  • Approximately 2:00 PM on December 20, 2025: SaaS instance ICCL@NCL invocation time

Impact Assessment

Operational Impact: Medium - All ICCL clearing members will experience a mandatory system transition during the mock session. Regular RTRMS access will be unavailable after 2:00 PM, requiring members to switch to the SaaS instance.

Market Impact: Low - This is a scheduled mock session for business continuity testing with no direct impact on trading or settlement operations.

Member Impact: Medium - Clearing members must ensure their teams are prepared to test the SaaS functionality and access systems through alternative links. Successful participation is critical for validating disaster recovery capabilities.

Technical Impact: Members need to verify they can access and operate through the SaaS instance URLs and that their existing credentials work properly in the ICCL@NCL environment across all relevant systems (N-MASS, CIM, NCMS.exe).

Impact Justification

Mandatory participation in mock session for business continuity testing affects all ICCL clearing members but is a scheduled test with no immediate market impact
