[Quickfix-developers] SocketInitiator vs SocketAcceptor

[Min T. <mi...@op...>]

Hi,

I have just installed QuickFix for Windows/Java, and run the included Executor example. Everything works fine so far. Now I am using (modifying) the Banzai example and trying to send Order to Executor. I have two questions here.

1. If Executor works as server and Banzai works as client, I have to instance a SocketInitiator in Banzai, right?

2. I failed to create a SocketInitiator instance, my config file is as following, have I missed anything?

  # default settings for sessions
  [DEFAULT]
  SocketAcceptPort=7089
  ConnectionType=initator
  ReconnectInterval=60
  SenderCompID=TA

  # session definition
  [SESSION]
  BeginString=FIX.4.2
  TargetCompID=INCA
  StartTime=12:30:00
  EndTime=21:30:00
  ReconnectInterval=30
  HeartBtInt=30
  SocketConnectPort=7088
  SocketConnectHost=localhost
  DataDictionary=c:\quickfix\spec\FIX42.xml

  # Storage
  FileStorePath=c:\quickfix\ta

Thanks a lot,

Min Tang
