Background

The AvailableInventory type is used to model the list of available securities that a lender has available to lend. The SecurityLocate type is used to model where a borrower wants to request a security (or securities) from a lender. Both of these types are standalone.

Proposal

In order to allow implementers to define AvailableInventory and SecurityLocate objects on their own the [rootType] annotation needs to be added to the types.

This also has the added benefit of allowing these types to be represented in the ObjectBuilder.

Compatibility

This should be backwards compatible

Release

CDM V7, but would also be good to add into the current production version CDM V6

Additional Context

The ability to use the Object Builder to assist with visualising and building availability objects has been requested by several firms looking into using the CDM for pre-trade functionality.
