IAF configuration
When acting as a client to HotSpot, the IAF should be configured with the HotSpot specific configuration file, the distribution version of which can be found here:
${APAMA_HOME}/adapters/config/FIX-HotSpot.xml.dist
HotSpot uses a custom data dictionary . This file must be referenced by the "QuickFIX.DataDictionary" transport property. For example, for HotSpot FIX platform:
<property name="QuickFIX.DataDictionary" value="${APAMA_HOME}/adapters/config/FIX42-HotSpot.xml"/>
The IAF configuration file should contain appropriate host, port, sender and target CompID parameters.
For the MDA Mode the path of the correct adapter configuration file should also be provided using the property, for HotSpot FIX platform:
<property name="AdapterConfiguration" value="${APAMA_HOME}/adapters/config/FIXTransport-BaseFIXLibrary-HotSpot.xml" />
The supplied sample configuration file (FIX-HotSpot.xml.dist) contains placeholders for the necessary configuration parameters. This configuration file defines two connections (HOTSPOT_FIX_MARKET_TRANSPORT and HOTSPOT_FIX_TRADING_TRANSPORT) using the event channel "HOTSPOT_FIX" for communication with the correlator.
