Introduction

The TIBCO StreamBase® Adapter for MarketFactory Whisperer™ Trading allows a StreamBase application to place orders and receive trading-related events from a MarketFactory Trading server. The MarketFactory Trading adapter is a single, bidirectional adapter that can both send and receive MarketFactory messages. To facilitate its use in EventFlow diagrams, the adapter is represented as an Input adapter and an Output adapter, with separate icons in the StreamBase Studio Palette view. These icons must be used as a pair that shares a single MarketFactory connection (described below in Linking Input and Output adapters).

The adapter has the following capabilities:

  • Establishes a connection to the MarketFactory Trading server.

  • Subscribes to specific markets and obtains trading events from these markets, as well as places trades with those subscribed markets.

  • Converts the incoming trading events from the MarketFactory server and sends them as tuples to the StreamBase application.

  • Converts incoming tuples from the StreamBase application into trading events that are then sent to the MarketFactory server.

  • Optionally receives commands from the StreamBase application to log on to, or log out from, the MarketFactory server.

The Input side of the adapter exposes a set of output ports, and the Output side exposes a set of input ports, the fields for which are defined later in this document. In addition, each side of the adapter exposes a set of adapter properties as described in the next section.

Linking Input and Output adapters

Having separate Input and Output adapter icons for EventFlow applications minimizes the need for loops in EventFlow logic. The Input and Output adapters share a connection to the MarketFactory Trading server.

To link MarketFactory Trading Input and Output adapters so that they share a single MarketFactory connection, follow these steps:

  • Create a MarketFactory Trading Input adapter and configure it to connect to the MarketFactory server, as described in Adapter Properties Tab. In this Input adapter's General tab, note the value of the Name parameter. For clarity, specify a non-default name For this example, we will use the name MyMFTradingInputAdapter.

  • Create an instance of the MarketFactory Trading Output adapter.

  • In this new adapter's Adapter Properties tab, fill in the Share A Connection With The MarketFactory Trading Input Adapter Named field, enter the name of your Input adapter (MyMFTradingInputAdapter in our example).

    Note

    Make sure the spelling matches the Input adapter's name exactly or a runtime error occurs indicating that the specified Input adapter is not found.

Properties

Settings are used to control most of the behavior of the adapter. The settings are grouped under several tabs in the Properties view in StreamBase Studio.

In the table in this section, the Property column shows each property name as found in the one or more adapter properties tabs of the Properties view for this adapter.

When using this adapter in a StreamSQL program with the APPLY JAVA statement, you must convert the Studio property names to parameter names using the simple formula described in APPLY Statement. For cases where the Studio property name is not convertible in an obvious way, the StreamSQL parameter name is included in the Description column.

Input Adapter Properties

General Tab

Name: Use this field to specify or change the component's name, which must be unique in the application. The name must contain only alphabetic characters, numbers, and underscores, and no hyphens or other special characters. The first character must be alphabetic or an underscore.

Adapter: A read-only field that shows the formal name of the adapter.

Class: A field that shows the fully qualified class name that implements the functionality of this adapter. Use this class name when loading the adapter in StreamSQL programs with the APPLY JAVA statement. You can right-click this field and select Copy from the context menu to place the full class name in the system clipboard.

Start with application: If this field is set to Yes or to a module parameter that evaluates to true, an instance of this adapter starts as part of the containing StreamBase Server. If this field is set to No or to a module parameter that evaluates to false, the adapter is loaded with the server, but does not start until you send an sbadmin resume command, or until you start the component with StreamBase Manager. With this option set to No or false, the adapter does not start even if the application as a whole is suspended and later resumed. The recommended setting is selected by default.

Enable Error Output Port: Select this check box to add an Error Port to this component. In the EventFlow canvas, the Error Port shows as a red output port, always the last port for the component. See Using Error Ports and Error Streams to learn about Error Ports.

Description: Optionally enter text to briefly describe the component's purpose and function. In the EventFlow canvas, you can see the description by pressing Ctrl while the component's tooltip is displayed.

Adapter Properties Tab

Property Data Type Default Description
Configuration File drop-down list none The name of the MarketFactory configuration to use to connect to the MarketFactory server. Refer to your particular MarketFactory product installation to determine the file to use.

This control is a drop-down list that shows the available files in the current Studio project. Import the MarketFactory configuration into your Studio project so that it can be selected in the list.

(StreamSQL property name: configFile)
Use Automatic Failover check box false (cleared) When selected, the adapter does not try to connect to the host and port specified in the Host Name and Port Number properties, but rather looks in the MarketFactory configuration file for a list of hosts and ports to which to connect. If a connection cannot be established (or is subsequently lost), the next host in the list will be contacted instead, thus implementing a form of failover strategy.

