  1. Install FIXEdge (Simple Installation)

  2. 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

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

    BL_Config.xml
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<FIXEdge>
	<BusinessLayer> 
		<!-- Rule messages from Simple Client send back switching SenderCompID and TargetCompID --> 
		<Rule>
			<Source> 
				<FixSession SenderCompID="FIXECHOCLIENT" TargetCompID="FIXEDGE"/>
			</Source> 
			<Action>
				<Send>
					<FixSession SenderCompID="FIXEDGE" TargetCompID="FIXECHOCLIENT"/>
				</Send>
			</Action>
		</Rule>
		<DefaultRule>
			<Action>
				<DoNothing/>
			</Action>
		</DefaultRule> 
	</BusinessLayer> 
</FIXEdge>


  4.  Run FixEdge.
    E.g. via run script:

    • Windows: c:\B2BITS\FIXEdge\bin\FixEdge1.run.cmd

    • Linux: /home/user/B2BITS/FIXEdge/bin/./FixEdge1.run.sh


  5.  Open SimpleClient. (It can be found in Fix Antenna package). And create a new session as Initiator:

    Session -> Create New ...
    SenderCompID = FIXECHOCLIENT
    TargetCompID = FIXEDGE
    FIX Version = 4.4
    Remote Port = 8901 (ListenPort parameter in FE engine.properties -> FIXEdge\FixEdge1\conf\engine.properties )
    Remote Host = localhost (or IP address/hostname of the FIXEdge server)

  6. Send message from SimpleClient ( Pipe character is used to represent SOH character )

    New Order - Echo test.msg
    8=FIX.4.4|9=175|35=D|49=FIXECHOCLIENT|56=FIXEDGE|34=2|52=20131125-09:37:09.680|11=Order#1|21=1|100=1|55=TESTSMBL|54=1|60=20131124-04:11:46.768|38=20000|40=2|44=34.7|10=203|

     File contained SOH symbols: NewOrderEchoTestMessage.txt

     

  7. Echo message from FIXEdge is received:

Receive.msg
Incoming message: 8=FIX.4.49=14935=D49=FIXEDGE56=FIXECHOCLIENT34=352=20140228-14:43:19.01811=Order#121=1100=155=TESTSMBL54=160=20131124-04:11:46.76838=2000040=244=34.710=074


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.
