Does Artio support FIX.5.0-sp2 ?

[tamama]

This issue has been raised here for book-keeping purpose.

Based on Hydra (Aeron-Enterprise) docs, we can auto-gen fix-dictionary related code with

fix-dictionary std_quickfix_fix50sp2 = {
   applicationVersion: "FIX50SP2"
   dictionaryFile: "def/std/quickfix/FIX50SP2.xml"
   transportDictionaryFile: "def/std/quickfix/FIXT11.xml"
}

However, while using standard FIX-5.0-sp2 spec provided by STD/QUICKFIX, Hydra failed to compile due to underlying Artio library.

Example - stacktrace:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No enum constant uk.co.real_logic.artio.dictionary.ir.Field.Type.LOCALMKTTIME                
        at java.base/java.lang.Enum.valueOf(Enum.java:293)                                                     
        at uk.co.real_logic.artio.dictionary.ir.Field$Type.valueOf(Field.java:138)                                               
        at uk.co.real_logic.artio.dictionary.ir.Field$Type.lookup(Field.java:280)                                         
        at uk.co.real_logic.artio.dictionary.DictionaryParser.lambda$parseFields$8(DictionaryParser.java:258)

Other known bugs against standard field-types include:

• TAGNUM
• XIDREF
• LOCALMKTTIME
• ... there are probably more which I have not compiled ...

Kind regards, Tama MA

Generally speaking, yes, Artio does support FIX 5.0 SP2. However, some of the newer extension packs might not be supported at the moment, as was the case here.

Per discussed over Adaptive support desk,

we confirm that Hydra (Artio) supports

• "std/quickfix/v1.15.1"
• "std/quickfixj/v2.3.1"

Beware that

• FIX specs would change from time to time - for our case FIX50SP2.
• Artio requires you to modify your FIX dictionary, if you base from QuickFIX (C++ / Python). (similarly for the case of fix8)
• However, Artio works out of the box, if you base from QuickFIX/J - in this case v2.3.1

For FIX-4.x, Artio works perfectly OK. (I have to be fair here.)

^ I think I have provided an honest picture here.
