It is decided that Dalian Commodity Exchange (DCE) will conduct the networking tests of the trading system from 8:55 to 11:00 am on November 30 (Sunday) and December 7 (Sunday). The tests mainly involve two aspects: the first is to simulate the listing of corn starch product, and the second is to verify the optimizing and upgrading of the 6th phase system. All member units are requested to arrange relevant personnel of the trading system and the settlement system to participate in the tests.
The tests will retain the existing products and add new corn starch products with the 2-letter code of “cs”, for which a total of 6 contracts have been set up: cs1501, cs1503, cs1505, cs1507, cs1509, and cs1511. During the tests, the trading personnel of the member units should complete the testing work for all the functions such as logging-in, position opening, position closing, whether the trading data are correct, response speed of placing an order, feedback speed for reporting a transaction, real-time quotes, placing a preparatory order and the fund changes. After the settlement at closing, DCE will send the settlement data on the member service testing system (see Attachment 2 for the specific website), and the settlement personnel of the member units are requested to check whether the settlement data are correct.
The member units are requested to earnestly complete the tasks of the backup and restoration of the production data and the clean-up of the application system logs before and after the tests. After the tests, the member units are requested to fill in the online test feedback form on the production member service system.
