Outbound Message Processing

FIX Module performs all the processing steps required to send outgoing messages. Using the wm.fix.tn.trp:send service, FIX Module converts messages from the original IS document format into the FIX standard format (known as a raw FIX message). It stores each outgoing message in the Trading Networks database and sends the message to the FIX engine (Appia server) for transmission to the business partner.

Every message is stored in Trading Networks with a status that indicates its transmission state to the FIX engine: either FIX_SENT, FIX_QUEUED or FIX_SEND_ERROR. For more information about these statuses or message storage and queuing, see Message Storage and Queuing.

Note:FIX Module always verifies that there is a connection to the FIX engine before sending messages. In the event that a session is not connected, FIX Module automatically issues a connect operator command before sending the message.

When using Integration Server clustering, FIX Module can send a message from any node in the cluster.
