Submitting Files

This topic contains submission guidelines for the CSV files. For each required functionality test, the CSV file must adhere to the CME Globex Front-End Audit Trail Requirements. Please review each page to determine the required columns and data validation standards for each functionality. The file must also adhere to the naming conventions of each column and it also must represent each of the columns identified as “Position”. Additional columns may be added at the end of the file for the internal use of the firm. If a value is not transmitted via the associated FIX value the field must be left blank.

The Client Systems Wiki page details each functionality and provides a list of the required columns that need to be captured in the audit trail. Some columns (e.g., message type, side, order qualifier) must capture the appropriate FIX value. In addition, for execution reports, some columns (such as message type and reject reason) must capture a combination of two FIX values. The values must be separated with two dashes (--).
