CME updates on EBS reporting migration
To support the integration of EBS Markets with CME Group technology, existing EBS reports will be updated. These updates will take effect starting with Early Access and complete with the launch of EBS Market on CME Globex.
Changes include report format changes, changes in how reports will be distributed, and an overall update in the process for recipients to obtain secure access to their reports via the Enterprise Reporting Portal (EREP) or CME SFTP.
Enterprise Reporting (EREP) is a browser-based tool that enables firm users to search, view, and print or download CME Group pre-processed reports. Users may save any report listed on EREP to file, zip, or PDF. This feature offers customers the flexibility to review and reconcile reports in various formats and is typically the tool used for most traders to view and download their daily reports.
Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) is a network transmission protocol that uses a Secure Shell (SSH) connection and public / private key pair to authenticate access prior to sending and receiving files over a secure connection. SFTP is typically used for firms to set up a centralized, systematic method for receiving reports into their systems.
The Back Office Admin Manager will authorize an authority figure to manage the SFTP Folder. This person will have the responsibility for managing SFTP IDs and granting permission to additional individuals to create and manage SFTP Ids.
To ensure continued access to EBS Reports, please take the following actions:
- Report recipients obtain a CME Group Login.
- Report recipients request access to EREP and/or SFTP through their firm’s Back Office Admin Manager.
- Admin Managers should complete and submit EBS EREP and SFTP Report Registration Form(s)
When submitting these forms, each user will need to specify the roles or categories of reports for which they need access. If you do not know your designated Admin Manager, please reach out to Global Account Management.
Details on the reports available during Early Access are included on the EBS Market and eFIX Early Access section of Client Systems Wiki.
