In 2015, CME Group introduced a new policy for the distribution and management of iLink session IDs as explained in the Update iLink Session ID Policy and Operational Guidelines. Now that rollout of the Market Segment Gateways is complete, that policy is being updated as noted below.
Please see important iLink Session Policy dates:
Please contact your Global Account Manager with any questions.
Effective Sunday, July 10 (trade date Monday, July 11), CME Group will continue implementing Streamlined Simple Binary Encoding (SBE) market data protocol. Streamlined SBE will replace the existing streamlined FIX/FAST market data protocol to align the market data protocol with MDP 3.0 encoding format.
Please refer to the table for the implementation schedule and client impact assessments.
| Streamlined SBE Market Data Protocol | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| SBE Feed | Production | New Release | Client Impact Assessment Availability |
| Blocks | Available | Available | Blocks Streamlined Conversion to SBE |
| Equity Indices - S&P & Dow Jones | July 10 | Available | Equity Indices Streamlined Conversion to SBE |
| Equity Indices - Bloomberg | August 7 | July 5 | Equity Indices Streamlined Conversion to SBE |
| Eris | September 11 | August 8 | TBD |
| OTC-EOD | September 25 | August 22 | TBD |
A new SBE config.xml file for production is now available for customer download from CME Group FTP site.
The new Streamlined SBE schema is currently available in New Release. This new schema file includes support for Equity Indices, Eris and OTC-EOD.
Customer systems receiving market data via Streamlined SBE must complete a mandatory certification suite for each market type.
Additional details on each streamlined SBE conversions will be announced in future Globex Notices.
Effective Sunday, July 10 (trade date Monday, July 11), in order to provide more transparency between iLink order entry and MDP 3.0 market data, iLink will support a new FIX tag 5979-RequestTime on all Convenience Gateway (CGW) and Market Segment Gateway (MSGW) sessions. Tag 5979-RequestTime is currently available for customer testing.
This new timestamp represents the time the customer iLink message was received by the Market Segment Gateway and had FIFO order handling applied. The new tag will provide the date and time, in Universal Time Coordinated (UTC), represented in nanoseconds past the UNIX epoch time (00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970) with microsecond precision.
Tag 5979-RequestTime will be added to all iLink application messages sent from CME Globex to the client system, except for the following application messages:
Additionally, no administrative messages sent from CME Globex to the client system will include tag 5979-RequestTime.
For unsolicited outbound messages (e.g. trade cancel, end of day eliminations, unsolicited cancels, etc.) where there are no iLink inbound messages , tag 5979 will represent the time at which the transaction is processed on the trading engine in nanoseconds.
| Tag | FIX Name | Req | Format | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5979 | RequestTime | N | Int (20) | Information carried on a response to convey the time (UTC) when the request was received by the MSGW application.UTC timestamps are sent in number of nanoseconds since UNIX epoch withmicrosecond precision. |
With this launch, tag 60-TransactTime will be redefined to the time when a customer iLink message reaches MSGW where applicable. Otherwise, tag 60 value will continue to represent trading engine event time as it does today.
Customers may use iLink tag 60 or tag 5979 interchangeably, depending on the level of timestamp granularity needed, and can leverage them in combination with the MDP 3.0 tag 60 value.
Please note that:
More details on the new timestamp are available in the New iLink Architecture client impact assessment.
Starting on Sunday, September 25 (trade date Monday, September 26), CME Group will begin implementing new MDP 3.0 SBE schema files to support the upcoming Market by Order, Triangulation and Consolidated Fills initiatives on CME Globex. For more information regarding these initiatives, please see the CME Group Customer Forum. With the new MDP 3.0 SBE schema release, CME Group expects up to a 10% bandwidth increase per market data channel.
In order to ease customer development efforts, the new SBE schema files will support Template Extension. CME Group recommends that the new Schema file be downloaded and implemented on the production launch date for each channel.
