RE: [Quickfix-developers] Required Tag missing - 58

[Shepheard, T. (London) <Tob...@ml...>]

First of all, you are misinterpreting the toAdmin message. This is a
response to you, from the other server, with a MsgType (tag 35) of 3 - a
reject message. The field 58 is a text field telling you why your
message was rejected - it was missing a required tag. Field 371,
RefTagId, is saying that the missing tag was tag 35. This isn't good,
because tag 35 is the message type! So, you were sending a message
without setting the msgType...now to look at why...

If you look at your code, you're actually sending a QuickFix.Message
object. This is a generic message object, and you're never telling it
what type of FIX message it is meant to be.  You're creating the
report-type message and then not doing anything with it at the moment.
You should really use the typesafe set methods  as described in the docs
I pointed at earlier, not the setField method.
(http://www.quickfixengine.org/quickfix/doc/html/sending_messages.html).
Whilst both work, the recommended method is recommended for good reasons
- including the fact that it sets the msgType and other header fields
for you :)

Thus:

QuickFix44.TradeCaptureReportRequest myTCRreport =3D new
QuickFix44.TradeCaptureReportRequest();

                  myTCRreport.set(new
QuickFix.SubscriptionRequestType('1'));

                  myTCRreport.set(new QuickFix.TradeRequestType(1));

                  myTCRreport.set(new
QuickFix.TradeRequestID("abc101"));

                  myTCRreport.set(new QuickFix.Text("TCR"));

                 =20

                  Session.sendToTarget(msg,e.SessionID);

=20

As a minor aside, perhaps its worth adding a check in the QuickFIX code
to catch people trying to send messages formed from the base class and
with no specific type.

	When sending a Session.sendToTarget request for a trade capture
report request coded as

	=20

	QuickFix44.TradeCaptureReportRequest myTCRreport =3D new
QuickFix44.TradeCaptureReportRequest();

	                  QuickFix.Message msg =3D new QuickFix.Message();

	                  msg.setField(new
QuickFix.SubscriptionRequestType('1'));

	                  msg.setField(new
QuickFix.TradeRequestType(1));

	                  msg.setField(new
QuickFix.TradeRequestID("abc101"));

	                  msg.setField(new QuickFix.Text("TCR"));

	                 =20

	                  Session.sendToTarget(msg,e.SessionID);

	My ToAdmin message string looks like

	=20

	To Admin:::::8=3DFIX.4.4_

	9=3D117

	35=3D3

	34=3D2

	49=3D XXXXX

	52=3D20060206-15:44:09.729

	56=3Dxxxxxxxx

	45=3D1

	58=3DRequired tag missing

	371=3D35

	372=3DA_

	373=3D1

	10=3D009

	=20

	I am using FIX 4.4, the TCR request does not mention any tag 58,
which seems to be a text field, I tried inserting

	A text field that did not work too.

	=20

	Thanks
