A preliminary operational report has been published at the NASDAQ OMX Member web and also sent to the participants. A report including feedback from member reports will be published on Wednesday Oct 28. Next mandatory MWAT is scheduled for November 7th. INET Nordic Launch Rehearsal moved to November 8-13 Based on member feedback we have moved the Launch rehearsal and roll back scenarios to November 8-13. With the previous schedule, in total 6 days of INET testing in pre prod would have been affected by migration activities, including 4 days the week before the MWAT Nov 7th. With the new schedule members can focus on INET test prior to the Nov 7th and on launch rehearsal tests in the week following. Integration with EMCF test system As a result of that the INET Nordic Launch Rehearsal test has been moved, the integration schedule for EMCF test system had to be changed during the week of Nov 9. The test systems will be connected to EMCF for testing of CCP trades according to the schedule below. Please also note that the testing of the Norwegian submarket is only possible on SAXESS.

The tests offered in the UAT weeks and Saturday MWATs will be sufficient. Disaster site failover on Oct 30 removed The disaster site failover scheduled for October 30 has been removed. November 20 is still scheduled for disaster site failover meaning that all operations and connectivity will be on site B, allowing all members to verify a disaster site failover scenario. Failover to the secondary site can be tested each Tuesday and Wednesday for ITCH, OUCH and TIP. Failover to the 3rd FIX and FIX drop IP can be scheduled on individual firm basis by contacting tech support.
