Information on PTS Migration and Upcoming Transition Plans
As part of our ongoing efforts to modernize technologies and enhance client experience, DTCC plans to gradually phase out legacy PTS. DTCC services available in Participant Terminal Services (“PTS”), also known as TN3270 Terminal. Services currently available via PTS can be accessed via the DTCC Mainframe Portal or MyDTCC.
This transition will be executed in phases to facilitate a smooth and gradual shift for firms that currently rely on PTS services.
Client Administrators (Super Access Coordinators / Access Coordinators) should make certain that all user identities accessing PTS are defined in the Customer Registration System (CRS).
The following table outlines the functions and where to access their equivalents.
