Default Schedule Display and Modification
FIXEdge H2 supports the configuration and management of default schedules for FIX sessions. Default schedules are automatically assigned to sessions that do not have a custom schedule. These schedules are defined in the FIXEdge.properties file and are displayed in the UI, where they can be reviewed and modified as needed.
Default Schedule Assignment
When default schedule properties are specified in FIXEdge.properties, any session without a custom schedule will be assigned a default schedule.
Example of configuration
FixLayer.FixEngine.Sessions.DefaultStartTime = 08:00
FixLayer.FixEngine.Sessions.DefaultTerminateTime = 23:59
The local time zone is used for default schedules.
On the FIXICC H2 UI, the default schedule entry is named as follows:
Session#<SenderCompID>-<TargetCompID>[-<Qualifier>]
Default schedules are marked with an asterisk (*) in the schedule list. The schedule properties (StartTime and TerminateTime) for default schedules reflect the values set in DefaultStartTime and DefaultTerminateTime.
The default schedule for each session is displayed in the Server Schedule list and Schedule Name column of the session list. When a session is selected, the details of the default schedule (Schedule Name, Start Time, Terminate Time, and Time Zone) are shown in the Scheduler section.
Editing Default Schedule
Default schedules can be edited directly from the UI:
Select a default schedule (marked with *) in the schedule list.
Click the Edit button. The "Edit New Schedule" tab will open, and all fields will be editable.
Modify the schedule name and time parameters as required.
Note: The symbol # is not supported in the H2 UI for schedule names.After the changes are saved, the schedule is managed in the H2 database and is no longer marked with * (the schedule becomes custom for the session). The Remove button becomes enabled.
If the custom schedule is unassigned, the default schedule (marked with * and named as follows: Session#<SenderCompID>-<TargetCompID>[-<Qualifier>]) is automatically created and applied for the session without a custom schedule.
