Topics in this issue include:
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.
Details on the new iLink Architecture roadmap can be found online. For an overview of the new iLink architecture, please review the iLink Architecture webinar.

The release of the new iLink Failover Process scheduled in October 2014, has been postponed. A new launch date will be published in the CME Globex Notices when available.
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 Q4 2014.
Further details on the launch schedule will be published in future CME Globex Notices.

The final state will be announced via the CME Globex Notices.
TAS Pre-Open Validation
Order entry will be permitted in TAS (Trade at Settlement) markets as soon as the Pre-Open state message is published, regardless of whether it is received first via the FIX/FAST or MDP 3.0 feeds. The CME Group Market Regulation rules for TAS Transactions can be found here.
†Mock Trading Session
A Mock Trading Session will be held this Saturday, November 8, and Saturday, December 6, for:
Customers must certify and register online to participate. For more information about the Mock Trading Session please view the Mock Trading Guide.
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.
Starting Sunday, September 28 (trade date Monday, September 29), and following the production launch of MDP 3.0 channels, 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-OrderID is the anonymous, CME Globex-assigned order identifier.
Following the production launch of each MDP 3.0 channel, 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-OrderID values for orders where tag 1091=N. Tag 37-OrderID values will be published on market data for trades only.
Drop Copy will also support the new tag 1091-PreTradeAnonymity at launch.
The new iLink tag 1091-PreTradeAnonymity can be submitted on the following messages:
Tag 1091-PreTradeAnonymity will be returned on the following iLink messages only when a valid value is sent on the originating message:
Please note that tag 1091-PreTradeAnonymity will only have an effect after the production launch of each MDP 3.0 channel.
If the tag 1091-PreTradeAnonymity 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-OrderID 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-PreTradeAnonymity. All customers are required to certify for and migrate to the new MDP 3.0.
Tag 1091-PreTradeAnonymity is currently available for customer testing in New Release.

Effective this † Sunday, November 9 (for trade date Monday, November 3) CME Globex will add the Negative Price Eligibility flag in the Security Definition (tag 35-MsgType=d) message for eligible User Defined Spreads (UDS).
This launch will be phased in as follows:
Launch Schedule | ||
---|---|---|
Production Launch Date | Market Segment | Tag 1300 MarketSegmentID |
Sunday, November 9 | CME FX options | 52 |
NYMEX and COMEX options | 56 | |
TBD | All remaining markets | * |
Currently, CME Globex accepts orders and mass quotes with negative prices for Buy-Sell options strategies, with the exception of Option Strategies tag 762-SecuritySubType=VT, BO, CO, IB, IC, or BX, but the Negative Price Eligibility flag in the Security Definition message is not populated.
With this change, the following tags and values will be used to identify this eligibility via the Security Definition messages for UDS. There are no changes to the current functionality.

† Effective Sunday, December 21 (trade date Monday, December 22), pending regulatory review periods, CME Group will launch enhancements to the CME Globex Self-Match Prevention (SMP).
† This launch will be phased in as follows:
Self-Match Prevention Enhancements | ||
---|---|---|
Tag 1300-MarketSegementID | Market Segment | Production launch |
76 | NYMEX and COMEX Metals and Alternative Market futures | December 21, 2014 |
* | All remaining markets | January 11, 2014 |
With these enhancements, iLink customers will be able to dictate whether the resting or aggressing order is cancelled in the event of a self-match. In addition, for FIFO-only markets, orders will only be cancelled if they would have matched. Currently, when Self-Match Prevention is triggered, CME Globex cancels all resting orders with the same SMP ID and Executing Firm ID at all executable price levels.
This launch introduces new iLink tags and values. Detailed information, including messaging impacts and launch schedules, is available in the Client Impact Assessment. The new SMP enhancements are currently available for customer testing in New Release. Customer certification is not required, but CME Group strongly recommends all system providers test these changes thoroughly 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.

