Common Report Engine (CRE): Infrastructure Changes

Due to the increase of reports and in anticipation of the T7 cash market migration, Deutsche Börse is upgrading the Common Report Engine (CRE) infrastructure. A new load balancer for Members using leased line connectivity will be introduced.

The new clustered load balancer will provide convenient access to the least utilised node.

Members will receive the server key/fingerprint (see attachments) for the communication via the CRE servers connected to the load balancer. The existing IP addresses will not change.

The server key which is currently in use will NOT be valid after the activation of the new load balancer.

The installation of the new load balancer is planned in two steps:

  • Step 1: Wednesday, 25 January 2017. Leased lines using the IP address 193.29.90.65 (circuits connecting to back-end half A) will be affected.
  • Step 2:  Wednesday, 8 February 2017. Leased lines using the IP address 193.29.90.97 (circuits connecting to back-end half B) will be affected.

The time for the changes will always be 16:00 CET.

We strongly recommend our Members to integrate this new server key within their local CRE programming environments shortly before the changes are implemented.

Internet connections to the CRE will not be changed and may therefore also be used as a backup solution in case of problems.