(StreamSQL property name: useAutomaticFailover)
Host Name string none The name or IP address of the MarketFactory Enhanced Market Data server to which to connect.

Only enabled if Use Automatic Failover is cleared.

(StreamSQL property name: hostName)
Port int none The port to which to connect on the MarketFactory server.

Only enabled if Use Automatic Failover is cleared.

(StreamSQL property name: hostPort)
User Name string none The username to use when signing on to the trading server.

(StreamSQL property name: userName)
Password string none The password to use when signing on to the trading server.

(StreamSQL property name: password)
Connect On Startup check box true (selected) When selected, the adapter attempts to connect to the MarketFactory server immediately after starting. If cleared, the adapter remains idle after starting and waits for a Connect command as described in Command Input Port.

(StreamSQL property name: connectOnStartup)
Reconnect Retries int 0 The number of times the adapter is to attempt reconnection if the first connection attempt is unsuccessful.

(StreamSQL property name: reconnectRetries)
Reconnect Interval (in seconds) int 10 Specifies the number of seconds to wait between reconnection attempts. This value is ignored unless Reconnect Retries has a non-zero positive value.

(StreamSQL property name: reconnectInterval)

Logging Tab

Property Data Type Default Description
Log Level drop-down list INFO Controls the level of verbosity the adapter uses to send notifications to the console. This setting can be higher than the containing application's log level. If set lower, the system log level will be used. Available values, in increasing order of verbosity, are: OFF, ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG, TRACE, and ALL.
Report Profiling Data check box false (cleared) When selected, the adapter collects data on how long it takes to process incoming messages, and regularly reports the results to the console. Reported data includes the average, standard deviation, minimum and maximum times (in microseconds) taken to receive each market data message, convert it into a tuple and send it to the application. This is useful when troubleshooting performance issues in your application.

(StreamSQL property name: isReportingProfilingData)
Reporting Interval (in # of messages) int 10000 When Report Profiling Data is checked, this property specifies the number of incoming messages after which performance data is reported to the console. A positive integer is expected. This property is ignored if Report Profiling Data is cleared.

(StreamSQL property name: profilingDataReportingInterval)

Concurrency Tab

Use the Concurrency tab to specify parallel regions for this instance of this component, or multiplicity options, or both. The Concurrency tab settings are described in Concurrency Options, and dispatch styles are described in Dispatch Styles.

Caution

Concurrency settings are not suitable for every application, and using these settings requires a thorough analysis of your application. For details, see Execution Order and Concurrency, which includes important guidelines for using the concurrency options.

Adapter Ports And Schemas

Input Adapter Ports

Output Ports

The MarketFactory Trading Input adapter has five output ports:

  • The first port routes the Symbol Map messages received on connection to the MarketFactory server.

  • The second port routes incoming Feed Subscription Response Event messages from the server.

  • The third port routes incoming Trading Events from the MarketFactory server.

  • The fourth port routes incoming Event Reports from the MarketFactory server.

  • The fifth port routes interesting events, such as connection and disconnection from the server, error conditions, and so on.

The schema for each output port is described in the following subsections.

Symbol Map Output Port Schema

The first output port routes incoming Symbol Map messages to the StreamBase application. Typically, one such message will be sent by the server upon connection, to describe the available feeds, styles and currency pairs.

The schema for this port is pre-set by the adapter, and is described in the following table:

Field Name Field Type Description
styles list<tuple> Contains a list of styles available on this server.
  id int Id of this style.
name string Name of this style.
feeds list<tuple> Contains a list of feeds available on this server.
  id int Id of this feed.
name string Name of this feed.
currencyPairs list<tuple> Contains a list of currency pairs available on this server.
  id int Id of this currency pair.

Trading Events Output Port Schema

The third output port routes incoming Trading Event messages to the StreamBase application. These message use a complex structure, and the validity and meaning of each field may vary depending on the feed and style requested when the currency pair was subscribed to. Because of this, this document does not attempt to describe each field's semantics in detail and defers to the MarketFactory Trading product's own documentation instead. Specifically, the documents entitled MarketFactory Java API Programming Guide, Revision 1.3 and MarketFactory Style Specification, Revision 1.0 should be consulted.

Typechecking and Error Handling

The adapter uses typecheck messages to help you configure the adapter in your StreamBase application. In particular, the adapter generates typecheck messages for the following reasons:

  • A required property is missing.

  • One or more required fields in the Command input port is missing or is of the wrong type or size.

Suspend/Resume Behavior

When suspended, the adapter remains connected to the MarketFactory server if it was already connected, but all incoming messages and events from the server are dropped.

When resumed, the adapter starts routing incoming messages and events from the server to the StreamBase application again.
