API Changes

 

Mandatory OMnet API changes for Commodities Clearing Members

  • BD18 (if used)

 

BD18 is broadcasted from the Genium INET Clearing system and contains information such as deliveries, settlement and fees. The corresponding window in Clearing Workstation 1 and Clearing Workstation 2 is “Clearing Information”.

 

In 0222, the content of the field “delivery_account” will no longer contain the clearing account (the account that the trade or position generating the delivery/settlement) but will instead contain the actual delivery/settlement account. The clearing account can instead be found in the field “clearing account”. For more information, please see the “OMNet Message Reference Guide 0222” or contact technicalsupport@nasdaqomx.com.

 

A test version of Clearing Workstation 1 is available for download on the member extranet and a Go-Live candidate will be released in February. It is mandatory for members using Clearing Workstation 1 to upgrade to the Go-Live candidate release.
