2. Overview
The Group Ticker Plant Dress Rehearsal will take place on the 30 January 2016. It will
provide customers the first opportunity to interact with the Group Ticker Plant Phase 2
Production architecture. Offered to facilitate customer testing, ensure correct network
addressing and performance-tune applications, the Customer Dress Rehearsal is
expected to be the final stage of readiness prior to go-live.
LSEG will announce details of our go-live schedule following the Customer Dress
Rehearsal.
3. Customer Participation
For customers subscribing to the new Phase 2 full-depth incremental services from go-live,
the Customer Dress Rehearsal is considered mandatory and customers should plan to
attend. Furthermore, for customers affected by the CDDI suspension (i.e. those customers
currently subscribed to Borsa Italiana cash equity market data feeds from the Londonbased estate who have to migrate to the Milan-based estate, and those customers
currently subscribed to London Stock Exchange cash equity market data feeds from the
Milan-based estate who have to migrate to the London-based estate), should consider this
Customer Dress Rehearsal mandatory; those customers affected by the temporary
suspension of CDDI have already been contacted.
All other customers can optionally participate in the Customer Dress Rehearsal.
3.1
Preparing for the Customer Dress Rehearsal
Customers with proprietary software should ensure they have completed their Certification
test ahead of the Customer Dress Rehearsal; only customer applications considered as
certified are permitted access to Production environments. Customers interacting with
Production environments using an Independent Software Vendor (ISV) should ensure they
have received and deployed a compatible version ahead of weekend testing.
Customers should also ensure they register their intended attendance at the Customer
Dress Rehearsal – further details are provided in Section 5.1 – Registration.
3.2
Success Criteria
Those customers deemed mandatory as per Section 3 – Customer Participation of this
document, are required to confirm receipt of real-time data for each Production service line
to which they subscribe. Customers should also test CompID connectivity to each Replay
and/or Recovery service for which they are enabled.
Customers should confirm successful completion of the Customer Dress Rehearsal to their
Technical Account Manager via email.
