Hi Jim, The problem I found with loading the FIXT.1.1 + FIX.5.0 repositories together was that when loading MsgType.xml my engine was expecting MsgType to be unique, so after loading FIXT.1.1 repository, when it starts loading the FIX.5.0 repository, it complains about duplicate MsgType, throws an exception and exits. I handled it by manually editing the FIX.5.0 repository and removing all the Session level MsgTypes which were already present in FIXT.1.1 repository. This worked, but I found it a dirty solution and didn't like it. I want to be able to deploy the FIX repository for a new version without any manual edits. Regards, K.
