The solution is parameter driven, so the user can choose which type of instruments they wish the report to run on based upon a CFI code. For example, to return just options the reporting firm can populate the reference data with O*****. For future and options, populate the reference data (O*****|F*****). For all products use ******.

| DEV-565 | M84 Fix | TRAC_0805202 | A fix to validation number M84, The validation was not flagged where it should have been flagged due to an inaccuracy in the FIRDS lookup process. The process used to checks against all historical FIRDS listings for a single instrument and validate client data based on the full historical set. The correct approach is validate based on the active FIRDS records on the trading date.
The update fixed the FIRDS data lookup process by ensuring the correct FIRDS listing of an instrument is returned. This is done by returning and validating against all active FIRDS listings on the trading date time provided in the MIFIR transaction reports. |
