I have a FIXServer and FIXClient quickfix application. The client on connection immediately shows:

The server shows:

I looked this up on http://www.fixtradingcommunity.org/FIXimate/FIXimate3.0/ and it is "Number of entries in Market Data message."
It looks like the server is sending Marketdata and not specifying the number of NoMDEntries? It is a bit strange, because for the Java version anyway, it appears this field gets set automatically, e.g., http://www.quickfixj.org/quickfixj/usermanual/1.5.3/usage/repeating_groups.html
This is the line that causes the problem in the client as it is getting MarketData from the server. I added the try catch block so I could see the exception myself, but it gives less information than if I let QF handle the exception and sending it back to the server through [OUT:]
void MyApplication::fromApp( const FIX::Message& message, const FIX::SessionID& sessionID )
throw( FIX::FieldNotFound, FIX::IncorrectDataFormat, FIX::IncorrectTagValue, FIX::UnsupportedMessageType )
{
std::cout << std::endl << "IN: " << message << std::endl;
try
{
crack( message, sessionID );
}
catch(std::exception& ex)
{
//I suppose I could comment out FIX::FieldNotFound above in the throw clause and ignore this exception
/// here since it seems that the thing is plain wrong since the field IS there!!??
std::cout << "crack exception: " << ex.what() << "\n";
}
}
