Connectivity Options

Connectivity – Current CHESS Flows (all users)


Today users all connect to CHESS using the CHESS proprietary EIS messaging over ASX Net, iVPN or other providers.

In the future the ASX are implementing industry recognised standards in terms of message protocols, security and providing users multiple

connectivity options to the new solution.

Connectivity Overview


Message Based Connectivity

11 |

Messaging Based ConnectivityMessage Queuing (AMQP – Advanced Message Queuing Protocol)


• Message Format: ISO 20022

• Message Transport: AMQP

• Network: ASX Net

• Secure guaranteed store and forward delivery

• Designed for financial markets

• Adopted by other clearing houses, e.g. Eurex

Clearing

• Open standards messaging protocol

• Expected minimal infrastructure

requirements

• ASX developing implementation model

and user experience

12 |

Messaging Based ConnectivitySWIFT


• Message Format: ISO 20022

• Message Transport: InterAct

• Network: SWIFTNet

FIX Gateway

• Secure guaranteed store and forward

delivery via SWIFT Gateway

• Users will need to be a SWIFT member

• Messages are routed using SWIFT

Distinguished Name (DN)

• Access is controlled through the ASX

administered CUG (Closed User Group)

• Messages are MX (not MT FIN messages)

• Messages are sent to / from CHESS (not

between other SWIFT users)

Ledger API Integration (Node)

14 |



• Transaction Format: DAML

equivalent ISO 20022 format

• Network: ASX Net

• Direct connectivity means no need for

separate message infrastructures

• Mutualised data maintains current state

• Applications can access mutualised data

and provide workflow through using DAML

• Interaction through Ledger API

15 |



Provides access to state on the ledger at any time, for example accounts, holdings, open

application requests

Access via the Ledger API which allows for the applications to transact and stream

Ledger API provides ability for multiple applications to connect concurrently (unlike AMQP and

SWIFT)

Ability to develop multi-party workflow using DAML (Digital Asset Modelling Language)

Browser Based Access

17 |


ASX CHESS Replacement FIX Gateway

• Network: ASX Net • Suitable for low volume users

• Support manual entry of all ISO 20022

messages

• Secure browser

• Manual capability to upload/download files

containing ISO 20022 content

• Supplementary use with other connectivity

options

18 |



CHESS ACCESS and CHESS PC

> The ASX currently provide two solutions to support CHESS connectivity, CHESS Access and CHESS PC, both these solutions will be decommissioned. Users of these products will need to select one of the previously described connectivity options

> For low volume users the new browser solution will provide equivalent functionality to that supported by CHESS PC today noting there is no automated upload / download of files.

Noteworthy points for PISPs

29 |

Account and Holder Creation

As part of the move to ISO20022, CHESS Registration details have been standardised

The existing ‘180’ field has been broken into component values; name, designation, address etc.

The end investor is now defined as a holder and the length restrictions increased to more accurately record the investors details


30 |

Real time settlement

Currently the settlement of mFund application and redemptions are settled as part of the daily CHESS settlement batch.

There are current limitations with this as orders need to be accepted by the batch cut off at 11.30am

With CHESS Replacement payments will be facilitated via real time.

ASX have been working with the Payment Providers and the RBA to define the solution, this will be a revised RTGS solution through the RBA / RITS system using ISO20022.


Customer Development Environment Overview

32 |

CDE Environment – Key points


Environment

• Environments primarily aimed at those developing their own software to interface with CHESS Replacement

• Each CSP user will have access to their own dedicated CDE

• Note, this means all users will have the same set of UICs

Functional versus non-functional

• Functional only environment for low volume message testing and should not be used for performance testing

• Does not contain enterprise security, resilience or fail-over models

• Should not be used for non-functional testing

33 |

CDE Environment – Key points


Data

• No CHESS production configuration or account data to be used in CDE

• CDE environments will be seeded with base static (calendars and securities) data

• CSP user transactional data will not be migrated when CDE environments are upgraded

• Where a CDE environment is refreshed CSP transactional data will not be persisted, therefore users

should develop re-runnable scripts to seed environments with their own test data

• CDE includes test auto-responders allowing users to simulate bilateral test scenarios
