[Quickfix-developers] Session startup and seqnum reset

[Martin T. <mta...@ho...>]

Hi,

My fix application is using these initiator parameters.  I want the 
session's seqnum to be reset once every day at start time.

[DEFAULT]
ConnectionType=initiator
ReconnectInterval=1
FileStorePath=Store
FileLogPath=logs
UseDataDictionary=N
ResetOnLogout=N
ResetOnDisconnect=N
StartDay=monday
EndDay=saturday

[SESSION]
StartTime=12:00:00
EndTime=00:00:01
HeartBtInt=10
BeginString=FIX.4.1
SenderCompID=mySenderCompID
TargetCompID=myTargetID
SocketConnectHost= some.ip
SocketConnectPort=some.port

What is happening, is that between each weekday, there is no session's 
seqnum reset.  But on the TargetCompID side, they reset their seqnum every 
day.  Is there another parameter to add other than ResetOnLogout or 
ResetOnDisconnect to get my session's seqnum reset everyday ?

Thanks
Martin

Resetting sequence numbers means to start a new session, ie a FIX session=
 starts with=20
number 1 and lasts until the sequence is reset to 1.

> ConnectionType=3Dinitiator
> ReconnectInterval=3D1

> FileLogPath=3Dlogs
> UseDataDictionary=3DN
> ResetOnLogout=3DN
> ResetOnDisconnect=3DN
> StartDay=3Dmonday
> EndDay=3Dsaturday

Using StartDay and EndDay you request weeklong sessions, ie session start=
s on Monday
and ends on Saturday. Therefore, the reset is done only on Saturday.

Just remove the "StartDay" and "EndDay" in the DEFAULT section.
