Heartbeat

Imported from previous forum

Hi folks, I have got a naive question regarding heartbeat. Suppose A and B are communicating with each other. During a normal session, A is sending out heartbeats every HeartBtInt seconds. Meanwhile, if B sends out a Test Request, A is supposed to response with a heartbeat right away.

My question is, should the heartbeat from A respect to the HeartBtInt, or Test Request, or both?

Many thanks!

Yes, the other end(A) has to respond to a Test Request immediately with a heartbeat.

Actually the Test request sent out by B contains a field “TestRequestID”(FIX Tag112), A is supposed to respond immediately to the TestRequest with a Heartbeat containing the same TestRequestID in the text field (FIX tag 58). The TestRequestID can be any string.
