Users can continue to use the "Track Status" option to track the status of their cases. Status history can be obtained for up to 3 months by requesting a specific date range. Users will no longer be able to use the "DTCDownloadServlet" to obtain a history of case statuses.

DT2 now automatically enforces the prohibition against submitting files larger than 35 MB. If files exceed the limit, users will receive a message advising them that their case has been rejected. Once a case has been submitted, users will receive an updated receipt message confirming that their case has been submitted and reminding them to use the DTrade "Track Status" option 24 hours after submission to make sure the case was validated and properly received internally by DDTC.
