Dear customer,

With this Newsflash, Deutsche Börse announces the launch of the last step of the ISV Registration & Software Management initiative. The Software Selection app and the respective enhancements in the ETI & FIX LF session ordering process are now available in the Member Section of Deutsche Börse Group.
 

As announced in Xetra Circular 019/24, Deutsche Börse introduced a new process for the selection of third-party software and launched the Software Selection app in the Member Section as of 14 February 2025.
 

The newly introduced app enables clients to select the third-party software used to connect to the ETI and / or FIX LF interfaces in simulation and / or production. The software that is visible for selection in this app is the software that has been registered by the Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) via the Software Registration app. 
 

All customers who have ETI and/or FIX LF sessions for simulation or production are required to select the software they use to connect to the respective interfaces via the new app until 13 June 2025 latest. 

If the respective software is not available in the selection list, clients are recommended to contact their ISVs to ensure the registration of this software via the Software Registration app. 
 

In case clients use in-house, self-developed software to connect to ETI and/or FIX LF interfaces, they are required to register this software via the Software Registration app. The registered software will be automatically selected for the owner of the software. 
 

Finally, as two new fields have been added to the ETI and/or FIX LF session ordering process in the Member Section as of 14 February 2025, clients are required to enhance their new and existing sessions with the details of software owner and software name by 13 June 2025. Please note that the new fields will become mandatory for the new sessions as of 18 April 2025. Thus, we strongly encourage the clients to complete the software registration and selection by that date to avoid any complications during the ordering of new sessions. 

More information on the details of the initiative and the Software Selection User Guide are available via the following path: Technology > T7 trading architecture >  ISV Registration & Software Management initiative.
