Problems with SMI futures & IB connection

[garyford]

Hi,
I'm running NT 6.5.1000.6 with a full multi-broker license. I have just setup an account with IB and have installed Trader Workstation on my PC. I can connect to IB without any problems, and I can get several futures contracts - all on Eurex - up on the NT charts and on the Static Super DOM without difficulty.

The only Eurex futures contract I cannot get up on NT is the FSMI (Swiss Market Index). I can see the data within IB's Trader Workstation, but when I try to load an SMI chart in NT I get the following error message:

'Error in requesting historical data from IB. No security definition has been found for the request(200)'

I have subscribed to the level II data for Eurex through IB, and I don't think it's a problem with that because I can get data for other Eurex futures contracts (DAX, BUND, BOBL), also, if I try to request data for the S&P Emini, I get an error message from Trader Workstation to say that I'm not subscribed to GLOBEX. Which is correct, because I haven't subscribed! But this error message doesn't appear when requesting SMI data.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've figured it out.

The default settings for NT's Instrument Manager for SMI is to use Eurex as the exchange, it should be changed to EurexSW.
