{{Quickfixn}} IndicationOfInterest - IOIid error

Tue Feb 11 08:29:23 PST 2020

Ok, I see what your problem is, and there's a few things going on here.

*1) You didn't say what FIX version you're supposed to be using*.  I
suspect you're trying to add a FIX42 field to a FIX44 message or
something.  Can you write code using fully-qualified types, e.g.
Quickfix.FIX42.IndicationOfInterest() ?

*2) Differences between FIX versions*: In FIX4x, the message type is
"IndicationOfInterest" in our current builds.  In FIX5+, it's "IOI".  (I
see that in the current FIXimate, it's "IOI" in all versions.  I'm not sure
why it's different in QF/n; I wonder if they back-changed it in FIX4x when
they released FIX5.  Strange.)

Anyway, if you're using FIX42, it's "IndicationOfInterest", and field 27 is
"IOIShares".
If you're FIX44, it's "IndicationOfInterest", and field 27 is "IOIQty".
If you're FIX50+, it's "IOI", and field 27 is "IOIQty".

*3) Be aware of custom data dictionaries: *Every counterparty is going to
fiddle with the data dictionary, and yours probably will too.  QF/n's
message/field classes are generated from the default DataDictionary.  To
handle customizations, you'll need to familiarize yourself with the generic
field getter/setters (such as I described in my previous response), or
regenerate code and make your own QF/n build.

Regardless, you'll also need to edit your FIXnn.xml DataDictionary file to
match your counterparty's customizations.  (Check their spec.)  The QF/n
engine will reject messages that don't conform to the DD that it is
configured with.

*4) I have a feeling I’m going to have to use a different FIX engine.*  Hey,
do what you have to do.  But QF/n is a good and proven engine, and at the
moment, it seems some of your issues are due more to being new to FIX than
the quirks of the engine.  (Oh-- and also due to your using VB.  In like 7
years, this is probably only the 3rd time I've fielded a question from
someone using VB!)
