I think you have to pick up the correct uid field from LocalSet (or
Contract?) table and tell shim 'tick add xxx 1', e.i. xxx = 203 would
collect ticks for the Bund future. The output is found by default in the
file ShimText. For streaming tick data on could turn the destination
file into a fifo and pick the fields of interest from there. 

A good source for usage documentation are the examples in the bin/
directory.
