[Quickfix-developers] QuickFix Multiple Sessions with same TargetCompID

[William G. <gr...@gm...>]

Hi,

My broker requires two separate connections to their FIX server: one for
orders and one for market depth.  Unfortunately, both of these connections
require the same TargetCompID, and the way the server tells the difference
between the two is the TargetSubID in the header.  However, quickfix
doesn't have a way to distinguish the two, and if I try to define both
sessions in the fix.conf file I have, quickfix will fail with
"Configuration failed: Duplication Session FIX.4.4....".

Is there a way to get both the connections up when using the same
TargetCompID?  They supposedly support FIX 4.2 as well, but I've found that
their system doesn't allow my app to logon when using that protocol, which
I guess would've solved my issue, other than making for some really
annoying code around both protocols when cracking messages.

I suppose I could try to send another logon request manually or something,
but I haven't done that yet.  I will try it, but I'm hoping for some help.

Thanks,
Will
