Creating a FIX Inbound Drop Copy session
Creating a FIX Inbound Drop Copy session
FIX client drop-copy import applications connect to TT FIX services through a FIX Inbound Drop Copy session.
Use the FIX sessions window to add FIX sessions to your company and configure them for third-party
FIX client access.
To use the TT platform to monitor Execution Report
(8) messages from an inbound Drop Copy source, configure the following settings:
-
Click More | FIX Sessions in the left navigation pane.
-
At the top of the FIX Sessions window, click +New Session.

-
For FIX Type, select FIX Inbound Drop Copy.
-
Configure the following settings:
-

Notes:
If a value is specified for this setting:
- The combination of the Remote Comp Id and Target Sub Id
settings must be unique among all FIX sessions.
- The FIX client connecting to this FIX session must supply the same value in tag 57.
Also, if FIX clients send Tag 57, which is optional, in the Logon (A) message, the value must be
supplied in this setting.
