Session Connection Settings

The Sessions Scheduler service exposes the SessionConnectionSettings class to configure the FIX Connection-related parameters.

The InitiatorConnectionSettings and AcceptorConnectionSettings classes simplify the configuration for sessions-acceptors and sessions-initiators, respectively.

Acceptors

Sessions-acceptors do not require additional connectivity-related parameters, so use the default AcceptorConnectionSettings constructor.

For example:

scheduler.Register(session, schedule, new AcceptorConnectionSettings());

Initiators

The InitiatorConnectionSettings constructors accept initiator-specific connectivity-related parameters (the counterparty host, port, heartbeat interval, custom Logon message, etc.).

For example:

scheduler.Register(session, schedule, new InitiatorConnectionSettings("localhost", 4500));

Multiple Counterparties

To specify multiple counterparties, use the Counterparties property.

For example:

var connectionSettings = new InitiatorConnectionSettings();

connectionSettings.Counterparties.Add(new CounterpartySettings("primaryGateway.com", 9998));
connectionSettings.Counterparties.Add(new CounterpartySettings("backupGateway.com", 9999));

When the Scheduler can not connect to the primary host, it will try to connect to the secondary host.
