Benchmark Comparison Fields

...

You can set benchmark definitions on the Holding Field Attribute and Entity Field Attribute Maintenance windows, using the Benchmark Definition option.

...

Editing Regular Field Dialog Box Benchmark Definitions

...

Use the Benchmark Definition setting to create a field attribute that retrieves data from the benchmark entity associated with the entity that is selected in the report that contains this field.

  • This setting lists the long descriptions of the code values that exist for the internal code IBMARKDEF.

  • This setting also lists the option Profile Portfolio, which is the default setting.

  • When Profile Portfolio is selected, the field retrieves data from the entity selected in the report profile.

  • When a value other than Profile Portfolio is selected, the field retrieves data from the corresponding benchmark that is associated with the entity selected in the report profile.

  • If a benchmark is selected and the entity in the report does not have a corresponding benchmark, then the field returns a NULL value.

  • Rollup and inference fields, as well as other custom field types, can be defined against fields with the Benchmark Definition setting populated.

  • This setting is also available for advanced holding field attributes.

Allow Benchmark Override

You can override a benchmark when submitting position and entity range reports.

...

If the report is submitted for a composite entity, then consideration needs to be given to which benchmark is retrieved in the report:

  • If the Enumerate Composites setting is not enabled, then the benchmark associated with the selected composite entity is retrieved by the report.

  • If the Enumerate Composites setting is enabled, then the benchmark associated with the underlying entities is retrieved by the report.

Currency Conversion

  • If a field attribute has both a currency process and a benchmark definition defined, then the currency value of the associated benchmark is used for the currency conversion process.

  • As in current currency conversion processing, if the associated benchmark does not have a Base Currency defined, then the value is not converted.

Reports Submitted for Clients

...

As of field attributes are advanced field attributes and require that a process be defined. In the following example, the process is End Date Holding or Entity.

Create Source-Specific Fields

...

To create source-specific security, analytics, ratings or price fields create the field attribute and attach a source.

Source-Specific Holding Fields

You can select a specific source for any holding fields you want to display in a position or lot level position report. When you include source-specific holding fields in a report, the queries run to retrieve data for the report are altered. For reports using regular holding fields, the matrix fetch to retrieve position data uses the source rule you have assigned to the report. For Source-specific fields, the matrix fetch does not use the source rule, but instead uses the sources selected for the source specific fields to retrieve position data. All holding fields must be source specific. However, other field types do not have to be source specific. Therefore, a report can have the field attribute Market Value from Bloomberg and the field attribute Market Value from IDC, but the same report should not have the field attribute Market Value without an assigned source. PACE optimizes the matrix fetch process in the Concentration engine.

Source-specific holding fields can be used in derived fields, such as detailed calculation fields and in grouping rules, as well as in a field rule. Complete the following procedure to create source specific holding fields.

  1. Select the Database (Holding).

  2. Select the appropriate Holding table and the column on which the field attribute is to be based.

  3. For fields used in single period reports, set the Process field to End Date Holding or Entity.

  4. For fields used in multi period reports, assign the appropriate process, either Begin Date Holding or Entity or End Date Holding or Entity.

  5. Set the Field Indicator field to user defined.

Create an Entity Hierarchy

...

You do not have to run the entity build process for the composites on which they choose to report, they simply must include the composites in the report. You must select the option enumerate composites for the entity hierarchy functionality to work in a report.

Level 1: Company Level

Level 2: Branch Level

Level 3: Group Level

Level 4: Portfolio Level

Composite 1: All Composite

Composite 2: US Branch

Set Up the Entity Hierarchy Function

Before using Entity Hierarchy functionality, you must complete the procedure explained in this section. An internal code is added through the installation and upgrade scripts. The code has a short description of ELEVEL and a long description of IENTITY LEVEL. The code instance for this internal code is 10051. First, you must create code values to reference the level number of each composite:

  1. Create code values under the Eagle PACE source. The code values must reflect the appropriate level. The short description is the level number. The long description is a descriptive name.

...

  1. After creating the codes and code values, you create entity hierarchy fields.

...

  1. Return to General Reporting, and select Compose.

  2. Select the report type you want to create.
