VOLUME 25 – BULLETIN #025

TO:	ALL CLEARING PARTICIPANTS
FROM:	CLIENT SERVICES AND SUPPORT
DATE:	May 16, 2005
SUBJECT:	Mainframe Migration Online Report Distribution

As previously announced The Clearing Corporation is in the process of migrating its mainframe applications to a distributed CCorp environment through a phased approach. Firms should be working with the communications staff at the Clearing Corporation to make the necessary IP Address updates for MQM, FTP, and 3270 emulation. Old IP Addresses should not be deleted until the full migration has been completed.

The phased migration approach includes a new report distribution application, Web Report Distribution (WRD), which will replace the current report distribution method. WRD will also give firms the ability to download a comma delimited print file into an Excel spreadsheet format or print as a PDF document. CCorp will continue to categorize reports by a report topic ID shown below:

Report topics have been placed in four groups, and users will have access to reports via a defined group.

All current users will be defaulted to group all at the launch of WRD, except group ATOM, New York ATOM reports. Firms back office managers that want to review a list of users and make changes to the defaulted groups should contact client services at the Clearing Corporation css@clearingcorp.com. WRD will be running parallel to the current INFOPAC system in June, and is planned to be fully implemented by the end of August.
