Session Layer Management Tests

This section contains information on the AutoCert+ iLink 3.x (External Binary) for Convenience Gateway for Futures & Options.

To run test cases, users must initially log in to the Request Center NR / CERT environment to create / migrate the iLink 2.x CGW session to iLink 3.

iLink 3 uses the FIX Performance (FIXP) protocol to establish and manage bi-directional sessions. Per the FIXP protocol, a FIX session is defined as a bi-directional stream of ordered messages between two parties within a continuous sequence number series.
