[druid129]

I am a user of TS 2000i (Global Sever 5.00.0822).
I give of discharge the contract continue of the Future DAX
AX 1!-DT ..... but I do not receive information in the TS2000i and yes in eSignal.

Please he would be grateful for any help. A greeting

The 1! continuous contracts are not available with third party programs as they are created at client software level and not at server level

Following up on my prior reply.
Even though you can't use the 1! symbols you can still retrieve data for expired contracts and create your own continuous contracts in GlobalServer. You just need to use a different symbol for expired contracts which is structured as follows
[root symbol] [month code][4digit year code][-exchange (if applicable)]
This means that if you now wanted to retrieve the data for the March contract of the DAX you would use AX H2005-DT.
In GlobalServer you can change the symbol of the current contract to the one for which you want to download the data, then use the Plugin to retrieve the data. Once you are done with the process you change the symbol back to the current one. Also you may want to set the expiration to Pattern 81 which prevents the contract from expiring.
Hope this helps
