Introduction

FIXEdge offers a flexible solution for Business Rules purposed to provide routing, transferring, and data manipulations for FIX messages that go through the Business Layer of FIXEdge. In addition to XML Rules, there are two ways to enhance the flexibility of message transferring and data manipulation. Those ways are scripting with JavaScript and XSLT. To use this feature properly, scripts should be written in one of the scripting languages and assigned to the Script instruction of Action section in a Business Rule.

The scripting subsystem gives the user the following advantages:

  • Saves time spent on business logic implementation
  • Flexibility and simplicity of modification
  • Does not bring a significant performance breakdown

FIXEdge uses SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine


Business Rule scripting with JavaScript

It is enough to mention that the script is a JavaScript in the Script tag, in order to run the script and do the proper transformations. This structure facilitates users with all the standard Javascript features and functionality. In addition to this, it enables users to use functions that provide access to the FIX message inside data and allows manipulations with fields and groups as well as whole FIX messages.

JS FIX functionality

A trivial example of a complete JS script for a business rule is shown below:  

//take the value the 11th tag from the fix message and get the last 4 characters from it
//assign the new  value for the tag 11 with format BBBBSSSSCCYYMMDD
//where
//BBBB - any 4 characters
//SSSS - last 4 characters from the old value of field 11
//CC - century
//YY- year
//MM - month
//DD - day
 
field_11 = getStringField(11);
if(field_11.length() < 4)
  return;
last4 = field_11.slice(field_11.length() - 4);
currDate = getCurrentDateStr(YYYYMMDDUtc);
century = currDate.slice(1, 3);
century++;
result = "bbbb" + last4 + century + currDate.substr(3);
setStringField(11, result);

Error handling during script execution 

In case of syntax error in script - script execution will be terminated and failed. There is no way to handle syntax errors in script during script execution. User able to stop script execution using throw statement, the result in this case will be the same. User must be able to verify and handle logical errors using verification functions (like isNaN, isMessageValid(), etc) in condition statements.

Logging in JavaScript

print(<text>)

Example Code

print (getCurrentDateStr(DATETIMEUtc));

Execution of this line results in the following record in the application log:

[NOTE]  20131023-08:28:53.651 [4320] [../FixEdge/conf/test.js] - JavaScript '../FixEdge/conf/test.js' output: 20131023-08:28:53

Operations with session

startSession(<sessionName>)

Starts session "sessionName"

Example Code

startSession("StartByEvent")
Starts the "StartByEvent" session

Please note:

  1. The session will not be visible in FIXICC or manageable (start, disconnect, etc) from FIXICC/BL/JS/scheduler.
  2. The termination and the disconnection occur with async way after rule completion. In case of fail <OnRuleFailEvent> will be called.

Operations with messages across BL rules

setCtxKV(key,value)

Example Code

setCtxKV("messageID","123")

The function sets the value to the key to transfer information about the message between different BL rules. If the function argument's type is not a string then the function throws an exception.

getCtxKV(key,[defaultValue]) 

Example Code

var id = getCtxKV("messageID")
var id = getCtxKV("messageID","0")

The function gets the value of the key from another BL rule.

If the function argument's type is not a string then the function throws an exception.

If the default value is specified and there is a key stored in the context then the function returns the value stored for the key.

If the specified key is not stored in the context:

  • If the default value is specified then the function returns the default value.
  • If the default value is not specified then the function throws an exception.

delCtxKV(key)

Example Code

delCtxKV("messageID")

The function deletes the value of the key. If the function's argument type is not a string then the function throws an exception.

Bulk operations with group fields

Available since FIXEdge 6.12.0 

bulkSetStringField(<group handle>, <starting entry>, <fieldTag>, <value>, [<max count>])

Populates multiple entries' specific tag with constant value, or copies values from list, depending on value type.

Numeration of <starting_entry> starts with 0.

