[Quickfix-developers] BusinessMessageReject Question

[Nick V. <ni...@ad...>]

I'm using QF 1.11.0 for Java and FIX 4.2 and have a question related to=20
BusinessMessageRejects.  My QF engine has a FIX session with a FIX hub,=20
which routes my messages to the appropriate counterparties.  In the=20
scenario where my QF engine sends a NewOrderSingle message to a=20
counterparty (CP1) who is not currently connected to the hub, the hub=20
sends a BusinessMessageReject message back to me with BusinessRejectReason=
=20
set to 4 (application not available) and a short explanation in the Text=20
field.  The problems seems to occur when this message is received by my QF=
=20
engine, as it immediately rejects it stating that a conditionally required=
=20
field is missing.  However, I'm certain that all fields, both mandatory=20
and conditionally required, are contained in the received message from the=
=20
hub.  The relevant portion of the message log is copied below:


8=3DFIX.4.2=019=3D210=0135=3DD=0134=3D7=0149=3DQF=0152=3D20070307-06:09:49.=

A couple of questions spring to mind, that I'd appreciate some help with:

1.  Is it correct to expect a BusinessMessageReject from the hub?
2.  Why is QF rejecting the message?  What conditionally required field is=
=20
it referring to?  Is there a field missing in the message from the hub?
3.  Can I switch of validation for just this message type?  Is there a=20
better way to manage this problem?

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks
Nik
