Product FeaturesBack Office Bridge offers automated functionality to publish positions at any time for anygateway, product, or trader, based on any account, as defined within the application. Thepositions that are published can either come from back office file sources or are internallycalculated by Back Office Bridge. The process for configuring a typical position rolloverwithin Back Office Bridge requires the coordination of the login settings, the positioncapture and publish time settings, the timing of the appropriate TT gateway Fill Server, alocal instance of TT Chron, and, if necessary, a local mechanism for placing a back officeposition file into place such that Back Office Bridge can read it. If using a FIX Adapter, theFIX Adapter rollover times should be configured to match the Fill Server rollover times foreach TT Gateway. Please see the FIX Adapter System Administration Manual Version 7.4.2or greater for more details.Back Office Bridge also offers automated functionality to publish updates for the GuardianCurrency Table or for the margin values within the Guardian Product Table from a backoffice file. The process for configuring the settings for either of these scenarios is similar toconfiguring a position movement, but requires less coordination with the TT gateway.Back Office Bridge BasicsWhen launching Back Office Bridge for the first time, the Admin should set up the RiskLogin and Gateway Login, as described in the section “Back Office Bridge File Menu”. Oncethese logins are configured, restart Back Office Bridge. These parameters only need to beconfigured once and will determine the gateways configured for Back Office Bridge goingforward. If additional gateways are added to the TT environment, or the Risk/Admin loginand passwords change, these settings must be revisited. Incorrect passwords here maycause accounts to be locked out.Go to the Gateway List, Product List, and Trader List options under the Edit menu toconfigure Back Office Bridge on a global level to handle specific gateways, products, andtraders. Use these lists to map the different back office codes to the TT world.Add new Tasks by following the steps described in the section “Tasks”. Edit the captureand publish time. For Internal Position and Back Office Position tasks, configure theGateway, Product, and Trader columns to filter the positions that need to be moved. Setthe Back Office Bridge task to an active state by selecting the active checkbox next to theTask Name.Once this is set up, the user is finished. The application automatically saves allconfigurations, so no additional effort is required by the user.Close Back Office Bridge. TT Chron, upon proper coordination with the timing of the FillServer cycling, will ensure that the application is running at the proper time. Theapplication will either capture or publish and then continue to run until TT Chron or the userterminates it again. TT Chron is a separate scheduling service that is available via its owninstallation package.Back Office Bridge TM System Administration Manual 9Trading Technologies International, Inc.
