  • The application checks default tag folder paths in standalone mode and logs an error if the paths match: Current Message [ERROR] 20210625-13:02:09.377 [18072] [ReplicationServer] - CONFIG ERROR: The properties replication.server.folder.default.path and replication.client.folder.default.path are the same directories. You must set different paths in standalone mode.

FIX Logs Replicator 1.0

FIX Logs Replicator 1.2 released on Jun 30, 2020. 

The major feature of this release is support of FIX Antenna Java's session logs. The Replication tool determines a type of session logs automatically (FAC++ or FAJ) and does not require any additional configuration. However FIX Antenna Java must be configured in a particular way having the following properties with certain values for the Replication tool to operate correctly:

Property Name

Prohibited Value(s)

 Allowed Value(s)

storageFactory

SlicedFileStorageFactory

InMemoryStorageFactory

FilesystemStorageFactory

MMFStorageFactory

incomingStorageIndexed

false

true

outgoingStorageIndexed

false

true

timestampsInLogs

false

true

Resetting of sequence numbers in session isn't supported, you must create a new session instead.

Breaking changes

The behavior in accept all mode has been changed. The Replication tool creates a folder for each tag folder in replication.client.folder.default.path path now. Please, make sure that you have set this path correctly. You can't set a particular path for any tag folder now also. Note: accept all mode is the mode, when property replication.client.folders is empty or not set at all.
