Technical Informational Note:
CME FIX/FAST Market Data Operators Release update and the OnixS directConnect: CME Market Data Handler implementations

Tuesday: 15th May 2012 - The CME published a Critical System Update alert on the 7th May regarding changes to the FIX/FAST template operators on the CME Market Data feed. This is an technical advisory regarding this change.

Effective Sunday, 3rd June, 2012, the field operators (copy, default, delta and increment) will be removed from the CME FX futures channels 11 and 60 in the production environment.

These operators will be removed from all production FIX/FAST channels on the CME Market Data Platform by Sunday, 4th November, 2012. Detailed schedules for every channel will be published in the CME Globex and Market Data Notices.

New templates will be required for the impacted channels. The new templates for the 3rd June change are currently available in New Release, and also in Production as of Sunday, 13th May. CME Group recommends customer systems pull the templates from the CME Group ftp site every week, prior to Sunday startup.

These changes are available on all FIX/FAST channels in the New Release environment on Monday, May 14.

Other than the updates to the CME FIX/FAST Decoding templates as advised in this CME alert, there are no OnixS software update required to existing OnixS directConnect: CME Market Data Handler implementations for this change.
