What do I need to do by when?

For Approved Trading Venues (ATVs)

•        ATVs will be advised of the fix gateway to connect to as part of the failover and failback;

•        ASX will be validating access to each system as part of the failover process, participants validation is not required;

•        ASX is running each key system in reverse configuration, meaning that full system redundancy is available for the duration of the DR test;

•        All ASX benchmark DR systems are full replica environments, meaning there will be no service degradation as a result of the DR test; and

•        ASX is not failing over any aspect of the network access infrastructure solution;

•        The ASX CTS team will liaise with the ATVs on the technical requirements of the DR testing.

 For Participants

•     Participants procedures and access methods are not changed as a result of the DR test;
