Message RejectionFIX Session rule violations are manifested through the Reject message. The receipt of a Reject message signals a serious violation of FIX Session rules. Appropriate action must immediately be taken by the receiver of a Reject message. A rejected message may be retransmitted by the sending application if a correction is appropriate.
The T4 FIX API can detect an extensive set of FIX session violations and will issue a Reject message. Even after a corrected retransmission, the T4 FIX API may choose to terminate the FIX Session per the gravity of the rejection.
Where possible, the T4 FIX API will provide a Reject message with a Reject Reason (Tag 373), Reference Message Type (Tag 372) and Reference Sequence Number (Tag 45). When a FIX session termination is forthcoming due to a FIX Session rejection, the T4 FIX API may provide a
Logout message with further details of the violation.
FIX Session rejects can be generated for many reasons - including gross protocol violation as empty tags, tags out of sequence, incorrect data types, etc. Following are common Rejection Reasons (Tag 373) detected by the T4 FIX API:
Rejection Reason
0 = Invalid tag number
1 = Required tag missing
2 = Tag not defined for this message type
3 = Undefined Tag
4 = Tag specified without a value
5 = Value is incorrect (out of range) for this tag#
6 = Incorrect data format for value
7 = Decryption problem
8 = Signature problem
9 = CompID problem
10 = SendingTime accuracy problem
11 = Invalid MsgType
12 = XML Validation error
13 = Tag appears more than once
14 = Tag specified out of required order
15 = Repeating group fields out of order
16 = Incorrect NumInGroup count for repeating group
17 = Non “data” value includes field delimiter (SOH character)
When the FIX Session is terminated due to a FIX Session reject, the T4 FIX API will expect a restart with a new FIX Session and sequence numbers reset to 1.
