Eurex Repo F7 production v3.5 update (with optional API upgrade)

The Eurex Repo F7 simulation environment will be updated to version F7 release 3.5 on Saturday, April 10th, 2021. 
 
With the start of the business day on Monday, April 12th the software version for Repo F7 simulation will be 003.540.000.

On Saturday evening, an Implementation News ( https://www.eurex.com/ex-en/technology/f7/implementation-news ) will announce the completion of the update. After the update the production system will be technically available in unattended mode (no technical support).

Release 3.5 includes GUI enhancements as well as an optional F7 API upgrade. API customers (including ISVs) were provided a new set of updated XSDs for release 3.5 in the Eurex Repo member section, together with an updated F7 API manual describing all changes in detail. 

F7 API customers that choose not to introduce the new F7 API features may continue to use the Release 3.4 XSDs with the new software. However, it is always strongly recommended that all API customers perform a regression test during the simulation period.

The launch of the optional upgrade to version 3.5 in Eurex Repo F7 production is planned on Monday, April 12th 2021.
Release 3.5 includes enhancements affecting F7 Trading GUI and F7 API users (optional):

  • F7 GUI specific enhancements 
    • User PINs
    • Trade approvals (four-eyes)
    • New quote history
    • New re-submit feature for pre-trades 
    • Pre-trade window improvements

    • Smaller enhancements


  • F7 API specific enhancements (optional)
    • Trade approvals (four-eyes) 
    • New quote history

F7 GUI users are strongly recommended to clear the browser cache after the release introduction, to ensure that the newly introduced GUI functionalities behave correctly. 

Details on the various enhancements and features are described in the “Eurex Repo F7 3.5 Release Notes – Simulation version” which has been published in the Eurex Repo member section together with an updated F7 API manual and matching set of XSDs for v003.530.000.
