File FIX Output Adapter

Adapter type: fixfile_out. The File FIX Output adapter writes stream data as FIX messages to a file.

Each stream hosts FIX messages of a certain type. The adapter writes messages to file in an adjoining manner, with no line feeds. It generates the following FIX fields:
  • BeginString
  • BodyLength
  • MsgType
  • CheckSum

Write the remaining fields in appropriate order in stream columns. Ensure the names of the stream columns correspond to the FIX protocol specification.

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