Re: [Quickfix-developers] Problem in Sending and Recieving messagesusingQuickFIX

Hi,
    Yes you were exactly right. When I made the changes in the cfg file (pointed the DataDictionaryPath to the place where my XML file was) , my acceptor has started
receiving the messages with Repeating Groups also.
    Thanks for the help.

    Besides I have one more doubt and I hope you can help me out. The problem is that, I am now trying to use my initiator with the acceptor which uses SunGard FIXEngine
4.5. Here when I am trying to Logon, I am always receiving Logout message. That is because the authentication is failing or some other problem. But when I look at the Logs
of the SunGard program, it shows that it had received the Logon message from my initiator and it had also sent me the Logon message in response. But I am not receiving this
message. Besides this, the logs of the SunGard program says that there is some communication problem.
    What could be the possible area where I am erring? And what are the possible reasons for communication problem ? I have posted this query to SunGard  also. But if u
could help me out then it would be really great !!

Thanx and Rgds,
Pramod.
