[Quickfix-developers] Logon Ack seqNo

[Shamanth <sha...@in...>]

Hi

I am using quickfix 1.8,

While testing due to some network problems we got disconnected from the =
"Acceptor". In the mean time, our "initiator" tried reconnecting to the =
"acceptor" every 30secs.=20
It tried it 8 times before it could get an ack for its logon message.=20

Problem1: Our initiator, sent 8 logon messages and only the 9th logon =
message was ack by the acceptor. But in the meantime, our initiator =
incremented its MsgSeqNo, so when both the initiator and acceptor got =
connected, there was a mismatch of SeqNo, and the "acceptor" send a =
resendRequest to the "initiator"
Question: Is there a way we can prevent the quickfix initiator from =
incrementing its SeqNo, if it did not receive Ack for its Logon msg.
NOTE: Only the SeqNo of the messages sent was incremented, while the =
SeqNo of the messages received was correct.


Problem2: After connecting again the Acceptor sent, a resend request =
FROM: 0 TO: 2147483647, our initiator had not sent so many messages, so =
it considers it as an error condition and stops responding to the =
acceptor. Is "2147483647" the maximum value in resend request as per fix =
protocol or should "0"(infinity) be considered as the max valueis =
considered as the maximum number?

thanks
