The Swap Reset Schedule is designed to support automated corporate action processing for Total Return Swaps (TRS), but is also available for other swap types. It is stored in the SCHEDULE table, allowing you to review the full schedule of dates to verify the accuracy of your security master file (SMF) setup. This can be helpful when implementing new swap types.
If a Swap Reset Schedule exists, the dates in the schedule (including any changes) override the dates the fixed income code typically calculates on the fly. When Generate Swap Reset Schedule (2299) is set to Yes, the schedule is regenerated (wiping out any previous modifications) each time SMF data is changed. It can also be triggered ad hoc using Generate Swap Reset Schedule.
If any of the dates are incorrect due to irregular date conventions, they can be modified using the Schedule tools. Refer to Swap Unscheduled/Ad Hoc Resets Processing Notes for details. Once a schedule is amended, the remaining schedule can only be updated manually (all modifications are overwritten when a schedule is regenerated).
The only cases where Swap Reset Schedules are required are:
TRS that are eligible for corporate actions
Swaps with irregular date conventions
We recommend not having a Swap Reset Schedule in all other scenarios. If you need to review the dates to verify the accuracy of your SMF setup, we recommend deleting the schedule afterwards.
