DTCC provides messaging specifications for the standard ISO 20022 message and when applicable, its proprietary Extension component. The specification zip files contain the following folders, when applicable:
Message Usage Guidelines in Excel format.These documents present the logical layout of the message XML schema. There are separate documents for each XML schema -- one for ISO ‘core’ standard message, and one for supplementary data (extension) that embeds in the standard message. The document shows the elements that will be used in the message; elements that will not be used are marked as “removed”. The document also contains DTCC market practice usage for each element e.g. DTCC definitions, annotations, rules, as well as DTCC synonyms that are the DTCC names of the elements used in browser and Data Dictionary.
Message Usage Guidelines in .pdf format. Similar to the Excel document, the PDF version provides an alternative format showing the message structure, message building blocks, message components, message data types and restrictions summarization.
