CME ConfirmHub Environment Migration

Effective Sunday, September 13 (trade date September 14), CME ConfirmHub will complete migration of the Production and Disaster Recovery (DR) environments to a new CME ConfirmHub instance to improve customer performance, security and reliability. Test environments for Production and DR are currently available.

It is highly recommended that customers test the new environment prior to the CME ConfirmHub migration, and should be aware of the following:

  • Following migration, the existing URL (www2.confirmhub.com) will be updated with the new production IP address.
  • Applications should be checked to ensure customers can successfully connect.
    • In line with CME security policy, support for SSL versions 2 and 3 have been removed. ConfirmHub aligns with CME Group security hardening policies.
  • Manual steps may need to be taken to copy and install intermediate / root certificates. CME certificates are now signed by Symantec.
  • Customers with outbound firewall policies should ensure that rules are created for Production and Disaster Recovery.

To facilitate testing, Staging and Production replicas will be available prior to the cut-over dates:

  • All "test" data will be purged prior to go-live.

New - CME ConfirmHub Decommissioning and Functional Transition to CME STP

Effective December 31, 2016, CME ConfirmHub Portal and most features of the CME ConfirmHub API are slated to be decommissioned in order to simplify and harmonize CME Group’s post-trade portfolio management capabilities. To continue to support trade submission and viewing, many CME ConfirmHub features will be transitioned to CME STP.

Post-transition, only Bilateral and Cleared elsewhere trade submission capabilities will be available on CME ConfirmHub API.  The following features will be available on CME STP:

  • Confirmations from CME Group to the Client for Bilateral and Cleared Elsewhere deals
  • A new CME STP User Interface for viewing cleared trade records and trade confirmation letters

Please note:

  • CME ConfirmHub currently supports both exchange and broker-submitted versions of CME cleared trades. To streamline processing and minimize redundant data, CME STP will harmonize around a single exchange version optionally enriched with broker fee data. Enhancements to CME Direct and CME ClearPort API will allow brokers to submit trades for CME clearing which have been enriched with broker fee data.
  • All CME ConfirmHub API messages include a robust set of product reference data attributes. CME STP will support the following:
    • Exchange-defined product codes for all exchange-traded transactions (CME-cleared and cleared-elsewhere).  Comprehensive product reference data to be provided through alternative means by respective exchanges.
    • A robust set of product reference data attributes for Bilateral transactions

Trading Firm and Broker Firm Required Actions:

  • Trading Firms must migrate to CME STP from CME ConfirmHub by the end of the year to retrieve CME Cleared, Bilateral, and Cleared Elsewhere confirmations. See more here.
  • Broker Firms must enrich CME Cleared transactions with broker fees, if applicable, and submit all CME Cleared transactions using either CME Direct or CME ClearPort API. Bilateral and Cleared Elsewhere deals will continue to be submitted via ConfirmHub API. See more here.

For questions or to start the migration process, please contact STP@cmegroup.com, in the U.S. at +1 212 299 2361 and in Europe at +44 20 3379 3797.

How to watch UFC 249 live stream tonight

Source: www.androidcentral.com - Saturday, May 09, 2020
After being delayed back in April due to the coronavirus, UFC 249 is back on and we have all the details on how you can watch the highly anticipated event online or on TV in the U.S., Canada, UK and Australia. UFC 249 was originally scheduled to take place in Brooklyn, New York but the UFC had to relocate the event to the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida. However, while the event is back on, there won't be any fans in attendance for Saturday's fights for safety reasons. The venue may have changed and fans won't be crowded around the octagon but many of the fights originally scheduled for UFC 249 will be included on the new card. The biggest change though is that Tony Ferguson will now be taking on Justin Gaethje in the Interim UFC Lightweight Championship as Khabib Nurmagomedov is unable to leave his home country of Russia due to its coronavirus travel restrictions. Ferguson is known for his incredible cardio and pressure while Gaethje's kill or be killed mentality sets himself apart from the pack. Ferguson also hasn't lost a match since May 2012 and in that time, he's won 12 fights and defeated Kevin Lee, Anthony Pettis, Donald Cerrone and more. Gaethje on the other hand is on a three fight winning streak following back-to-back losses. In addition to the interim lightweight championship, Henry Cejudo will go up against Dominick Cruz for the UFC bantamweight championship. Elsewhere on the card, Francis Nga
