This section describes how to perform an entity build at a high level. 

To perform an Entity Build:

  • Enable the Entity Build Engine on the PACE Server by accessing the PACE Manager (Choose the Configure button and access the General Tab).
  • Choose the Build Type of Entity within the Import/Export Feed button in the Administrator during the setup of the Uploader schema.
    This is chosen for POSITION uploads. This will indicate to the system that the existing composite, aggregate, and sub-portfolio entities should be updated with the new positions data, if applicable.
  • Create Entity Build type field attributes.
    These fields are populated when the composite entity is built. These are located in the HOLDING database in the POSITION_DETAIL table. For sub-portfolios that build cash, you also need to create Entity Build field attributes. These are located in the CASH database in the CASH-ACTIVITY table. 
    • This process involves defining Entity Build fields. Entity Build fields must be built for each field that may be used in a report.
    WRITERS NOTE: confirm If step 1 is still relevant and where it moved in GUI. Is this just about uploads?
    Is step 2 above obsolete? Do we still use uploaders? Where in the GUI? 

    Are step 3 and 4 part of the same step? 

    Do we add step 5 called Run the Entity Build Process, as described in the next section? 

    This doesn't mention the setup tasks such as Entity Build Flag or the Entity Build Mode of Process system parameter. Is this supposed to be generic, or was it written at a time when only composites were relevant? 

    Run the Entity Build Process

    . After you configure the system for entity builds, there are several ways in which you can run the entity build process. 

    There are a number of ways to kick off the Entity build process. The following table describes these methods.

    You can manually execute the entity build in Performance Center or Portfolio Data Center by selecting an entity and clicking the Submit Build option.
