Understand the Audit Log Process

A function in Performance logs the values from the time-series dynamic calculation process to PACE tables. This feature optionally enables the daily time-series steps of a dynamic return calculation to be written to new PACE tables. This function includes only the ability to write records to the database. PACE OLAP reports, Query Tool, and the Portal do not support reporting of the data in these tables, but you can use Advanced Reporting against these tables. Out of the box reporting against this data is addressed in a later version of the product.

This function virtually takes every step of the dynamic calculation process and stores it in PACE, where it is available to Advanced Reporting. See Table Descriptions for detailed information.

There is some configuration necessary to make use of this function.

You can enable audit logging using the dynamic mutual fund fields in a Performance Analysis report. When you submit the Performance Analysis report, PACE recognizes the dynamic fields with audit logging enabled, and writes the time-series data to the related tables during processing.

The audit logging function encompasses several architectural items:

Audit tables in the PERFORM database that warehouse the data
Dynamic mutual fund return fields
Mutual fund type field attributes
