Impact Assessment
Operational Impact: Medium - All ICCL clearing members will experience a temporary shift from regular RTRMS system to SaaS instance during the mock session. Members must ensure technical readiness and staff availability to participate in testing.
Market Impact: Low - This is a mock session for business continuity testing purposes and does not affect actual trading or settlement operations. However, successful testing is critical for disaster recovery preparedness.
Member Preparedness: Members need to ensure they have access to pre-provided credentials for ICCL@NCL instance and technical infrastructure to access the SaaS URLs. The exercise tests the portability framework that would be crucial in actual business continuity scenarios.
System Scope: Affects multiple systems including RTRMS, N-MASS, CIM, and NCMS.exe, requiring comprehensive testing across all clearing member operational platforms.
Impact Justification
Mock session for testing business continuity infrastructure; operational preparedness exercise for clearing members with mandatory participation but no immediate market impact
