QuickFIX / n未连接

Question

I have a implementation of QuickFIX/n that I have given to a client. It connects to the Currenex RFQ system. They experience a issue when the start up the application occasionally. No errors are getting thrown, and it works fine in my testing. The only way they can successfully get it to connect is to restart their entire server.

I have no idea why this is happening and it doesn't thrown any errors. I have my entire fix connection wrapped in a try|catch statement, so I don't know what else I could be missing. Below is my connect method. The code executes and all the logging is hit, but the logon message is never sent.

I'm at my wits end and so is our client, any pointers would be a huge help.

Code:

public void Connect()
    {
        try
        {
        string beginString = "FIX.4.2";
        MemoryStoreFactory storeFactory = new MemoryStoreFactory();
        MessageStoreFactory msgFactory;
        LogFactory logfactory;
        SessionSettings settings = new SessionSettings();
        QuickFix.Dictionary entry = new QuickFix.Dictionary();

        entry.SetString("ConnectionType", "initiator");
        entry.SetString("ReconnectInterval", "1");
        entry.SetString("SocketConnectHost", this.fixHost);
        entry.SetString("FileLogPath", this.workingDirectory + "logs");
        entry.SetString("FileStorePath", this.workingDirectory + "logs");
        entry.SetString("StartTime", "23:59:59");
        entry.SetString("EndTime", "23:59:59");
        entry.SetString("HeartBtInt", "30");
        entry.SetString("SocketNodelay", "Y");
        //entry.SetString("SocketTrafficClass", "IPTOS_LOWDELAY");
        entry.SetString("ResetSeqNumFlag", "Y");
        //entry.SetString("UseDataDictionary", "N");
        entry.SetString("DataDictionary", this.workingDirectory + "FixResourceFiles\\FIX42.xml");
        entry.SetString("ResetOnLogout", "Y");
        entry.SetString("ResetOnDisconnect", "Y");
        entry.SetString("CheckLatency", "N");
        entry.SetString("SocketConnectPort", this.fixPort);

        this.sessionId = new QuickFix.SessionID(beginString, this.senderCompId, this.targetCompId, DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMddhhmmssfff"));

        settings.Set(this.sessionId, entry);

        if (this.storeAllQuickFixMsgs)
        {
            logfactory = new FileLogFactory(settings);
        }
        else
        {
            logfactory = new ScreenLogFactory(settings);
        }

        msgFactory = new FileStoreFactory(settings);

        Logger.MsgLog("Creating QuickFIX Socket Initiator...");
        QuickFix.Transport.SocketInitiator init = new QuickFix.Transport.SocketInitiator(this, msgFactory, settings);
        //this.socketInitiator = new QuickFix.Transport.SocketInitiator(this, msgFactory, settings, logfactory);
        this.socketInitiator = init;


        Logger.MsgLog("Starting Socket Initiator...");
        this.socketInitiator.Start();
        Logger.MsgLog("Started");

        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Logger.MsgLog("Error on FIX Connection: " + ex);
        }
    }

Answer 1

Check the below two lines:

entry.SetString("StartTime", "23:59:59");
entry.SetString("EndTime", "23:59:59");

I guess this is why you might be facing issues. The initiator will only start at StartTime. Your client might be starting it at some other time?
