Genium Consolidated Feed 3.0 – Mandatory Test Period, Reminder and update


Dear Customer,

Nasdaq will switch the test environment used for mandatory Genium Consolidated Feed (GCF) 3.0 tests starting on April 7, 2015, to another test site. A new test environment GCF EXT2 will be used instead of EXT1 and EXT1 will remain available as a single site. This setup will avoid test environment downtime.

Access details to the new EXT2 site will be provided (including IP addresses to primary and secondary site) to same contact that received the user details to test environment EXT1.

Tests will take place April 7-17, 2015, and the purpose of the test is to verify that customers have implemented support for protocol changes and connectivity via SoupBin protocol without implications for the service. Verifications are required for the following:

  • Login to system
  • Session request
  • Failover
  • Logoff

Related to failover testing there will be a forced disconnection each day at 14:00 (CET) during the test period.

Nasdaq will be monitoring the system logs during the test period, but customers are themselves obliged to report the outcome of their tests.

Please report your test results and possible problems to dataproducts@nasdaq.com
