MWAT OCT 24
The first mandatory MWAT October 24 has been completed. A preliminary
operational report has been published at the NASDAQ OMX Member web and also
sent to the participants. A report including feedback from member reports will
be published on Wednesday Oct 28. 

Next mandatory MWAT is scheduled for November 7th. 

INET Nordic Launch Rehearsal moved to November 8-13
Based on member feedback we have moved the Launch rehearsal and roll back
scenarios to November 8-13. With the previous schedule, in total 6 days of INET
testing in pre prod would have been affected by migration activities, including
4 days the week before the MWAT Nov 7th. With the new schedule members can
focus on INET test prior to the Nov 7th and on launch rehearsal tests in the
week following. 

Integration with EMCF test system 
As a result of that the INET Nordic Launch Rehearsal test has been moved, the
integration schedule for EMCF test system had to be changed during the week of
Nov 9. The test systems will be connected to EMCF for testing of CCP trades
according to the schedule below. Please also note that the testing of the
Norwegian submarket is only possible on SAXESS.

INET Nordic Test Report for Checkpoint 9
Today the template for the INET Nordic test report has been published. This
report should be completed, signed and sent to NASDAQ OMX after Nov 9th and no
later than November 16th, to confirm that front office and back office
applications affected by the introduction of INET Nordic have been tested
according to applicable requirements. 
 
Trade reporting MWAT Oct 28 has been removed.
Based on feedback from Danish members the previously announced trade reporting
MWAT on Oct 28 has been removed. The tests offered in the UAT weeks and
Saturday MWATs will be sufficient. 

Disaster site failover on Oct 30 removed 
The disaster site failover scheduled for October 30 has been removed. November
20 is still scheduled for disaster site failover meaning that all operations
and connectivity will be on site B, allowing all members to verify a disaster
site failover scenario. 

Failover to the secondary site can be tested each Tuesday and Wednesday for
ITCH, OUCH and TIP. Failover to the 3rd FIX and FIX drop IP can be scheduled on
individual firm basis by contacting tech support.
