Re: [Quickfix-developers] Acceptor App issues

Dave,

You pointed me in the right direction.  I apologize for not doing this
before sending an email out, but hooking up the MSSQL LogFactory and
then sending the message has shown me what the errors are in the message
and that they are indeed being received by the Acceptor app.

Thanks.

Are you using the LogFactory?

If it was only an invalid checksum value then I think you would see an
entry
in the logs; something like:

Invalid message: Expected CheckSum=3D242, Recieved CheckSum=3D175

For it to be a valid FIX message it must have a correctly formatted
BeginString as the first field, a BodyLength as the second Field and a
Checksum as the last field. The BodyLength should be the number of bytes
from the end of the BodyLength field to the beginning of the Checksum
field.

Is it possible to see the message you are attempting to send?

Cheers,
Dave
