Upgrade of the existing ICE Private Order Feed Drop Copy setup

This section shows how to upgrade existing version of ICE Private Order Feed Drop Copy solution. It is assumed that after the upgrade:

Upgrade Preparation

  1. Make sure you have sufficient administration permissions for further uninstall/install procedures.
  2. Download new ICE Private Order Feed Drop Copy solution package for the corresponding OS version from the Client Space;
  3. Stop the FIXEdge instance;
  4. Stop the FIXICC-agent instance;
  5. Remove all the files except servers.xml from FIXICC's working dir .fixicc/dev normally placed in C:\Users\%USER%\AppData\Roaming directory;
  6. Make a backup copy of your current installation (configuration and binaries);
  7. Make a backup copy of your current license (engine.license).
    If your license has expired or was lost, contact sales@btobits.com to obtain the new one;

Upgrade Process

  1. Upgrade FIXEdge:
    1. For Windows version:
      Replace* all the files in <bin> directory with new binaries from the package;

    2. For Linux version:
      Replace* files in  <bin> directory with new binaries from the package - all except *.sh files;

  2. Upgrade FIXICC:
    1. Replace* the whole <fixicc-agent> directory with new one from the package;
    2. Replace* the whole <fixicc> directory with new one from the package;

    "Replace" in this context means that files should be deleted from the current FIXEdge directory and new files from the package should be added there. This clarification is made in order to avoid the situation when two (or more) same libraries with different versions appear in the directory as it may cause issues.

  3. Replace <jre> directory with new one from the package;
  4. Update all the files in the FIXEdge /conf directory with files from the new package except the following ones which should be preserved from your current installation:
    1. engine.properties
    2. FIXEdge.properties
    3. BL_Config.xml
  5. Start the FIXICC-agent instance;

  6. Start the FIXEdge via FIX Integrated Control Center (FIXICC)

In order to ensure that upgraded ICE ICE Private Order Feed Drop Copy solution was successfully setup, please check the FixEdge.log file:

  • Find the following record with the target FIXEdge version:

    2016-09-20 10:46:19,459 UTC   INFO    [CC_Layer]  5552  FIXEdge Version X.Y.Z (rxyz) started
  • Make sure there are no [ERROR] records in the log file.

Upgrade of the existing configuration files to FIXEdge 6.7.1

This section contains a list of changes that need to be made to update the  ICE Private Order Feed Drop Copy Solution configuration. The upgrade process is similar to the process described in this section Upgrade of the existing ICE Private Order Feed Drop Copy setup. But, no migration of existing data from the current database to the new upgraded database takes place (means new clean Database from the package to be setup).

ICE Private Order Feed Drop Copy configuration update (instead of Upgrade of the existing ICE Private Order Feed Drop Copy setup, step 4)

Update all the files in the FIXEdge /conf directory with files from the new package except the following ones which should be preserved from your current installation:

  1. engine.properties
  2. FIXEdge.properties
  3. BL_Config.xml

Adjust ICE Private Order Feed Drop Copy configuration (typically located here ‘C:/B2BITS/FIXEdge/FIXEdge1/conf/’). Make a backup copy of your current configuration before.
