FXall Relationship Trading Provider Adapter

Introduction

The TIBCO StreamBase® Adapter for FXall Relationship Trading Provider allows a StreamBase application receive quote requests, publish prices, and accept deals in the FXall Request for Quote (RFQ) trading environment. The StreamBase application acts as the Maker in this environment.

Transactions at FXall are negotiated among several parties and executed between two parties. In both the quoting and negotiation phases, a transaction has two sides: a Customer or Taker who wishes to perform a particular transaction, and a Provider or Maker who responds by offering terms. During the negotiation phase of a transaction, there is one Taker and one or more Makers. During execution there is one Taker and one Maker.

The adapter appears on the EventFlow canvas in StreamBase Studio as two icons, which share a connection to the FXall server. The EventFlow canvas icons for this adapter are:

  • FXall Relationship Trading Provider Input — a StreamBase input adapter that emits tuples in response to FXall-generated events, such as the receipt of quote and trade requests.

  • FXall Relationship Trading Provider Output — a StreamBase output adapter that sends quotes and accepts deals.

Each FXall Relationship Trading Provider adapter icon has its own set of ports, the fields for which are defined later in this document. In addition, each icon has its own properties that configure the connection to the FXall server. The connection properties for each adapter icon must be configured identically to be able to start StreamBase.

The FXall Relationship Trading input adapter icon has no input ports and two output ports. The first output port emits status tuples when the state of the connection to the FXall server changes and when the adapter is suspended or resumed. The second output port emits tuples in FXall-generated events, such as the receive of quote and trade requests.

The FXall Relationship Trading Provider output adapter icon has one input and one output port. The input port is used to send quotes, withdraw previously-sent quotes, accept or reject deals, and chat with the customer who sent the quote or deal request. The output port emits status tuples when the state of the connection to the FXall server changes, when the adapter is suspended or resumed, and when an input tuple is rejected.

A typical interaction with the FXall Relationship Trading Provider adapter is:

  • The input adapter receives a quote request from an FXall customer server and emits a tuple on its event port.

  • The StreamBase application receives the quote request and either accepts it by enqueuing one or more SendQuote tuples to the output adapter's command port or rejects it by enqueuing an AbortQuote tuple.

  • The input adapter receives a deal request from the FXall customer and emits a tuple on its event port.

  • The StreamBase application receives the deal request and either accepts it by enqueuing an AcceptDeal tuple to the output adapter's command port or rejects it by enqueuing a RejectDeal tuple.

  • The input adapter receives a deal completion event and emits a tuple on its event port.

Using the Adapter in a StreamBase Application

This section describes how to use the FXall Relationship Trading Provider adapter in a StreamBase application. As shown in this adapter's sample application, the adapter appears as two icons on the EventFlow canvas.

Note

In this adapter's sample application, the some of the adapters' input and output ports are connected directly to externally-visible input and output streams. However, in more complex applications these ports will typically be connected to internal StreamBase operators.

Adding the Adapter to an EventFlow Application

Add an instance of the adapter to a new StreamBase EventFlow application as follows:

  1. In StreamBase Studio, create a project, including an empty StreamBase EventFlow application file to host the adapter.

  2. From the Operators & Adapters drawer, drag an FXall Relationship Trading Provider Input adapter to the canvas.

  3. From the Operators & Adapters drawer, drag an FXall Relationship Trading Provider output adapter to the canvas.

  4. Select the Parameters tab at the bottom of the EventFlow editor. In the Parameters tab, create parameters named fxall_url, fxall_username, fxall_password, fxall_certificate_directory, fxall_reconnect_interval, and fxall_quote_time_to_live. Enter your site-specific values for each parameter.

  5. Select the Editor tab at the bottom of the EventFlow editor.

  6. Select the FXall Relationship Trading Input adapter icon, and in the Properties view, select the Adapter Settings tab.

  7. Enter ${fxall_url}, ${fxall_username}, ${fxall_password}, ${fxall_certificate_directory}, and ${fxall_reconnect_interval} in the corresponding text entry box for each parameter.

  8. Repeat the previous two steps for the FXall Relationship Trading Provider output adapter adapter icon, including the fxall_quote_time_to_live parameter as well.

  9. Connect Input and Output Streams to the adapters' input and output ports.

  10. Configure the schemas of the input stream with the fields listed in the section below that describe the output adapter's input port. Note that the output adapter will generate typecheck errors when the input stream is missing required fields, when unexpected fields are present, or when fields are of the wrong type. TIBCO recommends you start with the FXall Relationship Trading Provider adapter sample as the basis for creating your application, since it already has the input schema defined.

This Adapter's Ports and Schemas

The FXall Relationship Trading Provider adapter suite consists of an input and output adapter. Each adapter has a specific set of ports to communicate with the surrounding application. As with other StreamBase adapters and operators, you can optionally enable an Error Output Port, as described in Using Error Ports and Error Streams.

  • message, string: a human-readable version of the event.

  • inputTuple, tuple: a copy of the input tuple if the event was the result of processing an input tuple or null othersise.

Typechecking and Error Handling

The FXall Relationship Trading Provider adapter uses typecheck messages to help you configure the adapter within your StreamBase application. In particular, the adapter generates typecheck messages for the following reasons:

  • A required property such as the FXall host name or username is missing.

  • One or more required fields in an input schema is missing or is of the wrong type.

  • One or more unexpected fields are present in an input schema.

The adapter generates warning messages during runtime under various conditions, including:

  • The adapter fails to connect or loses its connection to the FXall server.

  • A tuple is enqueued to the output adapter while the connection to the FXall server is down.

  • A tuple enqueued to the output adapter contains one or more missing or invalid arguments.

Suspend and Resume Behavior

When suspended, the adapter continues to receive and process FXall messages, but no longer emits tuples on its output ports.

When resumed, the adapter once again starts emitting tuples on its output ports.
