Running the ATA Samples

The ATA includes algorithmic trading strategies that are injected into an Apama correlator, and an Apama dashboard that supports trading, displays information about the strategies, and allows you to configure firewall rules. Included scripts allow you to start the runtime pieces and demonstrate ATA capabilities.

You can run ATA on a single machine, or you can run the correlator on one machine and run multiple dashboards that connect to it remotely. You might do this for example, if you wanted to install the correlator on a machine running Linux. The dashboards must be run on Windows machines.

Note:

Before you can run ATA, you must install and configure Apama and the CMF as described in Capital Markets Foundation.

The CMF installation makes it easy to run the pre-defined ATA immediately on the local machine.

The ATA is copied into the %APAMA_WORK% directory during installation and run from there.

Then, in Developing and Deploying Custom ATA Applications, you see how to import the projects into Software AG Designer, so you can define, test, and deploy your custom ATA.
