File FIX Input Adapter

Adapter type: fixfile_in. The File FIX Input adapter reads FIX messages from a file and writes them as stream records. The File Fix Input adapter uses strftime() format codes.

Each stream hosts FIX messages of a certain type. The adapter ignores messages of any other FIX type. It writes all FIX fields, except the following, in the same order in stream columns:

BeginString
BodyLength
MsgType
CheckSum

Ensure the names of the stream columns correspond to the FIX protocol specification.

When sandboxing is enabled, contact your system administrator to determine where you need to place your input files. The system administrator enables the sandboxing through ESP Cockpit and specifies the directory in which the adapter will read and write files.

If you use the CCL ATTACH ADAPTER statement to attach an adapter, you must supply the adapter type.

Property Label	Description
FIX Version	Property ID: fixVersion Type: `choice` (Required) Version of the FIX protocol. Default value is 4.2.
FIX Message Type	Property ID: fixMessageType Type: `string` (Required) Type of messages hosted by the stream. No default value.
File	Property ID: fileName Type: `filename` (Required) Path to the input file containing FIX messages. No default value. Use a forward slash for both UNIX and Windows paths.
SecondDate Format	Property ID: seconddateFormat Type: `string` (Advanced) SecondDate format. For example, `%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S` is the default value.
MsDate Format	Property ID: msdateFormat Type: `string` (Advanced) MsDate format. For example, `%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S` is the default value.
PropertySet	Property ID: propertyset Type: `string` (Advanced) Specifies the name of the property set. Property sets are reusable sets of properties that are stored in the project configuration file. Using these sets allows you to move adapter configuration properties out of the CCL file and into the CCR file. If you specify the same properties in the project configuration file and the ATTACH ADAPTER statement, the values in the property set override the values defined in the ATTACH ADAPTER statement. No default value.
