Adding Identifiers to the Server
Today I put the finishing touches on the addition of Sedol, ISIN, and CUSIP identifiers to the server. While this isn't rocket science, it's nice that they were added so easily. All I needed to do was to pull it out from the instrument master database a little bit of code made it variables and sent it to the clients.
The Hong Kong users wanted one, but I knew that the coverage of these identifiers is not 100% on any one identifier set, so it was nice that all three were available in the instrument master. I've worked hard to make sure that I can phase things in without having to make a "big switch" where multiple systems are changing on the same day - today I put the changes in the server, tomorrow I can roll-out the changes to the middle-tier and clients. Nice.
