1 Introduction
1.1 Document Purpose
This document intends to provide a comprehensive guide on the FIX Client Certification by using the
FIX Conductor interface. The FIX certification process is designed to ensure that users connecting the
DSB via FIX are fully integrated in a robust manner. Successful completion of the DSB’s FIX Client
Certification is an important milestone in being on-boarded into the DSB’s production environment.
The client can rerun the certification test until completion of all the required test cases. The FIX
Conductor has a Reset Certification feature which will be discussed on the FIX Conductor section.
1.2 Intended Audience
Clients who use FIX that needs certification via FIX Conductor interface.
1.3 Scope
This document focuses on the use of FIX Conductor to setup the connectivity and test the
functionality of the FIX Client.
1.4 Contact Information
Please direct your questions or concerns on the FIX Conductor via email to technical.support@anna-
dsb.com
1.5 Functional Summary
The FIX Conductor interface provides a real time testing service for the FIX Client certification. It
consists of several test cases to check the connectivity (i.e. Logon and Heartbeat) and functionality
(i.e. create, search, subscribe, retrieve) of the FIX Client. It has error code test to simulate the output
of the Security Request Result (560) for invalid request, system unavailable or business message
reject.

Technical.support@anna-dsb.com
28 June 2018
FIX Certification Test
Version 2.03
Result of the test cases can be viewed on the client’s Test Dashboard. The client needs to pass all of
the required test cases in order to obtain the certification. Once the client has completed
successfully, a certification report is made available for the client and the DSB Technical Support.
The DSB Technical Support Admin has a dashboard to verify that a client has successfully completed
the test. The client can contact the DSB Technical Support Team for any issues that may arise while
completing the test.

2 Site Preparation
2.1 FIX Conductor Setup
2.1.1 Register New Client
Once a client approaches the DSB seeking FIX connectivity to the DSB production environment, the
DSB Technical Support Admin will register the new client so that authorized users can access the FIX
Conductor.
Client’s Name, company email address and services (FIX_4.4 or FIX_5.0) to be used by the client will
be based on the Onboarding Form submitted by the client.
2.2 FIX Client Setup
Clients need to undertake the following preparation to connect to the DSB’s FIX Conductor interface:
• Select the FIX version to use: DSB FIX interface supports FIX5.0SP2 as well as FIX 4.4
• DSB operations will provide the following connectivity parameters as part of the client
registration details for access to the FIX conductor:
o Company identifiers ( CompID ); These are used throughout the FIX messages and
commonly configured in the FIX engine
o IP address of the DSB FIX Conductor
o Port for Proxy and Simulated interface
• Make any network/firewall configuration changes required to connect to the DSB FIX
Conductor.
• Verify that the DSB IP FIX Conductor addresses/port numbers are open and visible from any
machine that needs to connect to the FIX service.
• Configure the local FIX engine with the DSB FIX Conductor Hostname, Port, CompID
accordingly.
There are 2 types of Interface that the client needs to configure:
2.2.1 Proxy Interface
This is required for testing the Create, Search, Subscribe, Retrieve, Search by Attributes and Session
Level Test Suites. FIX Client will connect to the FIX Conductor which in turn will connect to the DSB
FIX servers to validate the FIX messages.
2.2.2 Simulated Interface
FIX Client will run in simulated mode to simulate the errors of the different test scenarios.
This is used for Error Codes Test Suite which is required for the client to complete the certification.

3 FIX Conductor
3.1 Login
Client enters the Username and Password to login and access the dashboard.
3.2 Dashboard
3.2.1 Certification Progress
Certification progress can be viewed at a glance on the client dashboard.
To begin the certification, client needs to click the “Begin Certifying” button on the dashboard.
The green bar displays the % progress of the certification. Client needs to finish all the required test
cases to complete the certification.
Client has an option to choose “Practice” mode under Additional Actions to check the test cases.
Certification Report can be generated via “Save Report”. Results of all the test cases are saved on
this report.
For additional new test cases, these will reflect as new Service under the Certification Progress to be
completed by the client.
3.2.2 Interfaces and Sessions
The DSB Technical Support Admin will set the interface and session of the client based on the
preferred FIX version that the client will use and certify. SenderCompID, TargetCompID and port will
be sent to the client once registered. Please note that the Port which will reflect in this section is
NOT exactly the same with the proxy port and simulated port given to clients. The clients need to
configure the FIX Application using the credentials that will be sent to their email.

3.2.3 Profile and Questionnaire Progress
The Questionnaire is used for optional test cases wherein client will answer the questionnaire at the
start of the certification and % Progress of the questionnaire will reflect on this tab. If all the test
cases are required, there will be no questionnaire progress on this section. Client can also edit the
User Profile and Client Profile on this tab.
3.2.4 Test Runner
Client needs to click the “Begin Certifying” or “Continue Certifying” button next to a service name on
the user dashboard to begin or continue the certification.
To start with the test cases, the client needs to enter the name and version of the FIX on the
Application Details field as shown below.
The test dashboard shows test suites broken down into test cases, with the option to run test as well
as when the test was last run, required or optional test case, and the result of the test.
Client has an option to reset certification which is located at the top right side of the Test dashboard.

3.3 Test Suite
3.3.1 Session Level
There are 2 session level tests that are required to complete the certification.
SL1 - Logon and Heartbeat
Objective: Client sends a logon and waits for a logon response from the server. The client sends a
heartbeat and wait for a heartbeat in response.
To proceed with the test, client needs to login to FIX Client so that the FIX Conductor can check the
connectivity (35=A Logon) and heartbeat (35=0 Heartbeat).
