External Systems


Citrix Web Server

Writing Manuals covering a product when you do not have the full picture is rather difficult

From the Nymex Access point of view Customer Services create new users on the Citrix Web Server via some scripts provided for them by the Citrix Managers


Citrix Web Client

This is rather like a browser plug in.
When the trader goes to the url Nymex Access Trading Systemt
if the plug in is not present on his local computer it is presented as a download and install

This plugin appears in the System Tray on the bottom right hand side of the computer.
It is this application that in effect, captures and paints the Client screen over the internet


Price Reporting System

This is how prices from the exchange are distributed to vendors around the world.
It is core to Nymex business to sell this information.
At present it would appear we concentrate a little too much on the trading part of the system
Of course, if you have a poor trading system no body uses it and as such you have no market prices anyway
From the point of view of the Nymex Trading System, PRS is an application that we connect into and provide that system with our prices in the approved market format

The standards and requirements in this area are likely to change as the world becomes more web aware.
