In Q1 2014, CME Group launched the first Phase of new iLink Architecture, Market Segment Gateway (MSGW) for TAS markets only. In Q1 2015, CME Group will launch Phase 2 of this initiative, which will implement Market Segment Gateways throughout the rest of the iLink infrastructure, to provide:
All customers are encouraged to review the new iLink Architecture Client Impact Assessment.
The Phase 2 launch will allow customers to access the Market Segment Gateways directly which will involve a new session ID model, messaging and functionality changes. Customers may choose to access CME Globex markets through the MSGWs or the current Convenience Gateways (CGWs), which will continue to be supported and will route through the MSGWs.
Phase 2 will be launched over several weekends. Prior to each launch weekend, CME Group will conduct a mock trading session. MSGWs will be available in New Release for customer testing in Q4 2014. A new MSGW certification suite will be available in AutoCert+ in Q4 2014. Customer systems who want to connect directly to the MSGW must complete this mandatory certification. Additional information on the MSGW launch schedules and mock trading sessions will be published in the CME Globex Notices.

Beginning in October 2014, CME Group will introduce a new iLink failover process to improve customers’ ability to recover from a CME Globex component failure.
When a CME Globex component fails over from the primary to backup instance, customer iLink messages will be rejected with Session Level Reject (tag 35=3) messages including tag 58=Technical Error – Market Segment: <MarketSegmentID> is not available at this time. After the backup instance is up, order entry will be allowed again.
Currently messages sent during failover are not guaranteed to be acknowledged by CME Globex. This new iLink Failover Process change will affect all iLink sessions.
Detailed information including this failover behavior change is now available online.
The new iLink failover process will be available for customer testing in New Release in September.
Further details on the launch schedule will be published in future CME Globex Notices.

The client impact assessment, functional specifications, and message specifications provide detailed functionality and messaging information.
MDP 3.0 channels and functionality are currently available in New Release.
Please contact your Global Account Manager with any questions or concerns in the U.S. at +1 312 634 8700, in Europe at +44 203 379 3754 or in Asia at +65 6593 5505 for additional information.
Real Logic Ltd. and Informatica have collaborated to create open source tools that provide extensive support for Simple Binary Encoding (SBE), the messaging standard developed through the Financial Information Exchange (FIX) Trading Community. The SBE decoders will create an environment that can be used directly by customers or treated as a reference implementation that can be extended into custom solutions tailored to individual customer's needs. The information and tool are open to the public under an Apache Public License and available here.
Effective September 2014, with the production launch of MDP 3.0, iLink will introduce opt-in functionality for displaying tag 37-OrderID in the MDP 3.0 trade summary message (tag 35-MsgType=X). Tag 37 is the anonymous, CME Globex-assigned order identifier.
Customers may choose to opt-in their orders using the FPL-defined FIX tag 1091-PreTradeAnonymity. The Trade Summary message, which announces the trade to the marketplace, will include tag 37 values for orders where tag 1091=N. Tag 37 values will be published on market data for trades only.
Drop Copy will also support the new tag 1091 at launch.
The new iLink tag 1091 can be submitted on the following messages:
Tag 1091 will be returned on the following iLink messages only when a valid value is sent on the originating message:
If the tag 1091 value exceeds the max length of 1 byte, New Orders and Order Cancel/Replace Requests will be rejected with a Session Level Reject (35=3) and Mass Quotes and New Order Cross will be rejected with a Business Level Reject message (35=j) with tag 380-BusinessRejectReason = 0. Any invalid value will be ignored and the tag 37 will not be displayed in the Trade Summary message.
Current iLink message specifications are available online.
Certification is not required for iLink and Drop Copy customers who wish to use the new opt-in tag 1091. All customers are required to certify for and migrate to the new MDP 3.0 market data.
Tag 1091 is currently available for customer testing in New Release.

Effective Sunday, September 7 (trade date Monday, September 8) the Wheat-Corn intercommodity spread on CME Globex will be modified to Wheat futures minus Corn futures (tag 1151-Security group=ZW-ZC, tag 55-Symbol=ZW). Currently, Wheat-Corn intercommodity spread is listed as Corn futures minus Wheat futures (tag 1151-Security group=ZC-ZW, tag 55-Symbol=ZW).

With this change, the Wheat-Corn intercommodity spread on CME Globex will be consistent with the Wheat-Corn spread construction on open outcry and consistent with the orientation of the CBOT Wheat-Corn intercommodity spread option.
The Wheat-Corn intercommodity spread reflects one Wheat futures contract of a specified maturity, and one opposing Corn futures contract of a maturity month. The Wheat-Corn intercommodity spread will be calculated as the Wheat futures price in centsper bushels – the Corn futures price in centsper bushels.
To facilitate these changes, customers are asked to cancel all Good 'Till Cancel (GTC) and Good 'Till Date (GTD) orders for the impacted spread after their close on Friday, September 5. After 16:00 CT on Friday, September 5, all remaining GTC and GTD orders for these spreads will be cancelled by the CME Group Global Command Center (GCC).
