Onboarding

Client onboarding is testing conducted to ensure the compatibility of the trading and post-trade infrastructures with transaction participants via financial industry protocols. Client onboarding is a mandatory compliance procedure for any exchange operator/broker platform and key to performing successful financial transactions. Client onboarding involves representatives of different organizations. Therefore, the process requires a substantial amount of coordination and teamwork. Shsha is Exactpro’s proprietary passive monitoring tool that will help you streamline your onboarding processes.

  • Shsha captures all messages sent to the exchange by the client and vice versa, parses each message and stores it in a convenient way.
  • By using queries, the certifying organization's analyst can receive the statistics about the attempts to perform the steps in the test scenario and their success for every trading participant.
  • Network packets data also allows finding additional problems, such as connectivity breaks or message buffering issues.

As a passive monitoring tool, Shsha does not affect the system under test or create additional message streams. The trading participants can simply connect to the test environment and send the orders listed in the provided test scenario. There's no need to install any additional software or collect logs. Shsha provides built-in groups of SQL scenarios covering all the client connectivity certification requirements issued by the trading coordinator for a number of exchange platforms.
