The STAR to PACE Delta mode captures backdated activity and position changes and updates the accounting data in Eagle PACE. Your organization's data requirements determine when and how often you run the Delta process. For example, if you require intraday reporting or performance, you can set up the S2P Delta mode to run at user defined intervals. If you do not require intraday reporting or performance measurement, you can set the S2P Delta mode to run once at the end of the day, prior to the end of day STAR to PACE batch run as scheduled.
To transfer accounting data using the S2P Delta mode:
- In Accounting Center, in the left navigation pane, click Processing and Exceptions > Global Processes.
You see the Global Process workspace. - In the left navigation, click STAR to PACE Direct Processing > Transfer Data - Delta.
You see the Transfer Data - Delta panel. - Complete the options on the Transfer Data - Delta panel.
For more information about using the Entity Parameters options, see About Qualifying Entities to Process in Batch or Delta Mode. - Click Submit.
You see the Status window with the status of your request. - Click Print to print the status information. Or, click OK to close the Status window.
You see the Global Processing Results in the bottom pane. The Summary tab shows the event types associated with your request, along with a batch identifier. The Detail tab shows the processing status for each event.
Transfer Data – Delta Panel Options
The following table lists the fields and field descriptions for the Transfer Data – Delta panel.
Option | Description |
|---|---|
Entity Parameters | |
Process Center | Segregates entities into "n" amount of Process Center groups. Doing so allows you to allocate the STAR to PACE workload across multiple STAR engine instances. The STAR to PACE Direct functionality generates the individual request messages for each entity/accounting basis combination at a much faster rate using Process Centers. The global processes incorporate the ability to run by the entity Process Center election. This allows you to schedule STAR to PACE Direct runs by custom defined groups. Note: Eagle strongly recommends that you use either this option or the Conversion Status option. |
Conversion Status | Specifies the conversion status. Global processes incorporate the ability to run by the entity Conversion Status election. This allows you to include/exclude STAR to PACE Direct runs by the status of the entity (if, for example, entities in a specific Conversion Status are not ready for STAR to PACE Direct). Note: Eagle strongly recommends that you use either this option or the Process Center option. Specify a conversion status only as part of the initial data conversion process. Do not use it for normal production processing. |
Partition Number | Specifies the database partition for the position. This value is automatically established by a lookup based on the specific entity. |
Run Options | |
Delta Date Type | Specifies the delta date type. Options include:
|
Date Range - End Date | Specifies the current date for the delta process. The system automatically populates this value. The default is today's date. The system generates result data for the date range between this date and the date on the transaction. Different Process Centers have different current dates. |
Data Filter | Specifies the type of data. Options include:
Note: The value you select for Batch mode must correspond to the value you select when you use the Delta mode, to ensure the necessary data accuracy for reporting and Performance Measurement. If you are not using Eagle's Performance Measurement solution, you do not need cash activity data posted to Eagle PACE, because you can directly use the ESTAR cash activity tables. |
Position Valuation Election | Specifies the price used by S2P. Options include:
|
Control Center Switch | Determines whether to integrate STAR to PACE Direct with the Control Center functionality. Options include:
|
Include Zero Positions (Days) | Determines whether Eagle Accounting includes zero positions in the result set for a specified number of days past the position's last settlement date. This field is automatically populated with a value of "0" and you must only change the option after discussions with your relationship Manager about your processing workflow. The process automatically generates zero positions through the position's last settlement date. This enables Eagle Accounting to transfer positions with accrued income between the trade and the settlement date or equity positions that have a quantity of zero, but have an open dividend or reclaim receivable. Additionally, the current quantity may be zero while the settled quantity is not zero. Note: The value you select for delta mode must correspond to the value you use for the Batch mode to ensure accurate data for reporting and performance. |
Event Type | Displays the event value GEN_STARPACE_DELTA. |
FX Date Switch | Indicates whether the process extracts the FX rate for the given accounting date or the most recent available FX rate. Options include:
|
Price Date Switch | Indicates whether the process extracts the price for the given accounting date or the most recent available price. Options include:
The system uses the following hierarchy for calculating valuations in Eagle PACE:
Note: The value you select for delta mode must correspond to the value you use for the Batch mode to ensure accurate data for reporting and performance. |
SPD Cash Balances Switch | Indicates whether STAR to PACE Direct rolls up cash balances by currency and cash account in the Eagle data warehouse. In the STAR database, the system stores cash balances at the asset and custodian level. Options include:
|
Income Based Cash Switch | Indicates whether to generate an income based cash record. Options include:
Note: The S2P Position Income Receivable Switch determines whether or not the income receivables populate the position records and works independent of the CASH_ACTIVITY records creation. You may populate the CASH_ACTIVITY table by using the income based cash settlement event or the performance computation and still have income receivables values populate from the income entitlement event for positions reporting. |
S2P Position Income Receivable Switch | Indicates whether to store income receivable data on the individual data warehouse position records. Options include:
Note: The value you select for delta mode must correspond to the value you use for the Batch mode to ensure accurate data for reporting and performance. |
Calculate Contractual Settlement | Indicates whether to calculate contractual settlement. STAR to PACE Direct stores contractual settlement values in Eagle PACE. These fields require additional processing, which affects the performance of the STAR to PACE Direct Batch and Delta process. Options include:
|
System Currency | Displays the system currency for calculating enterprise wide performance returns, if specified. For details about setting up a system currency to calculate enterprise wide performance returns, see Add a System Currency to Calculate Performance Returns. Note: If you specified a system currency for Performance Measurement use, the Batch mode process values portfolio holdings, income receivables, and cash activity in the system currency for all portfolios across the entire enterprise. |
