Echo Configuration Between FIXEdge and Simple Client

Install FIXEdge (Simple Installation)

Add new Session to FIXEdge.properties ( c:\B2BITS\FIXEdge\v.5.7.0.62818\FixEdge1\conf\FIXEdge.properties )

FIXEdge.properties

FixLayer.FixEngine.Sessions = TestEchoAcceptor

FixLayer.FixEngine.Session.TestEchoAcceptor.Version = FIX44
FixLayer.FixEngine.Session.TestEchoAcceptor.StorageType = persistentMM
FixLayer.FixEngine.Session.TestEchoAcceptor.Role = Acceptor
FixLayer.FixEngine.Session.TestEchoAcceptor.SenderCompID = FIXEDGE
FixLayer.FixEngine.Session.TestEchoAcceptor.TargetCompID = FIXECHOCLIENT
FixLayer.FixEngine.Session.TestEchoAcceptor.EncryptMethod = 0
FixLayer.FixEngine.Session.TestEchoAcceptor.InSeqNum = 0
FixLayer.FixEngine.Session.TestEchoAcceptor.OutSeqNum = 0
FixLayer.FixEngine.Session.TestEchoAcceptor.Description = FIX session for echo testing
FixLayer.FixEngine.Session.TestEchoAcceptor.StartTime = 08:00
FixLayer.FixEngine.Session.TestEchoAcceptor.TerminateTime = 23:59
FixLayer.FixEngine.Session.TestEchoAcceptor.RecreateOnLogout = true
FixLayer.FixEngine.Session.TestEchoAcceptor.IntradayLogoutTolerance = true
FixLayer.FixEngine.Session.TestEchoAcceptor.ForceSeqNumReset = false
FixLayer.FixEngine.Session.TestEchoAcceptor.SocketPriority = EVEN
FixLayer.FixEngine.Session.TestEchoAcceptor.HandleSeqNumAtLogon = false

Configure BL rules ( c:\B2BITS\FIXEdge\v.5.7.0.62818\FixEdge1\conf\BL_Config.xml )

BL_Config.xml

Run FixEdge (e.g using run script )
c:\B2BITS\FIXEdge\v.5.7.0.62818\bin\FixEdge1.run.cmd
Open SimpleClient. (It can be found in Fix Antenna package). And create new session as Initiator:
Session -> Create New ...
SenderCompID = FIXECHOCLIENT
TargetCompID = FIXEDGE
FIX Version = 4.4
Remote Port = 8901 (ListenPort parameter in FE engine.properties -> c:\B2BITS\FIXEdge\v.5.7.0.62818\FixEdge1\conf\engine.properties )

Troubleshooting:
FixEdge should be checked for running state after step 4. File c:\B2BITS\FIXEdge\v.5.7.0.62818\FixEdge1\log\FIXEdge.log should have no [ERROR] or [FATAL] messages.
FE and SimpleClient are using same license.
SeqNum problems can be resolved by cleaning logs on both sides.
