Connection Plug-In

The Connection Plug-in allows connectivity between the FIX adapter and a FIX data source, such as a counterparty FIX session, a file system, or a database table.

Three distinct implementations of the Connection Plug-in are provided with the FIX Adapter: the QuickFIX Plug-in, the File Plug-in, and the Database Plug-in.

• QuickFIX Plug-In
  QuickFIX is a full feature open source FIX engine.
• Database Plug-In
  The Database Plug-in allows the FIX adapter to read and write FIX messages to a database table, via ODBC.
• File Plug-In
  The File Plug-in allows the FIX adapter to read and write FIX messages to the file system.
• Writing a Custom Connection Plug-In
  The Connection Plug-in is highly customizable and unique implementations can be written using C or C++.
