The SMTP Transport Adaptor (hereinafter the SMTP adaptor) is intended to send FIX messages from FIXServer to from FIXEdge server to clients using SMTP protocol.

...

Note that all changes in properties file are applied only after FixEdge FIXEdge restart.

Integration with

...

FIXEdge

Execute the following steps to integrate the SMTP adaptor into the FixEdgeFIXEdge:

  1. Open the FixEdge FIXEdge properties file (FIXEdge.properties by default).
  2. Find 'TransportLayer.TransportAdapters' property
    1. Add 'TransportLayer.TransportAdapters' property in case it does not exist

  3. Set 'TransportLayer.SmtpTA' to the value of 'TransportLayer.TransportAdapters' property:

    Code Block
    languagexml
    TransportLayer.TransportAdapters = TransportLayer.SmtpTA

    1. If 'TransportLayer.TransportAdapters' property already has a value - append ',TransportLayer.SmtpTA' to the value:

      Code Block
      languagexml
      TransportLayer.TransportAdapters = ...,TransportLayer.SFSAdaptorDLL,TransportLayer.SmtpTA

  4. Add 'TransportLayer.SmtpTA.Description' property with value - SMTP adaptor name:

    Code Block
    languagexml
    TransportLayer.SmtpTA.Description = SMTP Transport Adaptor DLL

  5. Add 'TransportLayer.SmtpTA.DllName' property with value - path to the SMTP adaptor dll:

    Code Block
    languagexml
    TransportLayer.SmtpTA.DllName = bin/SMTPAdaptorDll.dll

  6. Add 'TransportLayer.SmtpTA.Type' property with 'DLL'value:

    Code Block
    TransportLayer.SmtpTA.Type = DLL

  7. Add the set of default properties:

    Code Block
    TransportLayer.SmtpTA.SMTPSessions.DefaultServerName = mail.test_test.com
TransportLayer.SmtpTA.SMTPSessions.DefaultServerPort = 25
TransportLayer.SmtpTA.SMTPSessions.DefaultSendingTimeout = 10
TransportLayer.SmtpTA.SMTPSessions.DefaultConnectionTimeout = 10
TransportLayer.SmtpTA.SMTPSessions.DefaultSmartEmailProcessing = false

  8. Add 'TransportLayer.SmtpTA.SMTPSessions property with value - the set of SMTP client's names:

    Code Block
    TransportLayer.SmtpTA.SMTPSessions = TestSmtp

  9. Add properties for each client, like this:

    Code Block
    TransportLayer.SmtpTA.SMTPSession.TestSmtp.ServerName = mail.test_test.com
TransportLayer.SmtpTA.SMTPSession.TestSmtp.ServerPort = 25
TransportLayer.SmtpTA.SMTPSession.TestSmtp.To = jsg@test_test_btobits.com
TransportLayer.SmtpTA.SMTPSession.TestSmtp.From = jsg@test_test_btobits.com
TransportLayer.SmtpTA.SMTPSession.TestSmtp.CC = 
TransportLayer.SmtpTA.SMTPSession.TestSmtp.BCC = 
  10. Restart FixEdge the FIXEdge server to apply changes.

After changes are applied, the FixEdge FIXEdge properties file may look like this:

...

By default the SMTP adaptor puts log messages into the FIXEdge log. Execute the following steps to configure the SMTP adaptor logging into a separate file:

  1. Open FixEdge the FIXEdge properties file

  2. Add 'Log.SmtpAdaptorTransportLayer.SmtpTA.File.Name' property with value - path and name of the SMTP adaptor log file.

    Code Block
    Log.SmtpAdaptorTransportLayer.SmtpTA.File.Name = SMTP.log

  3. Restart FixEdgeFIXEdge server

When the SMTP adaptor starts the following record will be written into the log file (xxx is the SMTP adaptor version):

...

Troubleshooting

Problem
Solution

FixEdge FIXEdge start fails and the FixEdge FIXEdge log file contains the following record:

[FATAL] 20070215-11:42:25.250 - Transport Layer has failed to initialize: Error loading DLL './/../SMTPAdaptorAddin.dll '. : The specified module could not be found. (126)

FixEdge FIXEdge is unable to find the SMTP adaptor library file. Make sure that 'TransportLayer.SmtpTA.DllName' contains valid path and name.

FixEdge FIXEdge start fails and the FixEdge FIXEdge log file contains the following record:

[FATAL] 20070215-11:45:12.312 - Transport Layer has failed to initialize: Cannot find the 'TransportLayer.SmtpTA.XXX' property.

The SMTP adaptor was not configured properly. The required 'TransportLayer.SmtpTA.XXX' property does not exist in the FixEdge FIXEdge property file.
FixEdge FIXEdge is started but the FixEdge FIXEdge log file does not contain the 'SMTP Adaptor v.xxx started' record.

Make sure that the SMTP adaptor was configured properly in the FixEdge FIXEdge property file:

  1. 'TransportLayer.SmtpTA' added into the 'TransportLayer.TransportAdapters' property
  2. 'Log.SmtpAdaptorTransportLayer.SmtpTA.File.Name' property that redirects the SMTP adaptor log into another file that does not exist.

Make sure that the FixEdge FIXEdge log file does not contain any related error messages.
