Value is incorrect (out of range) for this tag when adding new message type

i have added a new message type like it is described in the guide here. http://quickfixn.org/tutorial/custom-fields-groups-and-messages.html but i am getting an error when i send it to my acceptor

this is the error i get from the acceptor:

Value is incorrect (out of range) for this tag

i have tried changing the enum of the msgType to make it more unique. also, changing the configuration to use a different version of the FIX protocol BeginString=FIXT.1.1 to FIX.4.4

Solution

  • after searching ALOT, i have found a solution.

    make sure that you did the following:

    1. add the new message type to your custom data dictionary

    2. used the data dictionary in the configuration AppDataDictionary=./glossary/FIX50SP2_CUSTOM.xml

    3. updated the transportDataDictionary - add your custom message to it
