FIX 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. This license supports the standard SySAM grace period, meaning it can run unlicensed for 30 days. After this period, the adapter cannot run 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.
