Installation steps
In order to setup set up REST TA for FIX Edge you need:
1. Copy the FIXEdge distribution package to the FIX Edge home:
Unpack the content of the distribution package to the FIXEdge root directory, e.g. to the C:\FIXEdge.
2. Enable TA to be used by FIX EdgeFIXEdge.
In the ‘Transport Layer Section’ of the FIXEdge.properties, add REST TA to the list of supported adapters:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
TransportLayer.TransportAdapters = TransportLayer.RestTA |
Note: if If you use other transport adapters, just add TransportLayer.RestTA to the end of the list, e.g:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
TransportLayer.TransportAdapters = TransportLayer.SmtpTA, TransportLayer.RestTA |
3. Configure TA.
3.1. Add the REST TA section to the FIXEdge.properties.
...
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
TransportLayer.TransportAdapters = TransportLayer.RestTA TransportLayer.RestTA.Description = REST Acceptor TA TransportLayer.RestTA.DllName = bin/rest_acceptor_ta-vc10-MD-x64.dll TransportLayer.RestTA.Type = DLL TransportLayer.RestTA.ClientID = RestAcceptorClient TransportLayer.RestTA.LogCategory = RestAcceptorClient TransportLayer.RestTA.ListenPort = 8001 TransportLayer.RestTA.FIXVersion = FIX50 TransportLayer.RestTA.ConversionMethod = NumericTagValueMapping TransportLayer.RestTA.ValidateFIXMessage = ValidateAndWarn |
Note: sample Sample settings could be copied from the RESTAcceptorTA.properties file (in the doc folder of FIXEdge distribution package) to the FIXEdge.properties file.
3.2. Optionally, configure logging for the received and sent messages in a separate log category:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
Log.RESTTA.Device = File Log.RESTTA.DebugIsOn = true Log.RESTTA.TraceIsOn = true Log.RESTTA.NoteIsOn = true Log.RESTTA.File.Name = FIXEdge1/log/RESTTA.log |
4. Restart FIX Edge FIXEdge to apply the changes .
Routing Messages from REST TA