Effective Sunday, January 11, CME Globex is introducing an Automated iLink Port Closure solution to protect CME Group markets and systems from potentially detrimental behavior. This solution is an enhancement to the CME Globex Port Closure Policy introduced in January 2012.
With this enhancement, CME Globex will automatically logout and close both the primary and backup ports for any iLink session that exceeds 5 invalid Logon (tag 35=A) messages in 60 seconds. Logon messages may be invalid due to:
Automated iLink Port Closure can also be triggered by customers sending messages other than a Logon when the session has not been successfully logged in.
When triggered, CME Globex will send a Logout message (tag 35=5) with tag 58-Text="(1000) CME Administered Port Closure Due to Invalid Number of Login Attempts Being Exceeded". Sessions with active-active fault tolerance will receive the Logout message on both the primary and backup instances. Sessions without fault tolerance will only receive the Logout on the primary instance, but both the primary and backup ports will be closed.
Primary and secondary clearing firm members must contact the Global Command Center directly to have a port re-opened. The GCC can be reached at 800.438.8616 in the USA, 44.800.898.013 in Europe, and 65.6532.5010 in Asia.
Automated iLink Port Closure will be available for customer testing in New Release on Monday, November 10. To facilitate customer testing, the parameters in New Release will be 10 invalid Logon (tag 35=A) messages in 60 seconds.
In Q1 2015, CME Group will introduce a new Drop Copy implementation to provide further consistency across iLink and Drop Copy. The new Drop Copy 4.0 implementation will have both functional and messaging changes as compared to the existing Drop Copy service.
The new Drop Copy 4.0 implementations will include:
The client impact assessment, functional specifications, and message specifications provide detailed functionality and messaging information.
The existing implementation of Drop Copy will be phased out on a date to be published in the CME Globex Notices. All customers leveraging the Drop Copy service must be certified by that date.
With the new implementation, the Drop Copy service will have a new session model where customers will have access to two types of target sessions:
To facilitate migration to the new Drop Copy service, CME Group will support a parallel feed. Traffic from Convenience Gateway source sessions will be available via their current Drop Copy IPs and ports and via the new Drop Copy 4.0 IPs and ports. Certification is required for production access to Drop Copy 4.0. Please coordinate your migration with the CME Group Account Manager.
Upon completion of the Drop Copy 4.0 certification, customers can request Drop Copy CGW and/or Drop Copy MSGW target sessions.
Certification and New Release Drop Copy sessions will be re-issued by your to Global Account Manager upon customer request.
A new Drop Copy certification suite will be available in AutoCert+. Customer systems leveraging the Drop Copy service must complete this mandatory certification.
Certification environments for customer testing will be available in Q4 2014.

