Dear customer,

To enable a more consistent delivery, with regards to latency in fast markets, SIX Financial Information Nordics will introduce a new filtering algorithm on the Netfeed Standard feed. The aim is to ensure a better balance between the dissemination of order book, quote and trade messages by restricting the update frequency of order book and quote messages. This will eliminate the latency that may occur as a result of peak load situations. The filtering algorithm is used to control the bandwidth and message rate in order to reduce the load on downstream applications.

The new algorithm will be introduced during our service window on September 19, 2015. It is already installed on our Netfeed test environment services.test.six-telekurs.se:50001.

For latency critical systems we recommend our high-capacity streaming feed, the Netfeed Premium service. For more information please contact your sales representative at SIX Financial Information Nordic.

 

Best Regards,

SIX Financial Information Nordic

Update: Due to customer feedback SIX Financial Information Nordic have decided to postpone this change until September 12, 2015. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

News articles retrieved in XML format from the following products will be affected:

Netfeed

Netfeed Premium

SIXiQ

News articles retrieved in XML format from the following tables will be affected:

/hist/news

Differences between the new and old NewsML format:

· The basic formatting will be changed where indentation and line breaks will be removed.

· XML Attributes will be delivered in sorted order.

· XML Tags are in a different sort order.

· XML Tags without content no longer have a separate end tag.

· Added Property FormalName="DisplayName"

For a more detailed view of the difference between the new and the old news format, please look at the example files in the “New and Old XML format for SIX News” file that can be found at: http://sixpapi.six.se/en-us/downloads.aspx.

Fixed a problem with reconnect not reconnecting that occur during network issues.

*Fixed bug in SnapshotRequester. Columns in a IDataRow consists of an array with Fields.A Field consists of a FieldInfo and a Value. When the Sixp returns the answer for a snapshot request some columns might be omitted due to the fact that they haven’t got a value. In this case the Value ofthe Field should be set to null, but instead Field was set to null.This is now corrected.

A small update will be applied to the SIXP Netfeed server pool to fix a minor problem after the last SIXP 6.3 update. The updatewill be in production as of Tuesday, December 17th, 2013 and the upgrade will take place during the morning between0600 and 0730 local time ( UTC +1 ).The updated server version will be available for testing on the SIXP Netfeed test environment ( services.test.six-telekurs.se )as of December 13th 1000 local time ( UTC +1 ).
