The FIX Client Simulator 3.11 release introduces Kafka session integration, supporting existing features - the Send Message Tab, Auto-increment and Replay Logs - to work seamlessly with Kafka.
The FCS Kafka session supports the following functionality: - Producer & Consumer Creation
- Configure topics, groups, optional keys, and more.
- Supports SASL/Plain (username/password) or no authentication.
- Optional SSL/TLS encryption with the ability to validate certificates.
- User can send or receive a FIX message or arbitrary text (non-FIX content) via Kafka sessions.
- FIX-specific features (like the context-driven workflows, validation, and auto-increment) are supported but require proper FIX tag=value formatting.
- Automatically increment fields (e.g., sequence numbers) in FIX messages, just like in FIX sessions.
- Replay FIX message logs using Kafka session, facilitating troubleshooting, performance review, and re-testing.
