Version 4.7.1

DropCopy Alternatives. DropCopy is described as 'Easily and quickly send files and folders to multiple destinations across your LAN by simply dragging files onto recipients in a popup window'. There are more than 10 alternatives to DropCopy for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Mac. I'm using DiskAid which is a good file manager to access the iPhone file system from your desktop Mac or Windows. You can connect to your device through Wi-Fi or USB, access your App contents, Music, SMS etc. Transfers are stable and reliable, for example if you disconnect your USB cable during a transfer the transfer will automatically continue via Wi-Fi.

Onix Solutions CME Drop Copy Handler for Java is a Java library that provides an accessto the CME Group Drop Copy services using FIX Protocol. Print server for mac os.

High-level Java API allows to build applications rapidly to get drop copy data without much involving into raw protocol specifics.

CME Drop Copy Handler implementations features include: Recorder app for mac.

  • CME AutoCert+ Drop Copy 4.0 pre-certified.
  • Easy-to-use API.
  • Low latency, low CPU load.
  • Flexible logging.
Note
It's highly recommended to read the 'Drop Copy Service' to get familiar with core aspects of CME Drop Copy Service.
By reading this Guide, we also recommend to review a source code of the sample project which comes as a part of the library distributive package.
  • JDK 1.8+

All Handler classes are encapsulated into the biz.onixs.cme.dropcopy.handler package.

The typical way of using the Handler is as follows:

  • Set path to license storage using biz.onixs.cme.dropcopy.handler.Handler.setLicenseDirectory static method.
  • Set path to log storage using biz.onixs.cme.dropcopy.handler.Handler.setLogDirectory static method.
  • Creates an instance of biz.onixs.cme.dropcopy.handler.Handler class.
  • Register error listener using biz.onixs.cme.dropcopy.handler.Handler.setErrorListener method.
  • Register warning listener using biz.onixs.cme.dropcopy.handler.Handler.setWarningListener method.
  • Register Handler's events listener using biz.onixs.cme.dropcopy.handler.Handler.setHandlerListener method.
  • Start Handler by invoking biz.onixs.cme.dropcopy.handler.Handler.logon method.
  • Process data of the events for which listeners were previously registered.
  • Stop Handler by invoking biz.onixs.cme.dropcopy.handler.Handler.logout method.
  • Clean-up resources by invoking biz.onixs.cme.dropcopy.handler.Handler.dispose method.

CME Globex implemented secure authentication for iLink and Drop Copy sessions on Convenience Gateway (CGW) and Market Segment Gateway (MSGW). The new logon procedure secures the client system logon with:

  • Customer identity verification - a client system logon request will be signed with security credentials issued and validated by CME Group.
  • Message confidentiality and integrity - to credential the logon message, the client system sends a keyed-hash message authentication code (HMAC) generated from a combination of the logon FIX tag values. When CME Globex receives the logon message, it uses the identical inputs to calculate the HMAC value to validate against the logon request. If the values do not match, CME Globex rejects the logon.

Secure keys

Customers must create secure key pairs for iLink and Drop Copy Sessions in the CME Customer Center.

Implementation details

Secure Logon procedure was implemented inside DropCopy Handler. To provide secure keys to DropCopy Handler please call one of Handler.logon() methods, which accepts accessKeyID and secretKey parameters.

Handler instance allows to connect to single segment only. To connect to multiple segments, there is need to create one handler instance for each segment. Please see miltisegment sample from installation package.

Note
Segment id is specified as session TargetSubID. SenderCompId and SenderSubId will be same for all segments.
The following example demonstrates how to how to connect to multiple segments.

If connection to primary host has been dropped, CME allows to connect to backup host:

  • CME Globex initiates failover by electing the ranking inactive designated backup Drop Copy Gateway to assume the primary role.
  • The client application should connect to the newly promoted primary Drop Copy Gateway.
  • If the primary connection fails and the client system connects to the newly promoted primary Drop Copy Gateway, that instance will begin with the next available outbound sequence number to the client (outbound sequence number could be higher due to unprocessed in-flight messages).
  • Once connected to the new instance, sequence numbers on outbound messages from the client system to Drop Copy must begin with the next available sequence number from tag 34-MsgSeqNum of the previously available Drop Copy gateway instance.
  • After failover, Drop Copy may resend previously transmitted messages with tag 97-PossResend=Y on real time messages.
Handler supports connection to backup host via providing new host ip address.The following example demonstrates how to switch to backup host.

Handler supports using the Session Scheduler to connect to CME host automatically. The Scheduler support switching between primary and backup hosts.

Note
It's important to register Handler as InitiatorConnectionListener, to process host switching correctly. If the only primary host is used, this step can be omitted.
The following example demonstrates how to configure the Scheduler to connect to CME hosts.

Controlling Logging in the Handler

By default, Handler logs all important aspects of its activity while processing market data. The SLF4J (Simple Logging Facade for Java) is used by Handler internally. The SLF4J detects and uses the concrete logging implementation configured by user. By default, the Logback logging implementation is recommended.

The Logback (or any other logging implementation) must be configured at the beginning of the application. The examples of Logback configuration can be found in the Handler samples. The details of Logback configuration can be found here.

By default logging is configured to log only errors and warnings. This is an example of logback.xml where detailed logging was switched on:
<logger name='biz.onixs.cme.stp.handler.sample' level='DEBUG'/>
<logger name='biz.onixs.cme.stp.handler' level='INFO'/>
<logger name='biz.onixs.cme.stp.handler.Session.Messages' level='INFO'/>

Drop Copy Wikipedia

I was happily installing the Mac OS 10.7 Lion update on my Mac Pro at home (Avid recently blessed Media Composer to run on 10.7) only to become somewhat less happy when I realized AirDrop, one of the features I was most looking forward to, won’t work with my Mac Pro. It apparently uses the WiFi built into the computer and can’t work through a network, even when the machine is connected to an Apple router. A little search verified that my Mac Pro won’t work since it doesn’t have a WiFi card installed.

Enter DropCopy. This little tool lets you “Easily and quickly send files and folders to multiple destinations across your LAN by simply dragging files onto recipients in a pop-up window.” Sounds a lot like AirDrop to me! It appears simple enough and even works quite simply. There’s a mobile version as well for iPhone.

Drop Copy App

Drag a file to the DropCopy “drop zone” (an animated circle that looks like an eclipsed sun) on your desktop and other machines on the network running DropCopy are suddenly accessible. The file then transfers to the selected machine and the file lands on the desktop.

Drop Copy Fix

Another really cool and useful feature, if you’re running a bunch of machines within a facility, is the ability to send a text message from machine to machine:

The text message then lands at the selected machine:

This is a really cool little utility and I can’t wait to test it out some more.

A “personal” license of DropCopy (for 1 to 3 devices) can be download for free from the Mac App Store or at the DropCopy website. They ask you to purchase a Pro version for $5 if you’re using up to ten devices. Site licenses which supports unlimited devices can be purchased at the DropCopy site only for $25.
