We're changing our technical infrastructure and switching our enterprise DNS provider to ClouDNS.

When does the change happen?

On Saturday, 13.07.2019 during the day. The exact time depends both on our domain name registrar (Telekom Deutschland GmbH) and the domain name registry (VeriSign, Inc.).

Are failures, disturbances or impairments to be expected?

We have taken precautions and do not expect any disturbances that could last more than 2 minutes.

About ClouDNS:

The company implements the industry's leading cloud service architecture for maximum DNS speed and DNS redundancy. ClouDNS platform monitors, controls and optimizes applications and DNS infrastructure, ensuring traffic gets delivered faster, safer, and more reliably than ever.
Founded in 2010, ClouDNS services have grown to manage hundreds of thousands of customer domains receiving more than 2 billion queries per day. ClouDNS is the preferred DNS hosting choice for many brands, especially companies who closely monitor the price-performance ratio. With 24 Anycast locations all over the globe, no other enterprise DNS provider can compete with ClouDNS in price, performance, and overall return on investment.

The data for cost transparency is divided into two categories / query profiles: The fields with master data character (only the current value respectively; low adjustment frequency) in the query profile MiFID II - Cost transparency and date-related data with a complete history in query profile Ongoing indicators (J).

In order to simplify the cost data queries, the detail display for query profile MiFID II - Cost transparency was enhanced with data from Ongoing indicators (J) in coordination with WM Datenservice.

Now the most recent valid value is displayed for the following data fields:

• JV001 Entry costs (prod. with fair value)
• JV002 Exit costs (prod. with fair value)
• JV003 Running incremental costs per calendar year (prod. with fair value)
• JV005 Periodical total fund costs

In order to query the complete history for the mentioned fields, please continue to use the query profile (J) Ongoing indicators.

The search function in the query profile (J) Ongoing indicators has been optimized for JV005. JV005 contains the periodical total fund costs. Unlike the other JV fields, which are usually published every trading day for securitised derivatives / structured products, there are far fewer data available for investment funds - often only once per financial year, sometimes even once per calendar month, very rarely more frequently.

Since the search criteria 'period' is limited to 31 days, finding data for investment funds has not been so easy, although the JV005 period (date from - date to / JV005A - JV005B) just needed to be "touched" or had to be included, as the following search examples explain.

Example JV005 - Periodical total fund costs

The following examples show three time period selections with different criteria that would result in displaying this JV005 record.

a) Search criteria includes the period date-from (01.09.2017):

Search criterion Period: 15.08.2017 to 15.09.2017

or

b) Search is within the period (01.09.2017-31.08.2018):

Search criterion Period: 10.03.2018 to 10.04.2018

or

c) Search criteria includes the period date-to (31.08.2018):

Search criterion Period: 30.08.2018 to 30.09.2018

New: In coordination with WM Datenservice as the licensor of the data, we have now carried out an optimization to simplify the data selection of JV005 in the future and at the same time to display even more records from JV005 for investment funds.
This was achieved by taking into account only the years from the search criterion for JV005. The following overview should clarify this.

In the wmGuide hit list tooltips are displayed from now on. Among other things, long names are displayed as a tooltip for the various abbreviations of the WM fields.

The field descriptions now also contain cross-references to the listed tables. Clicking on the underlined table name leads to the table view.

On June 24, 2019 the 89. WM Release will become effective. We would like to inform you about some upcoming alterations beforehand and corresponding impacts in WMACCESS.
