User Acceptance Test FINRA TRACE Securitized Products Replatform
As part of its Transparency Services improvement initiative, beginning Monday, May 19, 2025, FINRA will re-platform TRACE Securitized Products (SP) to a new Linux-based operating system. FINRA requires client testing participation in this effort to validate that all processes work within the TRACE reporting framework. TRACE clients who utilize FIX for SP trade entry and other transactions should test all FIX Tags to ensure they are properly being processed, and SPDS and SPDS-144A data recipients should process the feeds to ensure proper data consumption.
FINRA will sponsor a production User Acceptance Test (UAT) on Saturday, April 5, 2025, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. ET. TRACE clients are strongly encouraged to participate in this test to ensure their systems and processes work effectively in the new platform.
Clients who wish to participate in this test must register with FINRA Market Operations or at 866.776.0800 no later than noon on Thursday, April 3, 2025.
Any client who chooses to test should connect to their production systems on that day; the trading day will be Saturday, April 5, 2025. The TRACE data feeds will operate via production ports and IP Addresses during this test. FINRA will clear out all transactions at the end of the test.
The UAT will start at approximately 9 a.m. ET and end at approximately 12 p.m. ET.
