RE: [Quickfix-users] Problem with logon in linux

[Shamanth <sha...@in...>]

Hi Joerg

We found the problem. There was a difference in system time between the =
server and the client machines that we were using. They were off by =
about 5mins.=20
So we added this entry into the client's configuration file

CheckLatency=3DN

and now it works fine.=20
We had faced this problem in both 1.7.0 an 1.7.1, with this entry it is =
working fine in both the versions.
thanks anyway for the reply.

with regards
R Shamanth

 From a previous message, I see that you probably still use QF 1.7.0.=20
Could you upgrade to QF 1.7.1? Then the event logging would be more=20
verbose in the case of disconnects.

Our FIX servers runs on a Linux box, and our clients connect from Linux, =

Solaris and Windows machines.

Tag 35=3D22 indicates that you already sent some messages. Perhaps the=20
session is disconnected because the sequence number is to low. Try=20
clearing the queues on both sides and restart.

Also there may be a time synchronization issue. Check this to=20
configuration properties:

CheckLatency  	If set to Y, messages must be received from the=20
counterparty within a defined number of seconds (see MaxLatency). It is=20
useful to turn this off if a system uses localtime for it's timestamps=20
instead of GMT.

Values: {Y, N }, Default: Y


MaxLatency 	If CheckLatency is set to Y, this defines the number of=20
seconds latency allowed for a message to be processed.

Values: positive integer, Default: 120
