Socket FIX Output Adapter

Adapter type: fixsocket_out. The Socket FIX Output adapter writes stream data as FIX messages to a TCP server socket.

Each stream hosts FIX messages of a certain type. The adapter sends messages contiguously, with no line feeds. It generates the following FIX fields:
  • BeginString
  • BodyLength
  • MsgType
  • CheckSum

Ensure that the rest of the fields are stored in the appropriate order in stream columns, and 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.
