This advisory is to let you know that the following enhancements are being deployed into the CTR Production environment this Friday, May 1, 2015:

• USI and USI Namespaces fields for all asset classes will be left blank for positions (valuation reports).

• To help with reconciliation and audit history, Prior USI and Prior USI Namespaces for Cleared Trades will be carried over to all versions of the trade.

As part of this release, the CTR application, for both Production and New Release will be brought down this Friday, 6:00 p.m. CST and will be unavailable for direct uploads or web services submissions.  Users should hold any submission until Sunday, 9:00 a.m. CT.

Further, users can continue to submit via FTP; however, the files will be queued up until the application is brought back up on Sunday, 9:00 a.m. CST.
