FIX 5.0 : StandardHeader

Structure | Used In

Description

Each message, administrative or application, is preceded by a standard header. The header is used to identify the message type, length, destination, sequence number, origination point and time.

Two fields are provided for use when resending messages. The PossDupFlag <43> is set when resending a message as the result of a session level event (i.e. the retransmission of a message reusing a sequence number). The PossResend <97> is set when reissuing a message with a new sequence number (e.g. resending an order). The receiving application should process these messages as follows:

  • PossDupFlag <43> - if a message with this sequence number has been previously received, ignore message, if not, process normally.
  • PossResend <97> - forward message to application and determine if previously received (i.e. verify order id and parameters)
