[Quickfix-developers] Initiator Reconnect?

[Robert L. <le...@qe...>]

I am using the C++ library for QuickFIX version 1.12.4.  

 

I have a FIX::Application implementation that successfully connects to and
logs into the executor example application (that comes with the library).
Things seem to be working as expected however if the client starts up after
the executor server or the executor server goes down and doesn't come up
within 15 seconds, the client doesn't attempt to connect to it. I assume
that  should expect the client to retry connecting to the server but that is
not happening and do I see anything relevant in the docs at
http://www.quickfixengine.org/quickfix/doc/html/index.html

 

To make things clear here are the two scenarios I quickly outlined:  

1)      Client starts before Server

a.       Execute my application

b.      Wait a few seconds

c.       Client application logs "Connecting to localhost on port 5001"

d.      Start executor server (using run_executor_cpp)

e.      Executor starts up successfully

f.        Client application never retries to connect to executor server

2)      Server exists/crashes before Client

a.       Start executor server (using run_executor_cpp)

b.      Executor starts up successfully

c.       Execute my application

d.      Connection is made and login successful

e.      Kill executor server (manually for testing)

f.        Client application gets disconnect and logout event

g.       Client application attempts to reconnect and logs "Connecting to
localhost on port 5001"

h.      Wait 15 or so seconds

i.         Start executor server (using run_executor_cpp)

j.        Executor starts up successfully

k.       Client application never retries to connect to executor server

 

Should I be doing something in code to get this reconnect behavior working?

 

Thanks,
