MSSQL script: Wrong data type for creation_time
My problem
Today I found out that, while the creation_time is saved following the specified timezone set in the configuration, it's not saving the timezone in the database, what makes StateMachine.CheckSessionTime behave weird.
How I found out
Config
- BeginString=FIXT.1.1
- StartTime=09:40:00
- EndTime=19:00:00
- Weekdays=Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri
- TimeZone=Local (which is UTC-3 in the machine where I found this)
- ... more
Initially, my session was created with creation_time set at "2024-08-20 12:35:37.787", which is fine, but the session kept resetting and I found out that if I set StartTime=09:35:37 (or before) it works.
I assume this is because creation_time doesn't specify timezone, what makes the code assume it is in UTC and reduce 3 hours from it, thus making creation_time out of range
I think I understand the problem, and I think the only repo that might have a solution for us to follow here would be quickfix-j. I think changing the datatype for this db field is the wrong way to go, those db scripts are standard across all quickfix implementations, therefore the solution must be in code. If you could push a unit test that fails and demonstrates the problem that would help.
Sorry for the late response.
Currently I don't have the time to do so, I'm sorry, and I, honestly, don't know how to rn. I'm quite new to Golang and I've been learning the FIX protocol for a few days only.
I wanted to let you know about this issue
