[Quickfix-developers] data dictionary not being set

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hi,

How do I get QF to use the data dictionary. AFAIK everything is in the
right place but when I call "message.toXML()" the field names are not
printed because the dictionary is not set.

I have the following in my config file

UseDataDictionary=Y
DataDictionary=/home/nri/wa/wtfldgw/etc/FIX42.xml

It's being loaded by the app because when I dump the setting I see..

[DEFAULT]
BEGINSTRING=FIX.4.2
CHECKLATENCY=N
CONNECTIONTYPE=initiator
DATADICTIONARY=/home/nri/wa/wtfldgw/etc/FIX42.xml
ENDTIME=23:59:59
FILELOGPATH=/home/nri/wa/wtfldgw/logs
FILESTOREPATH=/home/nri/wa/wtfldgw/logs
HEARTBTINT=30
HTTPACCEPTPORT=20001
MILLISECONDSINTIMESTAMP=N
PERSISTMESSAGES=Y
RECONNECTINTERVAL=10
REFRESHONLOGON=Y
RESETONDISCONNECT=N
RESETONLOGON=N
RESETONLOGOUT=N
SOCKETCONNECTHOST=127.0.0.1
SOCKETCONNECTPORT=20000
STARTTIME=00:00:00
USEDATADICTIONARY=Y

[SESSION]
SENDERCOMPID=WTFLD
TARGETCOMPID=OM

My app is created as

   FIX::SessionSettings settings(gatewayConfig->configFile);
   cout << "FIXSetting" << endl << settings << endl;
   Application application;
   FIX::FileStoreFactory storeFactory( settings );
   FIX::FileLogFactory logFactory(settings);
   FIX::SocketInitiator initiator( application, storeFactory,
settings, logFactory );

Everything works but when I try to print the messages using
         cout << message.toXML() << endl;
         cout << message << endl;

there is no name, Note that  toXML() calls toXMLFields() and I
modified it to print NoDD as in following code snipet

    stream << std::setw(space) << " " << "<field ";
    if(s_dataDictionary.get() && s_dataDictionary->getFieldName(field, name))
    {
      stream << "name=\"" << name << "\" ";
    }
    else {
       stream << "No DD " ;  // *** CHANGED THIS TO PRINT NoDD......
    }

    stream << "number=\"" << field << "\"";

Notice the NoDD's printed belkow.

I also tried moving the data dictionary from the default to the
session section in the config file but without any luck

Anyone know whats wrong here ?
