The information you are looking for is embedded in the specification document - not always consistently, not always graphically. As Bivas stated there are some flow diagrams in Volume 7. The Repository Working Group is responsible for addressing the need for what the industry has unfortunately labeled as "Profiles" - taken from the Web Services Profiles. There are several business process languages out there - most are much more than we need. The approach we have used internally and are planning to submit as a starting point for the repository working group is a simple dialog XML language that could be then translated into graphical representations, WSDL profiles, as well as other business process automation languages. The preferred approach here is to do something in the FIX tradition - something simple and fit for purpose that could then be translated or adapted for use with existing IT standards. > Hi Nic, > > Not sure if there is one single location where you would find this > information. > > However,the specs give a fair idea on the usage of message types and the > responses to particular request messages. > > If you would go through vol 3,4,5 (FIX4.3 onwards) you would find > various scenarios depicting the usage of messages and the corresponding > flows for pre-trade, trade and post trade phases.
