The gold copy security record is released to the SECURITY database in the Eagle data warehouse. To process transactions more quickly, some fields may be released prior to the resolution of all validation errors. This is known as a partial release. They can also be released as a set within a field group.
The release level determines whether the gold copy security record is eligible for use by downstream systems. The release status for the overall security is set to the lowest release level where all fields associated with that release level have been released. For example, suppose the status of the security is Released for Trading because all Level 1 fields have passed. This means, all Level 1 fields are released to the Eagle data warehouse. Suppose some Level 2 and all of the Level 3 fields have also passed. Those Level 2 and Level 3 fields are also released to the Eagle data warehouse, however, the status of the security will still be Released for Trading. Only when all of the Level 3 fields have passed will the Release Level field change to Released with No Exceptions.
