FIXEdge/J 1.7.1
December 03, 2020
New Features and Improvements
- Integration with the FIXICC H2 web UI application to provide:
- Adding, modifying and removing session and schedules configurations;
- Managing session control operations (start, stop, restart session);
- Managing to send and to change sequence numbers operations;
- Managing session schedules (set start and stop time for several session in the same schedule configuration);
Further information in the FIXICC H2 Release Notes.
- FIXEdge/J dependencies installer
- The package includes the script, which installs FIXEdge/J libraries with public API to the customer repository. It makes easier development of custom extensions for FIXEdge/J.
Bugs and fixes
- Acceptor, with a defined SSL connection, couldn't be connected.
- Problem description: The secure FIX server, which should handle the incoming SSL connection, wasn't started by default FEJ configuration.
- Solution: A management of the secure FIX server component was added.
- Invalid SSL configuration of the particular FIX session failed the start of the whole FEJ server.
- Problem description: An error, which occurred during the FIX session start, led to the failure of the whole FEJ server initialization.
- Solution: The error processing was fixed.
FIXEdge/J 1.5.1
June 1, 2020
New Features and Improvements
- Improved support for FIX Integrated Control Center.
- FIX Integrated Control Center is able to monitor and manage FIX sessions (including scheduled ones) and can reload updated session configurations without restarting FIX Edge Java. Please see more.
- SMTP endpoint is implemented.
- SMTP endpoint allows routing of FIX messages and systems events (like FIX session connect/disconnect events) to emails. Please see the documentation about SMTP Endpoint here.
Bugs and fixes
- Kafka Endpoint can't publish/consume messages in a custom format.
- Problem description: serializer/deserializer classes were hardcoded to work with FIX messages in key-value string format.
- Solution: Hardcode was removed and new interfaces for serialization/deserialization of MessageEvent instance into custom format were provided.
- The scheduler doesn't start the session in the middle of the day.
- Problem description: FIX session does not start if FEJ server has started after its start time but before its stop time.
- Solution: The scheduler logic was fixed and now it can start FIX sessions if the FEJ is started during their working hours.
FIXEdge/J 1.4.1
March 6, 2020
Bugs and fixes
- Kafka Endpoint can't be started by the scheduler.
- Problem description: All Kafka Endpoints are started right after the initialization and it's impossible to manage them later by the scheduler tasks.
- Solution: The flexibility of initialization for Kafka Endpoints was enhanced.
FIXEdge/J 1.4.0
April 3, 2019
New Features and Improvements
- Event API extension was added.
- Added the ability to pass and handle different types of events from endpoints and scheduler in groovy routing rules (handle FIX session connect/disconnect, for example).
- Integration with Apache Kafka streaming platform.
- Kafka Endpoint implementation is based on FIX Antenna Java Kafka Adapter and uses internally Kafka Producer and Consumer API.
- Integration with Apache Camel.
- Camel Endpoint is added into FIXEdge Java as a destination endpoint which allows publishing the messages to the wide range of its connectors.
- Scheduler functionality was enhanced.
- Username/password validation is enabled for FIX sessions.
- Username and password properties may be defined in FIX session configuration to send them to the counterparty or to authorize the client.
- Custom FIX dictionaries for FIX sessions.
- Custom dictionaries with their own IDs for FIX sessions can be defined in the configuration now. Read more.
- JMX controls for Kafka and JMS endpoints were added.
- Store And Forward logic can be used within a cluster.
- REPLICATED persistence mode was added to support the replication of queued messages to backup nodes.
- New options to control Store And Forward queues.
- Added new options maxNumberOfMessagesInMemory and maxQueueWaitingTimeInMsec for Store And Forward queue.
- Strategy for automatic leader election was implemented.
- The logic for election the next leader node was moved to a separate interface. It is accessible for implementation. Also a new strategy with the prioritized list of nodes was provided(TODO:link to strategy and description)
- Automatic reelection of a leader in the cluster.
- Implemented an ability to automatically choose a new leader if the previous was disappeared. This feature is disabled by default.
- Measure routing performance benchmark sample was added.
- Find a source code of sample in benchmarks directory.
- Spring Security 5.2 update
- Authorization for administrative connections gets more configuration options with Spring Security 5.2
- FIX Antenna Java 2.21.1 update.
Bugs and fixes
- The invalid stale period calculation for messages in Store and Forward queue.
- Problem description: Stale period for messages in Store and Forward queue (storeAndForward.stalePeriod option) worked differently in different time zones.
- Solution: a strategy for managing 'stale' messages was fixed.
- FIX session disappears right after disconnect.
- Problem description: disposeOnDisconnect option was active by default and FIX sessions are destroyed in case of any disconnect (due to network problems for example).
- Solution: option is disabled in default FIX session configuration.
- Reconnecting FIX session doesn't stop when the cluster node is switched to backup mode.
- Problem description: When a new leader is elected in the cluster, initiator sessions, which are trying to reconnect on previous leader node, aren't stopped. As a result, it may lead to restoring FIX connection with the wrong node.
- Solution: All sessions are disposed when the cluster node role switches from leader to backup.
- FIX Endpoint may send a Heartbeat(0) message before Logon(A) on connect.
- Problem description: There was a bug in FIX Antenna Java and it may send a Heartbeat(0) message before Logon(A) for a new FIX session.
- Solution: FIX Antenna Java updated to version 2.21.1, which includes fix for sync_noqueue mode.
FIXEdge/J 1.3.0
April 3, 2019
New Features and Improvements
- Added key-value in-memory data storage.
- FIXEdge/J provides an ability to store information in the memory for purposes of message enrichment during the routing process. Please find additional information in the article In-memory data context.
- Added Store-And-Forward intermediate queue.
- FIXEdge/J provides functionality that messages are stored and forwarded in the event that a connection with one of the counterparties is dropped and messages are not delivered. For additional information please refer to the article Store And Forward Queue.
- Configuration and deployment to WildFly were added.
- Added ability to deploy and configure FIXEdge/J on a Wildfly server. For additional information please refer to the article Installation in WildFly
- Added support for session qualifiers.
- Session qualifier gives the user an ability to create several sessions with the same SenderCompId and TargetCompId.
- FIXEdge/J 1.3.0 is based on the FIX Antenna Java 2.20.0.
Bugs and fixes
- FIXEdge/J does not log the session initialization/registration event.
- Problem description: FIXEdge/J creates/registers/initializes session according to the schedule. The record about this event doesn't appear in the log.
- Solution: Logging process of such events was fixed.
