Most exchanges I have worked with - will not permit participants to send in a Session Level Reject (35=3) back to the exchange. This is one of those inappropriate responses usually resolved during certification. However, that doesn’t mean that an Exchange should not anticipate this in their FIX engines.

I was wondering what folks considered the correct response to a Session Level Reject (35=3) inbound to the exchange? Obviously, this should be logged as an ERROR so that monitoring systems can be programmed to alert to the problem.

Responses choices include:

  1. Do nothing but log the error
  2. Reject the Session Level Reject with another Session Level Reject saying “Session Level Rejects are not accepted”
  3. Reject the Session Level Reject with a Business Message Reject saying “Session Level Rejects are not accepted”
  4. Logoff the participant.
  5. None of the above / or some other alternative.

Thoughts?

Response should be a combination of (1) and (3) whereby “Reject the Session Level Reject with a Business Message Reject saying Session Level Rejects are not acceptable” and log the error. The error logging will enable any monitoring system to pick up the message and do the necessary.
