[Quickfix-developers] Starting and Stopping Individual Sessions

[PaulVR <p.r...@gm...>]

Our current implementation has one initiator per session (one initiator
manages one session and there are as many initiators as there are sessions).
According to QuickFIX documentation, one initiator can manage as many
sessions as is required and I presume that having one initiator manage all
sessions is the preferred approach; we seem to have problems on termination
when sessions take too long to close, even though we call initiator's
close() method with 'force' set to 'true': ...->close(true).

I was considering changing this and using one initiator instead of many but
there is one thing I am not too sure as to how to handle, and this is
opening and closing of sessions. Naturally QuickFIX engine handles their
working hours and it is even possible to specify their working days but it
does not handle holidays and, since it lives in GMT, I am not too sure how
it would handle sessions with sufficiently different time zones
(hypothetically, what will happen if the time zone is 9 hours ahead of GMT
and opening time is 8:00 GMT). Our current implementation starts/stops the
initiator which will start/stop the session it manages but I could not find
a mechanism that would allow me to micro-manage sessions in this way if they
are all managed by the same initiator.

Thank you.

Paul
