FIX Input Adapter

Adapter type: fixplugin. The Sybase Event Stream Processor FIX adapter is an implementation of the opensource QuickFIX engine that has been integrated with the Sybase Event Stream Processor API.

The FIX adapter:

The FIX adapter requires a separately purchased license that you can obtain from the Sybase Product Download Site. It supports the standard SySAM grace period, which means you can run it unlicensed for 30 days. After this period, you cannot run the adapter without a valid license.

If you purchased your product from Sybase or an authorized Sybase reseller, go to the secure Sybase Product Download Center (SPDC) at https://sybase.subscribenet.com and log in to generate license keys. The license generation process may vary slightly, depending on whether you ordered directly from Sybase or from a Sybase reseller.

If you ordered your product under an SAP® contract and were directed to download from SAP Service Marketplace (SMP), you can use SMP at http://service.sap.com/licensekeys to generate license keys for Sybase products that use SySAM 2-based licenses.
