Where do I put other login/session parameters?

Where do I put other login/session parameters?

Reply Threaded

Hi,

I'm trying to connect to a provider and they require additional
connection info. Where do I put it? In the OMS.XML file, it mentions
SENDERCOMPID, TARGETCOMPID, etc. and the comment line suggests an
actual sequence these must be specified.

But my provider additionally requires:
SenderSubId: foobar
Account: sim-foobar
Password: thepassword
HeartBeat Interval: 60s

Where are THESE specified? In which files and under which tags?

Thanks,

Neal Hill

Hi Neal,

Apologies - we are in the process of updating the documentation to
reflect the recent 0.5.0 release.
Let me assume that you are running 0.5.0

Here are the files you need to change:

In C:\program files\marketcetera\ors\conf you need to open
ors_user.properties - this is where you specify the FIX destination
properties. This file overrides the defaults that are specified in
ors_default.properties

quickfix.senderCompId=<your sender-comp id>
quickfix.targetCompId=<target comp id>
quickfix.destination=<fix host destination>
quickfix.port=<port>

The hearbeat interval is specified in the conf/quickfixj.xml file -
look for something that looks like this and modify 30 to 60 (line 30)
<entry key="HeartBtInt" value="30"/>

For Account, if you want it to be automatically inserted into every
outgoing message, you'll need to use the message modifier framework.
see http://trac.marketcetera.org/trac.fcgi/wiki/Marketcetera/OMSInstallation#DefaultFIXFieldsOptional
for more details. If you want it in all messages, then it's as simple
as having this:

<bean id="defaultMessageModifier"
class="org.marketcetera.quickfix.DefaultMessageModifier">
<property name="msgFields">
<map>
<entry key="1" value="<your account name>"/>
</map>
</property>
</bean>

If you need that in Logon only message, for example, then you specify
message type (Logon is A) in the key:
<entry key="1(A)" value="<your account name>"/>

Similar with password. I'm assuming that you need both Account and
Password (field 554) in Logon, then you'd have this:
<bean id="defaultMessageModifier"
class="org.marketcetera.quickfix.DefaultMessageModifier">
<property name="msgFields">
<map>
<entry key="1(A)" value="<your account name>"/>
<entry key="554(A)" value="<your password>"/>
</map>
</property>
</bean>

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Neal,

If you are running 0.4.2, then refer to the documentation on the site
- we are updating it when we release the new source code repo and
Linux installers at the end of this week.

Ignore what i said about ors_user.properties file - you need to modify
the conf/oms.xml file as described here:
http://trac.marketcetera.org/trac.fcgi/wiki/Marketcetera/OMSInstallation#FIXConnection

The quickfixj.xml and message-modifiers.xml instructions are still the same.

I'd recommend installing 0.5.0 since it has a nicer easy-to-use
Windows installer, so that you don't have to deal with the VMWare
appliance anymore.

OK... I *promise* to upgrade once I prove this end-to-end connectivity.

So, to summarize, for 0.4.2:

1) Set heartbeat in the quickfixj.xml.

2) In OMS.XML, I set the *only* the SENDERCOMPID, TARGETCOMPID

And

3) in the message-modifiers.xml file, I can put the following in the tag <bean id="defaultMessageModifier" ...

Neal,

That should work. One note:

> <property name="msgFields">
> <map>
> <entry key="1" value="myaccount"/>
> <entry key="554" value="mypassword"/>
> <entry key="50" value="mysendersubid"/>
> </map>
> </property>

will put those tags in all outgoing messages. You may want to be more
specific - I don't know if Account/Password are allowed in all
messages.

If you end up seeing rejections of messages due to some tags not being
in the dictionary, you will need to modify the FIX dictionary you are
have to include the Password field - it's not there in FIX.4.2 for
example.
See http://trac.marketcetera.org/trac.fcgi/wiki/Marketcetera/UserFAQ#MybrokerdeviatesfromFIXspec.HowdoIuseacustomFIXdictionary
for more info.

let me know how this goes
