Please be aware, at the start of business September 8, 2014, trades executed on CME ClearPort will include a new party role 200 on trade update confirmations from the Clearing FIXML API. At the request of member firms, this attribute is now being added to all trades as it is currently present on allocation messages. The attribute will be present within the RptSide block.

For example, a change/update to a CME ClearPort trade done via the user interface will have the user ID of the individual who made the update.

This new attribute should be transparent to firms processing as it is a tag being added to an already existing report side block. As a reminder, FIXML records should use the attributes necessary for internal processing, and ignore attributes considered extraneous.

Testing opportunities are currently available in the certification environment.

For further information, please contact CME Clearing Services (CCS) at 312-207-2525 or ccs@cmegroup.com.
