Is there a way to disable the sending of ResendRequest Message?

Resend Request logic is the FIX session mechanism by which a given system, upon detecting a higher than expected message sequence number from its counterparty, requests a range of ordered messages resent from the counterparty. The counterparty resends the requested message range sequentially until both systems are back in sequence

As the market I'm working on wants to rely only on the NextExpectedMsgSeqNum, is there a way to disable the sending of ResendRequest messages by Quickfix engine?

i.e. : Configuration parameter: EnableResendRequest=Y|N

Solution

  • I've added this parameter SendRedundantResendRequests=N to my Quickfix settings file. It's efficient, so i can avoid the sending of this message.
