100th WM Release / Suspension of intraday Master data and Corporate Actions
On October 23, 2023 the 102. WM Release will become effective. We would like to inform you about some upcoming alterations beforehand and corresponding impacts in WMACCESS.
WM Datenservice will introduce a new data product simultaneously with the 102nd WM Release.
The WM product is called ABZ / Withholding Tax and contains data fields for the extended electronic reporting obligations of those obliged to deduct capital gains tax.
CPB Software (Germany) GmbH will license the new ABZ / Withholding Tax product from WM Datenservice for WMACCESS via the internet.
Currently, it is planned that the new data fields from areas (E) Income Data and (G) Master Data
will be integrated into the respective wmView query profiles.
For further information on the new WM product, please refer to the WM customer or special information provided below.
The WM fields marked with * are also provided in the query profile MiFID II - Reference Data.
The WM fields marked with * are also provided in the query profile Master Data (G).
On October 23, 2023 the following data fields will be frozen:
The mentioned fields will remain included in the respective detail display, in grayed out form.

We are pleased to announce our ongoing support for the open source community. This year, our focus has been on modern command line tools that are essential for productivity, automation and smooth operations.
Visit our GitHub page to learn more about our open source initiatives. The specific information about our campaign this year can be found at Open-Source-Support-2023.
Finally, we would once again like to express our sincere gratitude to the entire open source community.
In the past, search queries in wmView or wmProfile with incomplete or incorrect search criteria could lead to enormously large hit lists that were difficult to manage with several million hits.
Therefore, we have introduced a new function that offers an optimal balance between extensive information search and efficient user experience. From now on, a notification will be displayed for searches that generate more than 5 million hits:
This notification informs you that the search has produced a huge number of results and suggests refining the search criteria to get a manageable number of results. This avoids the charging of the hit list fee.
In this context, we have also optimised and upgraded the previous feedback system for information, warnings and error messages in wmView by using sweetalert2.
On June 26, 2023 the 101. WM Release will become effective. We would like to inform you about some upcoming alterations beforehand and corresponding impacts in WMACCESS.
No data fields will be added with this WM Release.
No data fields will be frozen with this WM Release.

Thanks to the ability to search in five query profiles simultaneously, the Corporate Actions query profile is one of the most used profiles in WMACCESS Internet.
Last year we had already introduced the new search functionality Exclusion of cancelled events and carried out an expansion of the search criteria, integrating numerous additional WM date fields in the process.
Now, there is another new functionality that allows users to select events without dates. This is made possible by the checkbox Include events without date in the search mask and is activated by default. To search for corporate actions without dates, another search criterion such as an ISIN, WKN or position group is required in addition to the period specification.
If this search function is activated, corporate actions that do not (yet) contain any date information are also taken into account and displayed in the hit list. Events, such as conversion data for insolvency proceedings or information on class actions, which usually do not contain dates, can also be viewed in the Corporate Actions query profile thanks to this new functionality.
Search mask for the profile Corporate Actions Including events without date.
The printout of more extensive wmView detail displays is now more compact and no longer contains unnecessary page breaks. This optimisation obviously also includes the common print option "Save as PDF" in modern browsers.
In our News from 28.02.2023, we informed about the suspension of the intraday master and corporate actions deliveries within the scope of the "uGAT" product discontinuation as of 07.04.2023.
Until then, the uGAT product will deliver all new financial instruments added to the database, each working day according to the WM update times, with a restricted static data profile and corporate actions with various restrictions, such as, no interest payments in the income data.
In recent weeks, we have evaluated an alternative solution from WM Datenservice,
which is basically the same intraday GAT set-up as was planned for EDDy_neu under the
then go-live date of Easter 2023:
The previous uGAT restrictions will no longer apply, because GAT, with all information
available at that time, will then be provided to us five times intraday by WM Datenservice
from the "EDDy-Prod" system.
From 11 April 2023 onwards, securities master data / issuer data and corporate actions
(including existing data) will be updated five times during the day between 07:00 AM and 08:30 PM.
However, this intraday update or provision does not apply to all master data and corporate actions fields.
Some WM fields are not provided in the GAT,
but in the WM products
IFK,
MIR,
MIR2,
PRI,
EBV,
IST,
AIF, or
A+R 1
once in the evening by WM Datenservice and updated in WMACCESS.
The WMACCESS field history will continue to be supplied only in the late evening from the evening delivery of the master data and corporate actions.
On April 11, 2023 the 100. WM Release will become effective. We would like to inform you about some upcoming alterations beforehand and corresponding impacts in WMACCESS.
No data fields will be added with this WM Release.
No data fields will be frozen with this WM Release.
As already stated on our EDDy_neu project page page, the product "uGAT" was to be discontinued at the same time as the EDDy_neu go-live date on 07.04.2023 and replaced at the same time by an upgraded, fully comprehensive GAT (master data and corporate actions) product provided five times per day.
On 02.02.2023 WM Datenservice announced that the go-live date of EDDy_neu will be postponed. Further information on the
rescheduling of the project schedule is expected to be published at the beginning of Q2/2023.
On 16 February 2023 WM Datenservice informed us that despite the postponement of the go-live of EDDy_neu, the product "uGAT" will be
discontinued as of 07.04.2023.
We are currently in contact with WM Datenservice to evaluate possible alternatives or to achieve a continuation of the uGAT product.
