ASX will conduct a business continuity test in the production ASX 24 environment on Saturday 27 February 2021. It is expected that all trading participants will participate in the test.
The test period will be from 13:00 to 17:00 AEDT. A connectivity window will be provided before transactions can be submitted.
The test is to confirm functionality during ASX 24 component fail over from the primary to secondary ASX site and to confirm connectivity is maintained when primary ASX Net connections are failed over.

On completion of the test, customers must email CTS their test status, advising of either a successful completion or a list of outstanding issues.
ASX intends to have all failover scenarios completed as early as possible in the test schedule to allow customers to complete their validation. The remaining test window is to allow for ASX internal system validations separate to the failover scenarios.
Confirmations can be sent as soon as these scenarios have been completed on the day, but should be sent by no later than 17:00 AEDT.
The ASX 24 platform will start up earlier than usual on Sunday 28 February at 13:00 to facilitate any early connectivity testing.
It is suggested that where required test participants liaise with their vendors prior to the test to ensure readiness.
