Reminder on Upcoming Decommissioning of the NYMEX Cleared Trades API version 1.1 and version 2.0
This notice serves as a reminder that the XML format version 1.1 and the outdated FIXML 4.4 version 2.0 of the NYMEX Cleared Trades application programming interface (API) are scheduled to be decommissioned on Thursday, September 1, 2005. Accordingly, the Exchange strongly encourages the firms currently using version 1.1 and version 2.0 to make the necessary code and configuration changes needed in order to migrate to version 3.0 before Thursday, September 1, 2005.

Version 3.0 was launched on Monday, February 28, 2005. Version 3.0 consisted of changes to the subscription code, requested enhancements to query and continues to use FIXML 4.4 for publishing/subscribing messages, but has implemented the Futures Industry Associations (FIA) Extension 1.1 located at http://fixprotocol.org/FIA2FIXML/.

The specification documentation for the version 3.0 of the NYMEX Cleared Trades API is now available on the Exchange's Developer's Dashboard website (https://www.services.nymex.com/ddash/).

Like the previous versions, version 3.0 allows Exchange Clearing Member firm employees and trading firm principals to view their Exchange trading, off-Exchange trading, and clearing activity via subscription and query messages.

As background, this API provides trade and allocation information from the following sources:
  1. NYMEX Division Trading Floor

  2. NYMEX ACCESS®

  3. NYMEX ClearPort® Trading

  4. NYMEX ClearPort® Clearing

  5. GLOBEX® e-miNY Exchange trades
