Re: [Quickfix-developers] Newbie set up question

[McAndrew, P. <pa...@no...>]

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. =20

=20

On the Logon message item, where would I put my socket, IP info for
QuickFix to know who to connect with?  Sorry if this is very basic but I
usually don't deal with that aspect of the programming.

QuickFIX is a library.  You would need to link it into a service that
you write.

=20

By connection string are you referring to the FIX Logon Message?
QuickFIX will take care of sending it, so no specific action on your
part is required.

=20

Initiator and Acceptor does not refer to direction of message.  It
refers to who initiates and who accepts the initial logon message.  You
only need one, but it needs to be the opposite of the counterparty.  One
of you needs to initiate while the other accepts.  Once connectivity is
establishes, messages can flow both ways.

I'm new to FIX and QuickFix.  We have a current application using MSMQ
to receive messages and send them to a client in FIX Protocol format.
They want to add CancelReplace and my project is to see if QuickFix
would be a good way to rewrite the application.  Currently the
application needs to be started manually every morning.  They would like
to use a service in its place.  My questions:

=20

1.	Is QuickFix a service or would I need to write an application to
initiate it?
2.	How do I send the connection strings?
3.	If I need to receive messages and send them do I need both an
initiator and acceptor applications?

Thanks for all your help.
