RE: [Quickfix-developers] Help - multiple client connections

Paul,

You cannot have two connections established with the same
BeginString/SenderCompID/TargetCompID.  This is a unique identifier that
FIX must use to maintain a set of sequence numbers.  Attempting to
connect two times with the same session id will not succeed. =20
=20
What you can do is establish one connection and use the SenderSubID
field to indicate which path of execution the message should follow.
Alternatively you can have two connections, but you will need two
different TargetCompIDs for your client to connect to.

Subject: [Quickfix-developers] Help - multiple client connections
=20
Hi List,
=20
I have developed a client application based upon
threadedsocketinitiator. (Quickfix C++)
=20
I am running the basic executor program to process messages from this
client.
=20
In the client I want to have 2 connections to the executor as we route
order flow within our system along 2 separate paths.
=20
When I now start my client the fist connection is created successfully
and a login message is sent out.  The second connection however just
sits there doing nothing, i.e. not logging on to the executor.  Please
note that I do not want each of these connections to have a separate
SenderCompID!
Is there away to accomplish this architecture?
=20
Many thanks in advance, any help would be greatly appreciated.
