With this circular, ECC announce additional information regarding the modernization of the C7 FIXML Interface (update to Circular 05/25 under Details of the Initiative), providing further details of the initiative regarding the Connection Test and Fallback Approach. ECC is committed to providing a reliable and secure clearing environment. This provides direct connectivity for derivatives clearing activities for CM and connected NCMs.
This modernization will involve two key improvements:
- Enhanced technology: Java version 17 will be supported, which offers improved performance and stability.
- Strengthened security: The Deutsche Börse PKI infrastructure will be implemented for a more robust security posture.
The migration to the new process is scheduled for Q2 2025:
- 23 May 2025: The new process was available for testing in the SIMU environment.
- 14 June 2025: The new process will be mandatory in the PROD environment.
