[Quickfix-developers] Using .seqnums file to trigger a full resend

[<daw...@ya...>]

Hi Guys,



I'm trying to trigger a resend of all the executor's messages for the day. I manually set the incoming seq no in the .seqnums file to 0, then login and this triggers a resend request for all messages as soon as my FIX engine receives the logon response message - all good so far. All the messages are resent and received correctly. The problem is when I log out I can see that the .seqnums file does not have the updated incoming seq no (it's just set to 1) so when I log in again it triggers another resend request.

This problem should be very easy to reproduce. The steps are:-
1. Log on
2. Send order
3. Receive execution
4. Log out
5. Manually change the .seqnums file from "0000000004 : 0000000004" to "0000000004 : 0000000000"
6. Log on (resend is triggered)
7. Log out.
8. Check the seqnums file again and you get "0000000007 : 0000000001" when it should be "0000000007 : 0000000006"

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot!
