File FIX Input Adapter

Adapter type: fixfile_in. The File FIX Input adapter reads FIX messages from a file and writes them as stream records.

Each stream hosts FIX messages of a certain type. The adapter ignores messages of any other FIX type. It writes all FIX fields, except the following, in the same order in stream columns:
  • BeginString
  • BodyLength
  • MsgType
  • CheckSum

Ensure 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.