Example Code 1 

setNumField(268, 200);
hndl = getGroup(268);
bulkSetStringField(hndl, 0, 269, '0', 100);
bulkSetStringField(hndl, 100, 269, '1', 100);


Example Code 2 

bid_qty_list = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50];
ask_qty_list = [11, 22, 33];

setNumField(268, bid_qty_list.length + ask_qty_list.length);
hndl = getGroup(268);

bulkSetStringField(hndl, 0, 271, bid_qty_list);
bulkSetStringField(hndl, bid_qty_list.length, 271, ask_qty_list);

Example 1

Resizes group 268 (NoMDEntries) to 200

Gets a handle on group 268 (NoMDEntries)

For entries 0 - 99 set tag 269 (MDEntryType) to '0' ('Bid')

For entries 100 - 199 set tag 269 (MDEntryType) to '1' ('offer')

This is equivalent to code:

for (var i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
setStringField(hndl, i, 269, '0');
}

for (var i = 100; i < 200; i++) {
setStringField(hndl, i, 269, '1');
}

Gets a handle on group 268 (NoMDEntries)

For entries 0-4, copy values from bid_qty_list, so that entry[i][271] = bid_qty_list[i]

For entries 5-7, copy values from ask_qty_list, so that entry[5+i][271] = ask_qty_list[i]

This is equivalent to code:

for (var i = 0; i < bid_qty_list.length; i++) {
setStringField(hndl, i, 271, bid_qty_list[i]);
}

for (var i = 0; i < ask_qty_list.length; i++) {
setStringField(hndl, bid_qty_list.length + i, 271, ask_qty_list[i]);
}

bulkSetStringFieldMapped(<group handle>, <starting entry>, <fieldTag>, <source list>, <key> [, <max count>])

Populates multiple entries' specific tag by copying values from nested elements of source Javascript array.

Numeration of <starting entry> starts with 0.

Numeration of <source list> starts with 0.

Example Code

bids = [ [0.1, 10], [0.2, 20], [0.3, 30], [0.4, 40], [0.5, 50] ] ;

asks = [ [1.1, 11], [2.2, 20], [3.3, 30] ] ;

setNumField(268, bid_qty_list.length + ask_qty_list.length);
hndl = getGroup(268);

bulkSetStringFieldMapped(hndl, 0, 270, bids, 0);
bulkSetStringFieldMapped(hndl, 0, 271, bids, 1);

bulkSetStringFieldMapped(hndl, bid_qty_list.length, 270, bids, 0);
bulkSetStringFieldMapped(hndl, bid_qty_list.length, 271, bids, 1);

For alternative source structure

bids = [ {"price": 0.1, "qty": 10}, 
{"price": 0.2, "qty": 20},
{"price": 0.3, "qty": 30},
{"price": 0.4, "qty": 40},
{"price": 0.5, "qty": 50}] ;

asks = [ {"price": 1.1, "qty": 11},
{"price": 2.2, "qty": 22},
{"price": 3.3, "qty": 33}] ;

setNumField(268, bid_qty_list.length + ask_qty_list.length);
hndl = getGroup(268);

bulkSetStringFieldMapped(hndl, 0, 270, bids, 'price');
bulkSetStringFieldMapped(hndl, 0, 271, bids, 'qty');

bulkSetStringFieldMapped(hndl, bid_qty_list.length, 270, bids, 'price');
bulkSetStringFieldMapped(hndl, bid_qty_list.length, 271, bids, 'qty');

Creates a bids variable with 5 nested pairs of elements, and ask_qty_list with 3 pairs.

Resizes group 268 (NoMDEntries) to 8 (total size of 2 lists)

Gets a handle on group 268 (NoMDEntries)

For entries 0-4, copy Price(270) and Size(271) values from bids;

For entries 5-7, copy Price(270) and Size(271) values from asks.

This is equivalent to code:

for (var i = 0; i < bid_qty_list.length; i++) {
bid = bid_qty_list[i];
setStringField(hndl, i, 270, bid[0]);
setStringField(hndl, i, 271, bid[1]);
}

for (var i = 0; i < ask_qty_list.length; i++) {
ask = ask_qty_list[i];
setStringField(noMDEntries, bid_qty_list.length + i, 270, ask[0]);
setStringField(noMDEntries, bid_qty_list.length + i, 271, ask[1]);
}


For alternative source structure

for (var i = 0; i < bid_qty_list.length; i++) {
bid = bid_qty_list[i];
setStringField(hndl, i, 270, bid['price']);
setStringField(hndl, i, 271, bid['qty']);
}

for (var i = 0; i < ask_qty_list.length; i++) {
ask = ask_qty_list[i];
setStringField(noMDEntries, bid_qty_list.length + i, 270, ask['price']);

Parses a message from the specified string using the FIX44 protocol and replaces the current message with it.

