove all the migrated db files from 7

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

Not sure what file you removed. If you removed the file as per my post #7 you definitely will NOT get the error message as per your post #3.

correct...

I removed the file you said

I did not get errors...however it did not connect after 10 mins either

the db errors came on first connection after migration yesterday...since then it has not connected....i.e. I have only connected once, after long delay, and that is only time I got the errors

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

Please try this:
- uninstall NT7
- manually delete COMPLETE folder <my documents>/NinjaTrader7
- download and install NT7 again
- start NT and DO NOT migrate
- enter your account connection info again
- try to connect

This should work no problem

[ATI user]

Thanks Dierk

That worked...connected in 6-7 seconds....getting live feed plots on plain chart

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

Glad it's working for you now. Not sure what caused your issue...
