Re: [Quickfixj-users] Counterparty needs 141=Y to reset.

[Christoph J. <chr...@ma...>]

AFAIK FIX itself has no concept of session time. Maybe your counterparty's FIX session does not 
support the definition of start and end time.
But if you agreed with them that a new session will start at a defined time then they should set up 
a cronjob or whatever to have their session reset then.

Maybe double check that their time is equal to your time. E.g. we once had a problem with Bloomberg 
where the session was reset after a disconnection during the day and it turned out that they had 
configured a different time zone.

Your proposed solution seems to be fine.

Cheers,
Chris.
