QuickFix Repeating group inside another group

Question

According to documentation, I have a group inside group. The group called "NoPositionsGroup" contains 2 groups:

NoPosKeysGroup - contains tags 5026 and 5027
NoPosItemsGroup - contains tags 5029 and 5030

The problem is when I recive a message from Fix server (see Incoming message below) My application response "Reject" message becouse don`t understand that tag 5026 contains inside child group.

I think that I mistaken in my dictionary description, but don`t understand where is the mistake. Please suggest me correct way to describe it. I think that the problem in description nested groups.

My message description inside dictionary is following:

I found my mistake.

The group in FIX dictionary must have the same number as group counter field. I.E. In my example tag 20000 - must be deleted as we already have default group called "NoPositions". Tag 20001 - must be deleted too, instead of it should use tag 5025. Tag 20002 - again must be deleted and should use tag 2058 instead of it.

The tags 5025 and 5028 must have type = "NUMINGROUP"

Look also at my answer. You should NOT specify the group counter field alone but it should be part of the component. – Christoph John Mar 21 '23 at 14:44

Your data dictionary seems to be wrong in several places, also for example for the Parties component.

You have:

    <field name='NoPartyIDs' required='N'/>
    <component name='Parties' required='Y'/>

But it should actually be like this:

<component name='Parties' required='N' />
... and further below in the dictionary ...
<component name='Parties'>
   <group name='NoPartyIDs' required='N'>
    <field name='PartyID' required='N' />
    <field name='PartyIDSource' required='N' />
    <field name='PartyRole' required='N' />
    <component name='PtysSubGrp' required='N' />
   </group>
  </component>

I assume that is the problem with your other groups also.
