Operator FIXMessageToStream
SPL standard and specialized toolkits > com.ibm.streams.financial 2.1.0 > com.ibm.streams.financial.adapters.fix > FIXMessageToStream
The FIXMessageToStream operator takes a valid Financial Information eXchange (FIX) Message and converts it to a stream for processing.
Any Attribute from a FIX message can be requested as part of the output stream.
The operator requires that the fields are requested in the order in which they would appear in a FIX message.
Repeating groups within the FIX message are retrieved into fields of type list<> where the list contains the repeating groups.

A schema for the output stream consists of a composite type that contains the FIX message fields.
- Properties
-
- Optional: false
- TupleMutationAllowed: false
- WindowPunctuationOutputMode: Free
Required: dictionaryFile
Optional: numberNoValue, propertiesFile, stringNoValue
- dictionaryFile
This parameter is the fully qualified path to a file which contains the data dictionary used to interpret the contents of the message.
- Properties
-
- Type: rstring
- Cardinality: 1
- Optional: false
- ExpressionMode: AttributeFree
- numberNoValue
This optional parameter is used to provide a value for numeric fields when the field that is requested does not exist.
- Properties
-
- Type: int32
- Cardinality: 1
- Optional: true
- ExpressionMode: AttributeFree
- propertiesFile
This optional parameter is the fully qualified path to a file which allows us to rename FIX field names as defined by the FIX data dictionary into names more suitable for the streams programmer. Field names can be renamed by using either the field name or field number as defined by the FIX specification. Each field to be renamed goes on a separate line. The content of the file would take on the following format. For example, to rename the TotNoOrders (68) field to totalOrderCount the properties file would need to contain one of the following lines:
totalOrderCount=TotNoOrders totalOrderCount=68- Properties
