0 Considerations on T2S Migration: Special contingency cases during migration T2S Programme Office European Central Bank T2S Advisory Group - 19 November 2013 ECB-PUBLIC Item /2013/018417

1 Special contingency cases during migration Background  During the last months, the MSG worked on identification of major contingency scenarios applicable to the migration weekend  While for certain scenarios the way forward is clearly identified, some other issues were more difficult to apprehend:  Case 1: One CSD can not migrate as originally planned  Possible options to address this issue:  Move affected CSD to the contingency migration wave  Postpone complete migration wave  Case 2: Entire migration wave cannot migrate as originally planned  Possible options to address this issue:  Move the entire wave to the contingency wave  Postpone to a later migration date

2 Special contingency cases during migration Issue – One CSD can not migrate as originally planned Case 1:  How should we manage the issue of one CSD not being able to migrate as originally planned and leaving the migration wave?  Current plan to address this issue:  Exclude affected CSD and postpone its migration to the contingency wave  Remaining CSDs/CBs are to continue their migration

3 Special contingency cases during migration Points for consideration - One CSD can not migrate  Current plan aims at minimising the impact on remaining CSDs/CBs and their communities:  They have spent a lot of effort in adapting & testing, made important investment and are ready to migrate as scheduled  Their business case could be dependent on timely implementation of migration  But have all implications been measured?  Current plan implies an untested migration wave composition and a new adaptation model to be defined and implemented:  Contingency configuration can not be prepared and tested in advance due to significant number of wave composition variations  Additional activities are needed in order to address this contingency scenario:  Revision of cross-CSD link configuration in T2S  Resurrection of legacy links and back office systems Changing composition of migration wave and continuing migration for remaining CSDs/CBs

6 Special contingency cases during migration Issue – Entire migration wave can not migrate as originally planned Case 2:  How should we manage the issue of an entire migration wave not being able to migrate as originally planned, requiring the postponement of the complete migration wave?  Option A – Reschedule entire wave to contingency wave  Solution implies a change of migration order with no impact on the timing of subsequent waves  Option B – Postpone affected wave to a later migration date  Solution implies a timing impact on subsequent waves but no change of migration order

7 Special contingency cases during migration Points for consideration - Entire migration wave can not migrate  Option A – Rescheduling to contingency wave:  Overall migration planning remains stable, i.e. communicated migration dates of subsequent waves are still valid  Configuration of remaining waves will need to be revised and legacy systems/procedures will need to be resurrected (  similar to scenario of rescheduling the migration of single CSD to contingency wave)  Option B – Postponing affected and subsequent migration waves:  Efforts in user testing and migration preparation are secured, as re-testing is limited to issue resolution  Identifying and planning of alternate migration dates is challenging, as time needed to resolve issue causing the postponement is unknown in advance Pros and cons of both options
