FIX Engine Configuration and Administration Using My webMethods

Using My webMethods, you can define the connection details to communicate with the FIX engine and send operator commands.

Integration with Trading Networks

Trading Networks stores all messages that FIX Module sends and receives. Trading Networks also provides message monitoring features for tracking the status of message transmission.

Message Formatting

Creates messages in the format required for the receiving system. FIX Module uses IS document types to transform data generated by your internal (back-end) system into FIX format before sending the message to your partner. FIX Module also transforms messages received from your partners from FIX format into an IS document.

Message Routing and Processing

Messaging features allow you to exchange FIX messages with your partners through the FIX engine. (To send and receive messages, you must have Trading Networks installed.)

Reliable Messaging

FIX Module provides reliable message delivery when sending and receiving messages. FIX Module automatically detects if the connection to the FIX engine is lost and attempts to reestablish the connection until it is restored or the retry limit is met. If there are any unsent messages, the module adds them to the queue and re-sends them as soon as the connection is reestablished.

Integration Server Clustering

FIX Module operates in Integration Server cluster mode to provide high system availability. In cluster mode only one node of the cluster is connected to the FIX engine, but any node in the cluster can send a FIX message (routed through the connected node). The node that is connected to the FIX engine also receives incoming FIX messages and stores them in the Trading Networks database.

Communication with Appia Server

Allows operators to send commands to the Appia server from the FIX Module Administration page.
