Eurex Clearing FIXML Interface: Change of WebSphere MQ message format

The WebSphere MQ message format will change to MQHRF2. This change is required in order to send MLID (Message Level ID) as a named property, which is already available to AMQP clients as an application property. Clearing Members need to ensure that their applications are able to correctly decode MQ messages in MQHRF2 format.

This change will become effective as follows:

  • in the simulation environment, as of start of business on 11 February 2019
  • in the production environment, as of start of business on 11 March 2019.

Volume A, chapter 5. “WebSphere MQ > 5.6 Data encoding” of the Eurex Clearing Messaging Interface Connectivity documentation has been updated accordingly and can be found on the Eurex Clearing website www.eurexclearing.com under the path:
