Oslo Børs’ test environment (CDS) will be upgraded to Release 9.2 with MiFID II adaptions on Wednesday 26 July. The Oslo Børs Record Keeping Gateway will be available for test from the same date, and will enable members to test short code mappings using dummy identifiers.
CDS will initially be configured according to MiFID II go-live state, with all required validations in place, but with dummy values for thresholds. By mid-August, Oslo Børs will adjust the configuration for some instruments to reflect the expected 9.2 technical go-live state, without MiFID II validations in place. From this date, members will be able to test both configurations (9.2 technical go-live and MiFID II go-live) for different instruments in CDS.
Please note that there are a few known functional issues that will be fixed in a later upgrade of CDS. A complete list of these issues may be found on our Delta web pages.
Updated reference data files with MiFID II related changes will be available 25 July after market close.
In preparation for the CDS upgrade Oslo Børs will perform maintenance work in the test environment on Friday 21 July, Monday 24 July and Tuesday 25 July, during which CDS will not be available.
Oslo Børs Record Keeping Gateway
The new Oslo Børs Record Keeping Gateway will be available in the CDS test environment, and will allow members to test the reporting of mappings from short ids to client identifiers as required by MiFID II RTS 24. However, please note that since this is a test environment only, we request that all testing is done using dummy values and not real personal data. More information about this system, including connectivity and enablement details, is available on our Delta web pages.
If you have any other questions or comments, you are always welcome to contact one of Oslo Børs’ main contact points (below).
