Identification of Step-in Broker

Imported from previous forum

[ original email was from Lisa Linton - ]
For step-out trades, how is the step-in broker identified in the allocation to the executing give-up broker? Is the step-in broker identified in the ExecBroker field (tag #76)? Also, is the step-in broker notified via another FIX allocation message?

I believe the purpose of ExecBroker, ClientID, etc. are for step-in and step-out scenarios, however, I personally do not have much expertise with those scenarios. If you would like, we can discuss your question and maybe post a better response.
