Some little programs or scriptlets that may come handy in a Murex implementation or migration project, or are a redemption for inconveniences as the functionality does exist in Murex.
I have developed quite a number of this sort of helpers during my regular work in Murex projects, but these belong to the respective customer, of course. Others came up as ideas or prototypes, but alas, so far no client was willing to sponsor their full implementation:

• PrinterV3 MxML task extension to talk to OpenOffice/LibreOffice (running on the server side) instead of MS Word (running on a client) for printing or PDF generation
  (in the mean time, also available from Murex in recent PrinterV3 task)
• Headers and footers, page numbers, cover and following pages for MxML templates
• Automatic conversion of the dealing sheet decision tree and its ticket printing to a post-trade workflow (scoped to Mx.3 migration)
• Automatic optimizer for xTBLFIELD() parser function calls in dynamic creations
• Automatic conversion of Mreport data dictionaries to dynamic creations (scoped to Datamart migration)
• ... or maybe even a report layout converter, based upon the latest Mreport XML export feature?
• Automatic parallelization framework to utilize parallel data mart feeders (semi-automatic or using the deal scanner engine) with your Mreport reports
• Browsable cross-reference of data dictionary formulae
• Drop-in database access optimizer (gives > 6x speedup on Murex database access) for simulations and dynamic creations
• Access stored simulation views transparently derived from the LiveBook (i.e. integration of LiveBook into normal simulation views)
• Prepackaged performance tuning kit for MxML Exchange
• Mass test trade management and import facility using e-tradepad's simplified dealings MxML for deal insertion via Distribution API(implemented and works like a charm)
• Volume import tool with position aggregation features
• Transparent database layer manipulation tool to pretend individual session-specific configuration settings(implemented and stable in use at a client)

Maybe you are in need for exactly one of those? Or you have any other specific requirements or ideas for Murex code sniplets or extensions?
Please mail me so we can discuss it, and maybe we can raise something!