Please refer to the CME Group Globex Messaging Efficiency Program Benchmarks for the applicable ratios.
In order to ensure that this change has been accurately processed by the CME Group Messaging Accounting System (MAS), CME Group will re-run all applicable potential surcharges for executing firms at the end of November 2014.
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.
Earlier this year, CME Group requested executing firms supply the CME Global Command Center (GCC) with Outbound Contacts in an effort to more efficiently resolve error trade and related technical issues. Beginning Monday, November 3, CME Group will no longer process iLink session requests for any executing firm that has not supplied the GCC with its Outbound Contact information.
GCC Outbound Contacts are defined as follows:
CME Globex GCC Outbound Contact Description | ||
---|---|---|
Role | Description | |
GCC Outbound Error Trade Contact | Person, phone number or email address (individual or vanity) which the GCC uses to contact/notify an executing firm regarding an error trade. | |
GCC Outbound iLink Session Technical Contact | Person, phone number, email address (individual or vanity) which the GCC uses to contact/notify an executing firm regarding technical issues such as improper sequence numbering or a runaway automated trading system (ATS). |
To register your firm’s Outbound Contact information with the GCC, please contact your Global Account Manager in the U.S. at +1 312 634 8700, in Europe at +44 203 379 3754, in Asia at +65 6593 5505.
Additional information on outbound contact is available online.
Effective Monday, November 17, the CME Global Command Center (GCC) will begin to support GCC Inbound Contacts based on the FirmSoft permissions authorized through the FirmSoft Admin tool for their SMART Click user ID. The GCC will continue to support existing GCC Inbound Contacts based on a previously submitted CME Globex Schedule 3&4 until Tuesday, March 31, 2015. After this date, only users with a SMART Click ID and permissioned FirmSoft rights will be considered GCC Inbound Contacts with the necessary permission(s) to status and/or cancel orders.
As a reminder, a SMART Click ID is a unique user ID that allows access to CME Group applications. The SMART Click ID is retained by the user even when the user changes firms (clearing or trading). All users should only have 1 SMART Click ID. Additional SMART Click information is available online.
Please note that as a result of this new model, Clearing Firm Administrators will no longer be required to submit a CME Globex Schedule 3&4 to register GCC Inbound Contacts. Instead, the Administrators will use the FirmSoft tool to enable permissions for GCC Inbound Contacts as necessary.
In instances where a GCC Inbound Contact’s SMART Click ID is permissioned in FirmSoft, but the GCC Inbound Contact also has legacy permissions which were established by a CME Globex Schedule 3&4, the GCC will first refer to the SMART Click permissions in FirmSoft. GCC Inbound callers may have to ask the GCC to look at their old permissions established via a CME Globex Schedule 3&4 if they are not fully set up in FirmSoft.
FirmSoft provides more granularity than the existing CME Globex Schedule 3&4, and includes Firm, Session ID, Account and Tag50 permissions. To help support this transition, the CME Globex Schedule 3&4 will no longer be utilized when adding new GCC Inbound contacts but still should be utilized when adding new primary or secondary Clearing Firm Administrators as well as new EOS Trader users.
Reports are available in the Firm Administrator Dashboard for both GCC Inbound registered contacts and FirmSoft user permissions. Firm Administrators are strongly encouraged to review existing SMART Click contact information and FirmSoft permissions on a periodic basis to ensure accuracy.
CME Direct, GALAX-C and EOS Trader users will continue to be supported as they are today.
If you have any questions about the new GCC Inbound Contact process, please contact your Global Account Manager in the U.S. at +1 312 634 8700, in Europe at +44 203 379 3754 or in Asia at +65 6593 5505.
Effective Thursday, January 1, 2015, the CME Globex Port Closure fee will increase from $500 to $1,000.

Effective Sunday, January 11, CME Globex is introducing an Automated iLink Port Closure solution to protect CME Group markets and systems from potentially detrimental behavior. This solution is an enhancement to the CME Globex Port Closure Policy introduced in January 2012.
With this enhancement, CME Globex will automatically logout and close both the primary and backup ports for any iLink session that exceeds 5 invalid Logon (tag 35=A) messages in 60 seconds. Logon messages may be invalid due to:
Automated iLink Port Closure can also be triggered by customers sending messages other than a Logon when the session has not been successfully logged in.
When triggered, CME Globex will send a Logout message (tag 35=5) with tag 58-Text="(1000) CME Administered Port Closure Due to Invalid Number of Login Attempts Being Exceeded". Sessions with active-active fault tolerance will receive the Logout message on both the primary and backup instances. Sessions without fault tolerance will only receive the Logout on the primary instance, but both the primary and backup ports will be closed.
Primary and secondary clearing firm members must contact the Global Command Center directly to have a port re-opened. The GCC can be reached at 800.438.8616 in the USA, 44.800.898.013 in Europe, and 65.6532.5010 in Asia.
Automated iLink Port Closure will be available for customer testing in New Release on Monday, November 10. To facilitate customer testing, the parameters in New Release will be 10 invalid Logon (tag 35=A) messages in 60 seconds.
