Hi,
I understand that FIXML is an xml extension to FIX.

Can FIXML be used as a means transfer XML files to and fro without using initiator and acceptor socket connections ?

We are currently using mq series and obtain trade files where data is in our own format(comma separated file). Can we benefit from using FIXML?

FIXML can be used indepently of session layers or socket connections. That being said, FIXML is just a syntax and needs to use a transport of some sort. MQSeries is a quite acceptable transport for FIXML and is used extensively by listed derivatives for this purpose. In general, the benefits of using a FIXML interface verses proprietary include interoperability improvements due to the pervasiveness of both FIX and XML.
