Ok, this is what is probably going on.  In order to parse messages with
repeating groups, you must supply a data dictionary to your receiving
application.  It is the data dictionary that tells your app how to properly
parse these messages.  FIX has certain rules about which field is the
delimiter, what order these fields need to be in etc.  What is probably
happening is you don't have your data dictionary set to anything.  It is
therefore considering the message garbled and the engine is ignoring it.
I'd say try assigining the FIX42.xml as the data dictionary to your
acceptor and see if you get better results.

Hi,
    Thanks for the quick response.
    As for your query, the fromAdmin function of my initiator is also not
called and no reject message is received.
    Besides for your information, the message thats displayed in the log
file and the toApp function is as given below.

    The values i have entered is,
    SenderCompID = CLIENT1
    TargetCompID = TW
    NoRelatedSym = 2
    Symbol = IBM
    Symbol = INTEL
    QuoteReqID = QR1

    and the message i get is

8=FIX.4.2`9=78`35=R`34=8`49=CLIENT1`52=20020806-12:23:43`56=TW`131=QR1`146=2`55=IBM`55=INTEL`10=082


     What do you think are the possible areas where i could have erred ?
Besides i tried giving MassQuote and here too when theres a repeating group
then the message is not
recieved by the Acceptor. I hope theres no problems in the message that are
being generated.

Thanks,
Rgds,
Pramod.

Hi,
    Yes you were exactly right. When I made the changes in the cfg file (pointed the DataDictionaryPath to the place where my XML file was) , my acceptor has started
receiving the messages with Repeating Groups also.
    Thanks for the help.

    Besides I have one more doubt and I hope you can help me out. The problem is that, I am now trying to use my initiator with the acceptor which uses SunGard FIXEngine
4.5. Here when I am trying to Logon, I am always receiving Logout message. That is because the authentication is failing or some other problem. But when I look at the Logs
of the SunGard program, it shows that it had received the Logon message from my initiator and it had also sent me the Logon message in response. But I am not receiving this
message. Besides this, the logs of the SunGard program says that there is some communication problem.
    What could be the possible area where I am erring? And what are the possible reasons for communication problem ? I have posted this query to SunGard  also. But if u
could help me out then it would be really great !!

Thanx and Rgds,
Pramod.
