MCX, the largest commodity derivatives exchange, has identified the root cause for the technical glitch and delayed start of trading early this week.
The primary root cause has been identified as a predefined parameter limit relating to reference data like Unique Client Code (UCC) configured within the systems, said the company exchange in a statement on Friday.
“This led to constraints beyond the threshold. We have taken steps to address the constraints to prevent similar issues in the future,” it added.
Exchange systems are well positioned to support market volumes and growth, it added.
“We remain committed to strengthening our operational robustness and will continue investing in cutting-edge technology to enhance performance, reliability and scalability, ensuring that we meet the evolving needs of our members, participants and stakeholders,” said MCX.
Last Tuesday, trading on MCX was delayed by more than 4.30 hours due to a technical glitch.
Trading was supposed to commence at 9 am but started only at 1.25 pm from the disaster recovery centre, said the exchange.
