Set Up Trade Recon for DTCC

Specify Match Keys

You must specify the match keys for a confirm and affirm to match for further reconciliation. Unmatched records, that is, records which do not agree on key fields, remain in the work tables for potential match to new trades.

To establish the match keys that match trade records:

1. From the Trade Recon console, click Matching Rule.
   You see the Matching Rule Property dialog box.
2. Click the Keys tab, if not already selected.
3. Select fields to use for Trade keys and Confirm keys.
4. Click OK to save the changes for your session. Or, click Save to Rule File to update the match rule in the dtc_match message stream.

Specify Matching Logic

You must specify the matching logic to apply to matched records to complete the determination of an appropriately matched confirm and affirm.

To establish the match expressions to evaluate matching trade records:

1. From the Trade Recon console, click Matching Rule.
   You see the Matching Rule Property dialog box.
2. Click the Match Expression tab, if not already selected.
   You see the Match Expression dialog box.
3. Construct the field expressions to complete the determination of a successfully matched trade using the mathematical tool set provided. You can use mathematical expressions and functions such as IIF, TRIM, and FIND.
4. Click OK to save the changes for your session. Or, click Save to Rule File to update the match rule in the dtc_match message stream.
