...
Optimizer version 17 adds validation logic for invalid dates in the position.csv input file TradeDate field. Prior Optimizer versions defaulted transfer output to an un-tradable 1/1/0001 date when an improper TradeDate format was supplied. The TradeDate field is now expected to be in date format: yyyymmdd, mm/dd/yyyy, or m/d/yyyy. Optimizer version 17 produces an error at the portfolio level if the TradeDate field is not in these formats. The new expected error is:
Invalid trade date format detected: '<<invalid format>>'. Expected yyyyMMdd or MM/dd/yyyy or M/d/yyyy
...
- Due to firm feedback on preferred default trade exclusions, Optimizer version 17 incorporates updates the default configurations in the EventExclusions section of the configuration.json file. Please note these configurations are suggestions only and firms can update exclusion configurations to meet their use cases. To better understand exclusion configurations please refer to the User Guide here.

- There are no default additions to the TradeEvents section of the configuration.json file to support new Eris product trade event exclusions, however, users who want to exclude these products for any valid trade event can create a new custom exclusion based on the logic defined in the User Guide here.
- Eris products are cash-settled, hence, no exclusions were deemed necessary by default.
- Removes span.ini and orgmast.xml from the Plugins/Optimizer directory. These file is now supplied in the market data zip file and users will not need to specify their locations.
- Removes the following configurations which were deprecated or made redundant in this or a prior version:
- "ShowTransferOrigin"
- "ShowTotalSavings"
- "MaxNumberOfIterations"
- "SpanIniFilesFolder" (see above note)
- "RiskManagerConfigIsEncoded"
