Oops, you are right, is already covered for all mass action messages including OrderMassCancelRequest. I should not have underestimated Rikard and the quality of his proposals! Avoiding duplicate party information by dropping TargetParties is interesting but should only apply when the sender of the request wants to cancel his own orders. This should be a usage guideline. It should not apply if the sender does not need to identify himself through the regular Parties block (you called it RootParties). In this case, only TargetParties should be used for MassCancelRequestType = "Cancel orders for specified party" and the regular Parties block should not be present. Do you see more cases where TargetParties could be dropped? > Hanno - > > That makes sense but it would be nice to have the ability to drop the > TargetParties block if it is the same as RootParties when > MassCancelRequestType is "Cancel orders for specified party".
