Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) is using different software for its trading purpose. If we name some its

name-TESA, MSA, MSA+, ADA SOFT, BLUECHIP come in front.DSE is maintain an automated

trading system at this moment. The software maintenance services began from November 1, 2004

though DSE installed the automated trading system in the second half of 1998.

The system software is HP Proprietary Non-Stop KERNEL and includes the database as part of the

operating system thereby eliminating the layer typically found in most Database Management

Systems (DBMS). The Database functionalities are handled by NONSTOP SQL, which is simply a

different operational session for the operating system. The proprietary nature of the system software

arguably enhances system security.

DSE is running its online trading using TESA application under Tandem HW, supplied and

supported by Cambridge Solutions Ltd, India. The application, which runs in DSE for trading, is

called TESA (The Electronic Securities Architecture). TESA has two parts:

o MSA (Member's Server Application)- MSA is the gateway between the traders and the StockExchange, which manages all the transactions and database operations between the traders and

the Trading Engine

o TWS (Trader workstation)- TWS is the Front-end Application closer to investors, where theycan submit Buy/Sell orders for their desired securities

TESA (The Electronics Securities Architecture) is the Trading software (Based on HP proprietary

O/S & DBMS). It has developed in view of Distributed Database system. In the client site it is being

using SQL as local Database.

TESA Architecture:TESA software is built for the global securities markets. It uses fault tolerant computers,

intelligent workstations and client / server design techniques. This provides co-operative

processing, high message integrity, continuous operation and fully automatic recovery.

TESA's Application Programmatic Interface (API) is the gateway to the TESA system from

the outside world. All external devices connect through the API. The API provides the

translation between external devices and internal processes. This means that a new process

does not need to be written to support each new device, only the API needs to be modified.
