Message Exchange and Routing
FIX Module integrates with Trading Networks to provide simple and reliable message processing for all messages exchanged with your partners.
*Inbound Message Routing. FIX Module receives a new message by registering a listener object with the Appia server. When a new message arrives, FIX Module translates the message into IData format, and then forwards the message to Trading Networks for processing. Trading Networks stores the raw FIX message and the translated IData FIX message in the database (as one record) and uses the profile, document type, and assigned processing rule to process the message accordingly.
*Outbound Message Processing. FIX Module uses the wm.fix.tn.trp:send service to process outbound messages. This service executes the following steps:
*Formats the raw FIX message using the wm.fix.format:convertIDataToFix service.
*Stores the message in the Trading Networks database.
*Sends the message to Appia.
