Overview
The ICE 4.8 custom message extension enables SOAtest and Virtualize to support the ICE 4.8 message format. ICE 4.8 is one of the formats used in the FIX (Financial Information eXchange) protocol. Installing the extension adds the ICE 4.8 Client for SOAtest and the ICE 4.8 Message Responder for Virtualize, as well as enables other messaging tools to leverage the ICE 4.8 format.
Requirements
- The FIX Message Listener must be installed in order to use the ICE 4.8 Message Responder.
- The FIX Transport must be installed in order to use the ICE 4.8 Client.
Installation
The tool can be installed from the UI or command line.
UI Installation
- Choose Parasoft > Preferences and click System Properties
- Click Add JARs and choose the com.parasoft.soavirt.messages.fix.ice-
<VERSION>-<DATE>-ice48.jar file. - Repeat this process to install any FIX formats you are using.
- Restart SOAtest/Virtualize.
Command Line Installation
Add the com.parasoft.soavirt.messages.fix.ice-10.5.1-<VERSION>-<DATE>-ice48.jar file to the system.properties.classpath property in your settings properties file. For example:
