Re: [Quickfix-developers] Stopping and starting individual Sessions?

[Oren M. <or...@qu...>]

Yeah, but you only need to call logout.  You don't want to call 
disconnect because that will force a connection by shutting down the 
socket.  Calling logout alone will allow QuickFIX to go through the 
proper logout sequence before shutting down.  The logon call will then 
reawaken the session when you want to bring it back up.

We have talked about adding dynamic session configuration.  I think it 
will become one of the primary focuses for the next release.
