Socket FIX Input Adapter

Adapter type: fixsocket_in. The Socket FIX Input adapter reads FIX messages from a TCP server socket and writes them as stream records.

Each stream hosts FIX messages of a certain type. The adapter discards messages of any other FIX type, and stores FIX fields in the same order in stream columns. The following fields are exceptions to this:
  • BeginString
  • BodyLength
  • MsgType
  • CheckSum

Ensure that 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.
