Is there a way to set ResetSeqNumFlag=Y using the Quickfix config?

As I know there is no way to do it.

I had a situation when after logon I got logout message with the text

MsgSeqNum too low, expecting 194 but received 16 Logon

I have looked through the manual and played with reset options in config:

ResetOnLogout=Y
ResetOnLogon=Y
ResetOnDisconnect=Y
ResetOnError=Y

None of them adds ResetSeqNumFlag=Y to logon message. So I had to do it manually at #toAdmin method.

What was the StartTime and EndTime of your counterparty? Normally if the two parties (you & counterparty) have these same settings, a hard reset of sequence numbers isn't necessary. Both just do it under the hood and will have reset sequence numbers when logging on at StartTime. I.e. none of the `ResetOnXXX` would have to be set in that case. – TT. Oct 20 '17 at 11:01
I think that could be the reason. I set wrong times before. To check if hard reset is not necessary I need to wait to tomorrow – Nickolay Kondratenko Oct 20 '17 at 14:15
Make sure your time zone is set correctly in your settings along with your start/end time. – TT. Oct 20 '17 at 14:16
I did it as well – Nickolay Kondratenko Oct 20 '17 at 14:16

Look at the "Miscellaneous" section of the manual:

There are several reset options (Logon/Logout/Disconnect/Error etc.)

Still dont get why there isnt a simple ResetSeqNumFlag option...ResetOnLogon didnt seem to do this but I set all the options to Y and it seemed to set the flag. – DD. Mar 21 '12 at 23:57
