Ashish,

No, that should not be the case.  TargetSubID is a field on the header
which can be set before you send a message out.  Keep in mind that
TargetSubID is not the same as TargetCompID which is the field that is in
the configuration file.  Which sub id you want to direct a message to is
generally determined at run time and is not a static field. For instance if
you were to send an order to the Singapore market, you can direct it as
follows:

FIX41::NewOrderSingle order;
// add fields to order
order.getHeader().set(FIX::TargetSubID("P"));
FIX::Session::sendToTarget(order);

This will use (P) as the target sub id.  You can replace this with any
other string to direct it to another market.

All of this is assuming that TargetSubID is the field you need to set.  If
it turns out it is TargetCompID then you still only need one instance of
QuickFIX, however you will need to have it instantiate multiple sessions.
This is the nature of the protocol.

Hope this helps.

Hi Oren !!,
                I am facing a problem using quickfix , see there are 6
target sub id's in the singapore market (CLOB.R/P/K/L/O)so will i have to
use 6 different instances of ur fix engine to trade on 6 different target
subid's cause the configuration file has TargetsubId as a parameter which
can have only a single value..please advise.
            Regards,
                                Ashish Bhatnagar
