[Quickfix-developers] non logged-on messages

[John G. <joh...@wa...>]

Hi there,

Using C++ version of QF 1.10.2. on linux.

I don't get what I am doing wrong here. The documentation at 
http://www.quickfixengine.org/quickfix/doc/html/application.html 
stipulates that " As soon as a session is created, you can begin sending 
messages to it. If no one is logged on, the messages will be sent at the 
time a connection is established with the counterparty."

I launch an Initiator, and a trace in onCreate() says the session has been 
created. I send an order to it, which gets written in the directory 
defined by FileStorePath with the name 
BeginString-SenderCompID-TargetCompID.body

Then I launch the ordermatch.exe test program and here is what happens 
from its side :

<20050829-09:47:53, FIX.4.1:JGSERVER->JGCLIENT, event>
(Created session)

Logon - FIX.4.1:JGSERVER->JGCLIENT <20050829-09:48:10, 
FIX.4.1:JGSERVER->JGCLIENT,incoming>
(8=FIX.4.19=9335=434=143=Y49=JGCLIENT52=20050829-09:48:1056=JGSERVER122=20050829-09:48:1036=3123=Y10=028)
<20050829-09:48:10, FIX.4.1:JGSERVER->JGCLIENT, event>
(Received SequenceReset FROM: 1 TO: 3)

The same kind of things happens in the following scenario :
- I let both initiator and ordermatch(acceptor) chat a little while
- I kill ordermatch with a CTRL-C
- I send my order to the initiator
- I boot up ordermatch again 
=> ordermatch asks for ResendRequest but the client never sends its order, 
only a SequenceReset

Is there something special I must do in my code to handle this situation 
or is it a "bug" of some kind ?

If I start ordermatch first, everything works just fine. 

Sincerely,
JG
