[Quickfix-developers] tag 11 format restrictions and new clordid in cxl and repl msg

[Asim <asi...@ya...>]

Hi all - my first post here, Just started looking into q.fix.
 
While using quickfix API, all the orderids set has to be maintained by
the application? Or the api can do that as well ? ya know..clorder,
orderid, origclorderid.in cxls and cxl replace messages,
Also some firms have diff requirement in cxl messages..like they never
want a new clorderid in cxl message and no new clorderid in cxl/replace
msg allowed while reducing quantity, Looks like violating fix rules?
Another prob is some firms restrict the client sides to format their
clorder like yyyymmdd-999, whereas others leave it on order sending
firm's discretion.
So I was wondering if quickfix has the capability to cope with these
variant requirements?
 
Please help!
 
Thanks,
Asim
