Eurex Clearing FpML, TradeEntry API and Margin Calculator Interface: AMQP software upgrade

The AMQP software used on Eurex Clearing’s FpML, TradeEntry API and Margin Calculator Interfaces will get a new upgrade (Red Hat MRG Messaging 3.2). EurexOTC Clear Clearing Members and ISVs using the interface should test their applications during simulation and consider upgrading the AMQP libraries used in their software to the latest available version. Clearing Members using the WebSphere MQ connectivity are not affected by this change.

After the upgrade, Eurex Clearing AMQP brokers will support local transactions and idle timeout/heartbeat when using the AMQP 1.0 protocol. Additionally, the AMQP broker will enforce a limit of 10 simultaneous connections per account.

The upgraded software will be available in the simulation environment as of start of business on 23 January 2017; in the production environment as of start of business on 6 February 2017.
