Participants connect to SMART/Track for Stock Loan Recalls directly or through a vendor.  Once connected, participants transmit ISO 15022 messages for stock loan recalls to SMART/Track via MQSeries or DTC’s standard file transfer capabilities – Connect:Direct (formerly Network Data Mover or NDM) and File Transfer Protocol (FTP).  Once received, SMART/Track verifies certain data to ensure that it can successfully deliver the recall message.  It does not edit the recall data contained in the message. 

SMART/Track provides acknowledgments/receipts for messages transmitted.  SMART/Track creates an acknowledgment/receipt record for each message processed to notify the sender that it has received the message and that it has made the recall message available to the receiver.  SMART/Track also creates a receipt record for the sender when the counterparty has retrieved the stock loan recall message.  Each stock loan recall message is assigned an internal control number for audit trail purposes so that the delivery of the information can be traced if necessary.  If SMART/Track cannot deliver the stock loan recall message, it will reject the message back to the sender for resolution. 

SMART/Track creates a participant eligibility file every evening.  Participants can retrieve this file so that they know which firms are eligible for the service.  SMART/Track rejects recall notices to counterparties that do not subscribe to SMART/Track for Stock Loan Recalls.   

Transmitting Recalls directly to SMART/Track
Participants that want to send stock loan recall messages directly to SMART/Track must establish connectivity to DTC if they do not already connect for other products and services.  Connectivity is established through DTCC’s Participant Interface Planning group

Transmitting Recalls through a Vendor
Participants using a vendor must provide DTC with a third-party authorization letter that identifies the vendor so that DTC can set the participant up in SMART/Track with the appropriate vendor relationship.
