Introduction

The Financial Information Exchange (FIX) adapter enables you to send and receive FIX messages from the Sybase® CEP server.

The FIX adapter is an out of process adapter, and can function as both an input and output adapter.

The adapter works with two plug-ins to process the FIX messages.

The FIX adapter works with these two plug-ins and the Sybase CEP Server to publish to, and subscribe from, streams on the Sybase CEP Server.

Default implementations of the Connection and Data Mapping plug-ins have been provided. These allow for the direct exchange of FIX messages between a counterparty FIX server. They also enable the reading and writing of FIX messages to a file or database table.

Custom implementations of the plug-ins can be written to extend the connectivity of the FIX adapter to other FIX message sources.
