FIX and Mainframe ?

Imported from previous forum

Hi.
Two questions:

  1. Are there any vendors that have a package solution to handle FIX under MVS ?
  2. Anyone care to suggest alternative platform package solutions as an intermediary application to MVS ?

Any feedback would be most welcome. Thanks !
Nick.

Our OMS’s data resides on an IBM mainframe. We’ve employed option #2 in which we have a Unix system with our FIX engine and business-level FIX processing interfacing with the mainframe DBMS.