If the 1128 tag is specified in the message for parseMessage(<msg>, <version>) function, then the value of the tag has higher priority during parsing than the version value. For instance:

1128=7 and FIXT11:FIX44 and the message has 1092 tag from FIX 5.0: 
parseMessage("8=FIXT.1.1\x019=114\x0135=D\x011128=7\x0149=TESTI\x0156=TESTA\x0134=2\x0152=20081023-17:03:05\x0111=90001008\x0155=IBM\x0154=1\x0160=20080717-10:00:00\x0138=4000\x0140=1\x011092=0\x0110=171\x01", "FIXT11:FIX44");

- the following error appears:
  2017-09-13 11:28:01,558 UTC   ERROR   [JS_interpreter]  3760  C:\B2BITS\FIXEdge\FIXEdge1\conf\parseMessage.js: failed with error: Tag 1092 is not defined for this message type. Parsing stopped at column: 136 in message D with sequence number 2.


Error Handling Functions

getErrorCode()

Returns an error code (integer value) in an undelivered message event

Example Code:

setStringField(58, "Error (" + getErrorCode() + ") " + getErrorText());


This example assigns the values 'error code' and 'error text' to field 58.

As a result of this function, the content of tag 58 inside the FIX message could be, for example,: "Error (500) Internal server error"

getErrorText()

Returns error text (string value) in an undelivered message event

Example Code:

setStringField(58, "Error (" + getErrorCode() + ") " + getErrorText());

This example assigns the values 'error code' and 'error text' to field 58.

As a result of this function, the content of tag 58 inside the FIX message could be, for example,: "Error (500) Internal server error"

History functions

saveToHistory (<historyName>, <keyFields>, <commonFields>, <expireDateTime>)

Insert a new record in history with name <historyName>. Returns true if the function succeeded and returns false otherwise.

  • <keyFields> - is an array of values of KeyField elements from history definition. Usually, it is a list of fields defining the primary key and should be unique across all inserts.
  • <commonFields>-  is an array of values Field elements from history definition. 
  • <expireDateTime> - String with a timestamp with an expire date-time in ODBC History. The expired fields will be erased from history during the ClearHistory procedure. An empty string means there is no expiration date for the record.

The ExpireDateTime field should be defined both in History and in the Database.

If the History was created with the expireDateTime field and the expireDateTime argument of the saveOrUpdate function is absent then the following ERROR is printed to the log on saving a new record to the History:

ERROR History  '<history_name>' unable to insert: the ExpireDateTime filed is not defined!

The ExpireDateTime field of the History is optional since FIXEdge 6.14.0 release. If the History was created without the ExpireDateTime field then all new records will be inserted in it without expireDateTime value specified in the saveToHistory function. In such a case the warning will be logged:

WARN [Save to history] <history_name>': the ExpireDateTime value is passed but the field was not defined. The value is ignored.

For more details about the history definition please see ODBC History

Example Code:

key = new Array("snd","tgt");
common = new Array("ClOrdID","dest");
saveToHistory("orders", key, common, "20101010-10:52:00");

Insert a new record in the table “orders”.

The inserted data is

SELECT * FROM orders;
+--------------+--------------+---------+------+--------------------+
| SenderCompID | TargetCompID | ClOrdID | Text | ExpireDateTime     |
+--------------+--------------+---------+------+--------------------+
| snd          | tgt          | ClOrdID | dest |  20101010-10:52:00 |
+--------------+--------------+---------+------+--------------------+

updateHistory (<historyName>, <keyFields>, <commonFields>, <expireDateTime>)

Update a record in history with name <historyName> with Primary key defined in <keyFields> array. Returns true if the function succeeded and returns false otherwise.

  • <keyFields> - is an array of values of KeyField elements from history definition. Usually, it is a list of fields defining the primary key and should be unique across all inserts.
  • <commonFields>-  is an array of values Field elements from history definition. 
  • <expireDateTime> - String with a timestamp with an expire date-time in ODBC History. The expired fields will be erased from history during the ClearHistory procedure. An empty string means there is no expiration date for the record.
    The ExpireDateTime field should be defined both in History and in the Database.

