Export/Import Server Configuration (for FIXEdge C++)
Export/Import server configuration
FIXICC H2 provides availabilities of:
- Exporting the server configuration in a ZIP archive
- Importing the previously exported server configuration on a specified server
- Importing a legacy server configuration on a specified server
Access to importing, exporting, and migrating server configuration is provided via the Configurations dropdown on the Server details view
The Dropdown contains the following items:
- Business Layer Configuration
- Business Layer Scripts
- Export Server Configuration
- Import Server Configuration
- Migrate Server Configuration
Export Server Configuration
To export the configuration of the selected server, click on the "Export configuration" menu item.
If your browser is configured to download files to the pre-defined location, the ZIP archive named <server_name>_configuration.zip will be downloaded automatically and the file name appears in the downloads section at the bottom of the screen.
Otherwise, the system dialog "Save As" appears.
Specify the desired location, change the name if required, and click the button "Save".
The downloaded ZIP archive contains the following items:
| Title | Type | Content description |
|---|---|---|
BL_configuration | folder |
|
schedules | folder |
|
scripts | folder |
|
| sessions | folder |
|
| BL_Config.xml | file | XML file with BL rules, DLL handlers, Histories, and event handlers |
This file can be imported to the FIXEdge server of the same type as described in the next section.
Import Server Configuration
To import the configuration, click on the "Import Configuration" menu item.
The dialog "Upload the file" appears.
You can drag the appropriate ZIP file and drop it in the specified area, or click on the button "Upload" to open the system dialog "Open".
Migrate Legacy FIX Sessions
FIXICC H2 imports the legacy sessions specified in the FIXEdge.properties file.
As the FIXEdge.properties file contains registered FIX session properties and the default session properties, the FIX session properties are merged with default session properties before importing: the default property is used when the registered session does not have it.
The sessions specified in the file FIXEdge.properties are to be imported to the FIXICC H2 DB as follows:
In case the FIXEdge.properties file within the ZIP file is invalid:
Migrate Legacy Business Layer Configuration
FIXICC H2 imports the legacy FE BL configuration specified in the BL_Config.xml file.
In case the BL component with the <component_name> name already exists, then the duplicated component is saved under the name copy of <component_name> in FIXICC H2 DB.
Although, the BL components in the BL_Config.xml file can have no name attributes. The unnamed BL components will be saved in FIXICC H2 DB under the generated names in <component_type>-UUID format (Generated name example: Rule-0d5de170-8a75-11ec-a8a3-0242ac120002).
If a BL component has an inline script, the BL component is saved in DB as is (with the inline script)
Migrate Legacy Scripts
The BL_Config.XML file may contain the scripts section with built-in scripts that will be imported as well as the scripts in the folder scripts.
Migrate Legacy Schedules
The FIXEdge.properties file may contain the server schedules that will be imported as well as the schedules in the file schedules.json.
