[Quickfix-developers] Required tag Missing

[Perez, J. <JP...@Cr...>]

Folks: 

I have come across a problem with the QuickFix Engine in that it 

1) Rejects a Cancel Replace Message indicating that a required tag is
missing. No required tag is missing in the message. A second problem
exists: Assume the Cancel Replace Message had a sequence number of 4. 

2) Since the Cancel Replace arrives with a sequence number of 4, and the
quick Fix engine improperly rejected the valid message. It doesn't
consume the fact that sequence number 4 arrived and was rejected. 

It then begins sending resend requests to the customer. 


Has anyone run into this problem and, if so, how can it be fixed? 

(Below, I changed the sender and target compids. The rest of the message
is intact.)
