{{Quickfixn}} Disabling sessions

[Martin Adams]

Dynamic session capability has been added recently.

 

If you have the current master branch code, take a look the new methods in
IAcceptor and IInitiator interfaces.

 

This functionality won't let you disable a session, but will let you remove
a session entirely, which will achieve the same effect. If you want to
re-instate the session later, you'll have to add it back again.

 

Also note there's a currently an issue with this functionality (number 363).

What is the best/recommended way to disable an active session?

 

I have an application that supports multiple sessions active.  Currently, in
order to disable a session I have to stop my app, modify the session config
file, then start up again.  It would be nice to dynamically disable a
session without requiring a restart so that other active sessions are not
affected by the downtime.

 

I can currently force out a Logout message, which will terminate the active
session.  However, on the next cycle, I am (as an initiator) automatically
sending out a new LogOn message.

 

I had thought I could perhaps suppress the Logon by firing a DoNotSend
exception, however, this looks to only be supported in ToApp and not ToAdmin
and so this won't work.

 

Any suggestions welcome.

 

Thanks,
Campbell
