[Quickfix-developers] unexplained logout

[Rick L. <ric...@gm...>]

Greetings,
I've experienced several unexplained logouts today and I'm hoping someone
can help me diagnose the issue.  I noticed my FIX session was logging out,
which usually means one of two things:

1) my computer's clock is not closely synch'ed enough to the exchange's
(they have a minimum threshold and if you exceed this, they boot you off)
2) a too-low sequence number, though this never really happens in
mid-session, only when I try to connect

So I called the exchange to see what their explanation was for booting me
and they said "we didn't boot you. you submitted a 35=5 (Logout) message."

This was odd, the first time I'd had this behavior, so I decided to turn a
FileLogFactory on to see if I could pinpoint why I was sending 35=5
messages, and these messages are not captured in the LogFactory.

So now I'm left with trying to determine what might case QuickFIX to issue a
Logout.  My initial theories are strange holiday-schedule issues with
respect to my Session settings, though I don't know why today would be any
different than a normal "Monday" from QuickFIX's perspective.  The fact that
the 35=5 messages aren't even logged doesn't help much.

Anyone have any suggestions of where to look?

Thanks,
Rick
