Subject One Final Clarification For Tomorrow's FIA Business Continuity Test
Notice Date 2004-10-08
Notice Number CMO0074
Effective Date  

Please note the following final points that clarify the clearing cycle portion of tomorrow’s FIA Business Continuity test. Please be sure to forward this notice to all test participants within your firm:

·Firms will receive 10 buy-side e-cbot trades plus an additional number of sell-side trade confirmations where they were the opposite side of another firm’s buy-side trade(s).

·These trades will be randomly selected across all CBT product groups.

·All CBT, as well as, CME trade confirmations generated Saturday, as part of the test will be identified in FEC with a trade id in the 300,000 range.

·Firms may also see a residual number of prior day’s CME or CBT electronic trades in the 100,000 – 299,999 id range in FEC.

NOTE: Please be aware that these residual trades are not part of the test and that TREX confirmation messages will not be generated. For test purposes, CME’s Electronic Trade Posting database was recreated as of 9:30 a.m. Friday (today), and these trades simply represent what was in the database prior to that time.
