We’re looking to implement a client application to integrate with CME Clearing API using FIXML. Does anyone know what is required to set up a connection and where we can find more information on FIXML useage for CME clearing.

thanks.

You can find CME FIXML guides and specifications at the following link

Connectivty is done via MQ Series. A guide is posted at http://cmegroup.com/clearing/files/MQMUserGuide.pdf

Matt,

thanks for the reply.

Is MQ Series a prerequisite for connecting to CME Clearing API? and do you support other MOM server or JMS API other than MQ series? Please advise.

Hi Andrew,

do you support other MOM server or JMS API other than MQ series?
Please advise.

MQ Series also support the JMS API Version 1.0 and 1.1. So you can also connect using JMS if you deploy the correct JMS support JAR files in the class path of your client. Starting with MQ Series 6.0 IBM even provides a JCA-1.5 compatible connector RAR file to be deployed in J2EE Application servers as GlassFish, JBoss and other. I did not try this JCA-1.5 adapter myself, but I believe you can use it to create managed objects as connection factories to access the MQ queue manager and queue objects. Using the JCA-adapter you can also access the queue from message driven beans.

If you need more help, feel free to post more questions.

Cheers, Jörg

Jörg,

Thanks for you reply. I understand MQ has a JMS interface.

The question is really CME specific. I read the CME MQM user guide mentioned by Matt earlier, and it was asking the firm MQM environment at the end of the document. This made me believe MQM is a a prerequisite for connecting to CME Clearing API. I just want to confirm this is indeed the case so we can plan ahead to acquire MQM if necessary.

Cheers, Andrew

Andrew -

MQ Series is the underlying transport required to connect to CME. JMS can be used as a layer over the top of MQ as Jorge describes below. We are in the process of developing a web services interface to provide access to our Clearing 360 services but cannot say exactly when this will be ready. It should be later this year. We also offer UI access over our EOS application for users who choose not to build to the API.
