Why not reset sequence numbers
Bob Lamoureux
15 Sep 1997 8:10PM ETOne of the most poorly documented tenets of the FIX spec has been the fact that both parties must be able to re-transmit all messages pertaining to a particular session. Since sessions span across Logout boundaries, the sequence number series must be unique across all messages until a new session is established.
I like the idea of a flag indicating a new session but I think it should be in the LOGON message. People are not very religious about sending a LOGOUT to terminate the session (or the process gets killed by some scheduler program before the LOGOUT is sent.) However, *EVERYBODY* demands a successful LOGON message and a flag indicating this is a new session might work better here