The ExpireDateTime field of the History is optional since FIXEdge 6.14.0 release. If the History was created without the ExpireDateTime field then records in it will be updated without expireDateTime value specified in the updateHistory function. In such a case the warning will be logged:

WARN [Update history] <history_name>': the ExpireDateTime value is passed but the field was not defined. The value is ignored.

For more details about the history definition please see ODBC History

Example Code:

key = new Array("snd","tgt");
common = new Array("", "dest2");
updateHistory("orders", key, common, "20121221-10:52:00");

updateToHistory function params:

The record in history with primary key SenderCompID=snd and TargetCompID=tgt in the table “orders” is updated.

The column 'ClOrdID' is updated with NULL value, the column 'TEXT' is updated with 'dest2' value.

The ExpireDateTime column value '20101010-10:52:00' is updated with value ‘20121221-10:52:00’.

  • <keyFields> - is an array of values of KeyField elements from history definition. Usually, it is a list of fields defining the primary key and should be unique across all inserts.
  • <commonFields>-  is an array of values Field elements from history definition. 
  • <expireDateTime> - String with a timestamp with an expire date-time in ODBC History. The expired fields will be erased from history during the ClearHistory procedure. An empty string means there is no expiration date for the record.

The ExpireDateTime field should be defined both in History and in the Database.

If the History was created with the expireDateTime field and the expireDateTime argument of the saveOrUpdate function is absent then the following ERROR is printed to the log on saving a new record to the History:

ERROR History  '<history_name>' unable to insert: the ExpireDateTime filed is not defined!

The ExpireDateTime field of the History is optional since FIXEdge 6.14.0 release. If the History was created without the expireDateTime field then records in it will be saved or updated without the expireDateTime value specified in the saveOrUpdate function. In such a case the warning will be logged:

WARN [Update history/Save to history] <history_name>': the ExpireDateTime value is passed but the field was not defined. The value is ignored.

For more details about the history definition please see ODBC History

Insert failures will be recorded in the application log.

Example Code:

key = new Array("snd","tgt");
common = new Array("ClOrdIDUpdated","destUpdated");
saveOrUpdate("orders", key, common, "");

Insert a new record in the table “orders”.

If the record in history with primary key SenderCompID=snd and TargetCompID=tgt exists in the table “orders” then the column 'ClOrdID' is updated with a NULL value, the column 'TEXT' is updated with 'dest2' value for the record.

The ExpireDateTime has an empty value so the record will be not cleaned up

Sample:

SELECT * FROM orders;

time = getFromHistory("orders", key, "ExpireDateTime"); 

Returns the ‘20121221-10:52:00’ value from the record with key (snd,tgt) that has been updated by the previous sample.

Notes: the column which is created by the <expireDateTime> parameter always has the “ExpireDateTime” name in history. 
Other columns have names as described in the history description in BL_Config.xml or as a tag number in string representation if the column name is absent in the history description.

Retrieves an array of the fields from the record with key <keyFields>, located in the history <historyName>. Returns target record, but if such record wasn't found, returns 'undefined'.

Example Code:

key = new Array("snd","tgt");
record = getRecordFromHistory("orders", key); print(record); 

Returns a fields array of the record with the key (snd,tgt), then prints content into a log. 
The result will show “snd, tgt, ClOrdID, dest2, 20121221-10:52:00” if the record (snd, tgt) has been saved and updated by previous samples.

Notes: Empty fields have NULL values and printing represents it as “<null>”.
If <keyFields> is composite, then all fields in the key set should be filled.

removeRecordFromHistory (<historyName>, <keyFields>)

Removes entire record with key <keyFields>, located in the history <historyName>. Returns a number of deleted records.

Example Code:

key = new Array("snd","tgt");
removeRecordFromHistory("orders", key);  

Removes a record with a key (snd, tgt) from the ‘orders’ history.

Notes: If <keyFields> is composite, then all fields in the key set should be filled.

removeRecordFromHistoryByCompositeKey (<historyName>, <keyFields>)

Removes entire record by matching of composite key with <keyFields>, located in the history <historyName>. Returns a number of deleted records.

Example Code:

key = new Array("snd","");
ndeleted = removeRecordFromHistoryByCompositeKey ("orders", key);

Removes all records with keys which have first the “snd” field in a key.

Notes: the composite <keyFields> set should contain at least one field. All empty fields in a key will be ignored in searching.
