Introduction
The Parasoft FIX Message Listener enables a virtual asset to receive and respond to messages over FIX (Financial Information eXchange). FIX versions 4.0 - 5.0 SP2 and ICE 4.8 are supported.
...
The tool can be installed from the UI or command line.
UI Installation
- Choose Go to Parasoft > Preferences and click the System Properties category.
- Click Add JARs and choose the FIXListenerselect the FIXListener.jar file. Once this jar file is added to the SOAtest/Virtualize classpath, all of the required dependencies will be loaded.
- Repeat this process to install any FIX formats you are using.
- Click Apply.
- Restart SOAtest/Virtualize.
Command Line Installation
Add the FIXListener.jar file to the system.properties.classpath property in your settings properties file. For example:
system.properties.classpath=<path to jar><PATH_TO_JAR>/FIXListener.jar
Once the classpath is modified, all of the required dependencies will be loaded.
...
Once the FIX message listener is installed, FIX will be available in the Transports> Transports > Custom tab of the Virtual Asset configuration panel. Open this panel by double-clicking a virtual asset’s Virtualize Server node.

| Accepter settings path | Specify the absolute path to the cfg properties file that defines how the FIX engine in the Virtualize server should accept connections from clients. You can review example acceptor cfg file below. For a detailed definition of the properties, see the following documentation: https://www.quickfixj.org/usermanual/1.5.3/usage/configuration.html Either Acceptor settings path or Socket accept port is required. |
|---|---|
| Socket accept port | If specified, the FIX engine will accept connections on this port and the other acceptor property values would assume default values. In particular, the option would accept requests of any |

| Proxy initiator settings path | Specify the absolute path to the cfg properties file that defines how Virtualize should initiate connections to the FIX engine. An example initiator cfg file is provided below. For a detailed definition of the properties, see the following documentation: https://www.quickfixj.org/usermanual/1.5.3/usage/configuration.html |
| TargetCompID | The Specify the target comp ID that is used to identify the FIX client application. |
| Proxy response timeout | The Specify the number of milliseconds that Virtualize should wait for request responses. The default is 30000. |
| Number of responses to wait for | The Specify the number of responses that this request is expected to trigger—and that Virtualize should wait for. The default is 1. |
| Record and return all responses | If the value specified in the Number of responses to wait for option is greater than 1, this option determines whether all responses should be returned by Virtualize. Enter y for yes. Enter n for no and only the last response received will be returned. The default is n. |
| Traffic file path | The Specify the absolute path to the file that should record the traffic being passed between the actual client and the FIX engine. |
