Quickfix session setup : logout sent before logon from initiator

My QuickFIX client is sending logout before login everyday. Is it possible not to have this logout message sent before login ... ?

Followings are the setting I am using now:

[default]
FileStorePath=/home/quickfix/crons/exe/quickfix/filestore
ConnectionType=initiator
SenderCompID=TN7_42
TargetCompID=EMS
SocketConnectHost=xxxxx
TimeZone=Asia/Tokyo
StartTime=07:50:00 Asia/Tokyo
EndTime=20:00:00 Asia/Tokyo
HeartBtInt=30
ReconnectInterval=5
CheckLatency=N
UseLocalTime=Y

[session]
BeginString=FIX.4.2
SocketConnectPort=12061
ResetOnLogon=Y
ResetOnLogout=Y
ResetOnDisconnect=Y
RefreshOnLogon=N

.. and following is the log message I get everyday:

You're being bitten by bug QFJ-357, which although it is against the Java project also seems to be an issue for the straight C++ version.

This has actually been fixed in trunk for C++ by the fix in revision 2269.

Incoming sequence number is less than expected

This says it all. The sequence number being sent in the FIX message to the acceptor has a different sequence number then expected from the acceptor, hence the forced logoff message. This is done primarily to keep both the acceptor and initiator in sync while sending and receiving messages.

There is a flag in the config which mentions to reset all sequence numbers during connection. Use that flag to get over this problem for now, but better stick with the original sequence numbers. In the reject message you should get the sequence number being expected by the acceptor. Parse the sequence number and then start the logon process again.

Try making your session end time a bit earlier, and confirm that you are actually sending a logout due to the end time being reached, and not just terminating your application without logging out.

There also have been one or two bugs in QuickFIX around this area which did not exist in 1.12, so you might try that older version and see if it works better for you.
