Engine Initialization and Shutdown

Initializing the Engine

To initialize the Engine services, the OnixS::FIX::Engine::init method must be used. configFile parameter points to the Engine's configuration file. This method must be called before all other methods.

Shutting down the Engine

To shutdown the Engine, the OnixS::FIX::Engine::shutdown method must be used.

Note

No other members of any class from C++ FIX Engine, public API as well as instances by themselves, must be called after this method.

The following example demonstrates the Engine's initialization and shutdown:

Example

    using namespace OnixS::FIX;

    try
    {
        Engine::init();

        // Session-related logic goes here.

        Engine::shutdown();
    }
    catch(const Exception& ex)
    {
        std::cout << "Exception: " << ex.what() << std::endl;
    }
