RE: [Quickfix-developers] Intermittent disconnect problem

[Bishop, B. <Bar...@gs...>]

Hello Oren,

Thanks for the reply.

Sounds to me like I should try version 1.9.2 or later in  our production
environment. I have been unable to reproduce the mysterious disconnect in
our QA system to the same client, but this is not surprising as it is so
infrequent. I have been simulating it by breaking something else in the
chain (which would appear as a client disconnect) so this would explain the
lack of an explanation from quickfix.

I will try this over the next few days and report back.

Thanks again,
barry

Barry,

For every disconnect that QuickFIX initiates, there should be a reason
provided (not with 1.4.0, but with the new releases).  With 1.9.4 (available
now), QuickFIX also displays a "Dropped Connection" message if the
disconnect is initiated by the peer (1.9.2, does not differentiate).  That
should help you to verify if it is QuickFIX that is initiating the
disconnect.  I don't think there are any more cases where QuickFIX initiates
a disconnect without providing a reason.  If the couterparty drops the
connection, then unless they provide information in the form of a reject or
logoff text, there is little QuickFIX can do to determine the cause.  The
best that we can probably do is report whether the socket was dropped
gracefully, and therefore intentionally, or if it was an abnormal disconnect
of some sort.

Is there anything significantly different about this new client?  Does their
logs reveal anything about the nature of the disconnect?
