QuickFix error: Tag appears more than once in 'W' message

Question

I receive from the FIX server the following 'W' message:

8=FIX.4.2|9=141|35=W|34=98|49=CX|52=20150401-09:12:30.247|56=CACIB_MD2|55=608230|262=48|9883=IDB|268=2|269=0|58=No Bid Available|269=1|58=No Offer Available|10=249

which has tag 58 twice

and my QuickFix application automatically sends the reject message to the server:

8=FIX.4.2|9=104|35=3|34=91|49=CACIB_MD2|52=20150401-09:12:29.661|56=CX|45=90|58=Tag appears more than once|371=58|372=W|10=008

From reading in the internet I understood that there is a problem with the dictionary.

I don't have any dictionary configuration in my QuickFix config file. I am not exactly sure where the default dictionary resides, but one I found (FIX42.xml) defines that tag 58 is a part of group for 'W' message:

  <message name='MarketDataSnapshotFullRefresh' msgcat='app' msgtype='W'>

    <field name='Text' required='N' />
    <field name='EncodedTextLen' required='N' />
    <field name='EncodedText' required='N' />
   </group>
  </message>

Similar thing happens when 'W' message arrives not with two 58 tags, but with two 269 (MDEntryType) tags:

8=FIX.4.2|9=217|35=W|34=110|49=CX|52=20150401-09:23:19.787|56=CACIB_MD2|55=561832|262=26|9883=IDB|268=2|269=0|58=No Bid Available|269=1|270=123|271=1|272=20150401|273=09:23:19.551|59=0|126=20150401-19:23:19.551|290=1|9139=cacib_uat2|10=016

again QuickFix automatically sends reject:

8=FIX.4.2|9=107|35=3|34=111|49=CACIB_MD2|52=20150401-09:23:19.848|56=CX|45=110|58=Tag appears more than once|371=269|372=W|10=153

So what can be done here?

Answer 1

Use the following flag in your configuration file.It is Y by default, but check to be sure.

ValidateFieldsOutOfOrder=N

Confirm if the following is there in your configuration, default is Y anyway.You should always use a DataDictionary if you are using repeating groups, mentioned in the Quickfix configuration page.

UseDataDictionary=Y

And this has the path where your data dictionary is present.

DataDictionary=/path_to_data_dictionary_file

Thanks a lot! UseDataDictionary=Y and giving path to the dictionary worked. – Yorktown

I included all these values in my config file but, I still get the "tag appears more than once" error. – Forerunner

not worked for me as well. both UseDataDictionary=Y and DataDictionary=FIX50SP2-Venue.xml there but still giving error. – Subvene
