{{Quickfixn}} Scheduled task issues

[Rettenmier, Curt]

Francis,

172.18.133.178 is the IP of the server that has sTunnel configured. Then within the sTunnel.conf file you have the following entries to point to our third-party acceptor:
[FIXSERVER]
client = yes
accept = 172.18.133.178:1024
connect = 63.247.112.208:443
My connection issues are only when I try to run my QuickFix app as a scheduled task on a server when I am not logged on to the server.

Hi Curt,

Aren't you supposed to connect to 127.0.0.1 when using sTunnel?

Best regards,

Francis Gingras

We set up our internal application using QuickFix/n on a server as a scheduled task to run every morning at 4:00 a.m. Our app also utilizes sTunnel for data encryption. The task runs using a service account and we configured the task scheduler to run whether the user is logged on our not. The problem we are having is that the task runs when no one is logged on to the server but is not able to connect to our third-party. We implemented logging and the log is showing that the target machine (which is the server) is refusing the connection when our QuickFix app tries to connect. This will occur over and over. See log excerpt below.

When I logged on to the server this morning to check the task the logs show that the already running app will then successfully connect and work. See log excerpt below.  Also if I kick off the task myself and stay logged on to the machine (with different logon credentials) the app will connect and work just fine.

Any help would be appreciated.
