You see the Data Mart Model Submission dialog box.Complete the fields on the Data Mart Model Submission dialog box.
To learn about the fields in Data Mart Model Submission, refer to Select Options in Data Mart Model Submission dialog.Click OK to submit the models.
The system verifies the submission options are valid and prompts you to modify any invalid options. When the submission process is complete, the system displays a confirmation message.

When you select this option, a list of Data Mart schedules becomes available in the dropdown list.

Fields filled in include:
|
As of | |
Snapshot | Allows you to choose a snapshot to use when building your data. See Create Multiple Snapshots of Your Data for details. |

|
Date Rules | |
Ad hoc | Specifies a date rule which contains begin and end dates, the PACE Concentration Engines used to calculate values. These are relative dates, such as month end, that depend on the dates selected in the As Of section. See About Date Rules for additional information. |
From Schedules | Allows you to use the same date rule in your ad hoc submit as you use in a particular Data Mart schedule, for consistency. For example, if you select a schedule from this dropdown list, Data Mart uses its date rule in your ad hoc submit. |
Specific to Data Types | Allows you to create a date rule for a specific data type, such as holdings, performance, cash flows, transactions, and ledger data. |
Holdings | If you enter a date rule here, the end date defined by the rule defines the effective date of holdings data selected by the underlying OLAP process. See About Date Rules or additional information. |
Performance | If you enter a date rule here, the end date defined by the rule defines the effective date of performance data selected by the underlying OLAP process. See  for additional information. |
Cash Flows | If you enter a date rule here, begin and end date defined by the rule define the range of effective dates of cash activity data selected by the underlying OLAP process. See About Date Rules for additional information. |
Transactions | If you enter a date rule here, begin and end date defined by the rule define the range of effective dates of transaction data selected by the underlying OLAP process. See About Date Rules for additional information. |
Ledger | If you enter a date rule here, begin and end date defined by the rule define the range of effective dates of ledger data selected by the underlying OLAP process. See About Date Rules for additional information. |

Models | |
Submit All Models | Specifies all models for submission at one time. |
Select Models to Submit | Allows you to select a subset of models and limit the data populated in the Data Mart. Click Add to display the Data Mart Model Selection dialog box. Enable the check box of each model that you want to submit and click OK. If you configured a model that maps details to a group model through the Filters tab, the details are not calculated when the group model is submitted. You must submit each detail model that you want to populate in this or another submission. When you submit a detail model, the Security Details and Issuer Details models are automatically selected for submission by default. This is because security and issuer information is usually a necessary supplement to Position, Performance, and other detail data. However, you may use the Remove link to remove Security Details and Issuer Details for submission. This may be an appropriate and time-saving step, especially if you are rebuilding detail data for just a few entities using Process Manager. However, you can use the Remove link to avoid submitting Security and Issuer Details. Avoiding those submits speeds up the rest of the build and can be appropriate in some circumstances. However, exercise caution when you do this. If you have added positions or trades in any new securities since last building Security Details, and you build Position Details or Trade Details, you will be missing the necessary companion security data for the positions or trades. |
