Quite a few of the people who signed up for the Singapore event did not turn up. Although this was quite sad, those who did turn up had a great time.

Hopefully the number of no-shows was not due to finding the location or the time/day of the week. We will organize it more together with the attendees next time and do wish that everyone is having a great week. [...]

what version of murex are you running?

in the most recent binary release for 2.11.x (x being greater than 38), murex has suggested upgrades to java 1.6 and the version of sybase was 15.0.x.

it would be better to contact your murex support.

The bank needed a front to back treasury platform for derivatives products, including market risk and credit risk management. The Murex implementation, which was delivered in just six months, meets these requirements by supporting all aspects of the derivatives business including trading, structuring, sales, accounting and straight through processing (confirmations, settlements, payments), as well as market and credit risk management.

Guy Otayek, chief executive officer of Murex Asia, comments: “Our proven MXpress methodology is a key factor in enabling us to deliver this IT project to the State Bank of India on schedule and to a high quality, while also minimising risk. Following the successful implementation, we hope to work with the State Bank of India in the future to introduce a front to back office credit derivatives platform. Our work with the bank further strengthens our position in both the Indian and Asian regions as a leading provider of integrated treasury solutions.”

The MX.3 treasury platform is in use by a number of leading financial institutions in India, including public and private sector banks, as well as corporates.

This is just a quick reminder about the upcoming events next month:

This depends on how the bonds are being valued? (ie. the bond EvalMode) and whether you have Credit Risk selection set to Manual/Automatic.

Looking forward to your help, [...]

Golden words indeed and good to hear that this would be fixed in the next release.

I was talking about the Back End fixing , The error we got was MxMsg012 ( Mop Subtype doesnot match the type )

You are right that we would face problem in case a restructure had been performed earlier . In that scenario we would modify the FXNG_DBF table to do the needful. [...]

We had similar problems on the same version, though it’s not completely clear what the specific issue you had was and that could give you trouble if you get to a trade which can’t simply be C&Rd (e.g. if it had been restructured). The fixing migration procedure to 3.1 is a bit complex so if you get stuck again in the future here are some things to consider: [...]

OIS is plain. The colour of the rate is in black ( which means already fixed ). I believe the problem is coming from migration , so basically the fixing event which happened on the deal ( on 2.1 version) is not there in Mx3.1.

A new cancel and reissue , and customising the fixing to new value , did solve the problem. [...]

> did a cancel and reissue on the deal to reinstate it. Still I cannot > modify the fixing .

Are you using plain OIS or maybe OIS average rates? Later one may be a bit confusing as the index estimation is derived from the underlying index fixings as long as the average index is not fixed for the given period. What color is the rate value in the flow schedule of the deal? [...]

The easiest solution probably would be to cancel the deal and to book it again back-dated. Murex database challenges might cause a lot of headaches, and although it might be interesting to find out why this is happening, it will probably cost more time than it is worth. Migrations from 2.1x to 3.1 might cause issues, depending on how you migrated. [...]

I am facing problem modifying a fixing on an OIS . I talked to the BA and he said there might be issue with the migration( 2.1 to 3.1 ) . So i did a cancel and reissue on the deal to reinstate it. Still I cannot modify the fixing . [...]
