This section describes how to configure and manage dynamic queries in the Eagle Portal that allow you to generate reports in real time.

This section assumes you know how to set up report components. Refer to the Reporting Reference section for additional information.

Eagle Portal query reports are designed to instantly return report data to the Portal user based on the users’ input parameters. Once the Eagle Portal returns the data, you can manipulate the data for analysis by changing grouping, performance calculations, or filtering data.

Since report data must be extracted from the database, formatted by the Eagle Portal and transferred over the network, there are limitations to the amount of data you would want to run an Eagle Portal query for. If you have a large number of rows of data, many enhanced field types, or a slow network, you may consider not setting these reports as query reports. You may want to set them up as reports that are delivered to the Inbox or to the Reports window.

About Report Components

The following report components are used to create queries that generate reports in the Eagle Portal:

  • Report Type. The report type consists of a report name and an object type.

  • Object Type. The object type is a predefined set of parameters from which a report is defined.

  • Field Rule or Rule. The field rule is used by some object types. It defines a set of rules that create specific data fields in a report.

  • Profile. The profile or template is used to define data in a report for object types that do not use a field rule.

You specify a Type (report type or object type) and Rule (field rule, profile, or stored procedure) on the Query Settings dialog box when you create a query report.

The following table displays a list of Type values that you can select. The value you select for the Type field determines the values you can select for the Rule field. The Rule field determines the data that is available for display on the query report.

In this section

Report Type/Object Type

Rule or Profile

Description

ACCESS CASH ACTIVITY

Cash Activity field rule

Enables access to the data in the cash activity, entity, entity characteristics, and security tables.

ACCESS COMPARISON

Position field rule

Compares holdings information between a portfolio and a benchmark. There should be one field for the reference, such as a market value, and another field used for comparing with the reference, such as percent of fund.

ACCESS LOT LEVEL POSITIONS

Lot level positions field rule

Displays lot level positions. After running this query type in Portal, users can dynamically group the query results.

ACCESS PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS

Performance Analysis report profile

Returns performance data for periodic returns, such as 1-day, 3-month, or 5-year return periods. It also returns performance data for attribution and risk statistics.

When this report is executed through a Portal query, it runs an Performance Analysis report and uses only the total node of the performance model. If you do not have performance data loaded, this query type is not available.

Eagle Portal Administrators can configure this report to allow the Eagle Portal users to use benchmark overrides. If a report is configured this way, users can override benchmark order or use another entity for its benchmark when running an Inbox or Query report in the Eagle Portal.

ACCESS PERF QUERY REPORT

Performance Query report profile

Returns performance data for periodic returns or time series returns, such as 3-month rolling returns for the last 5 years, or for a 1-day return period.

To make this report work, a Performance Query report must exist.

Only query report profiles using View 1, 2, or 3 are supported for the Access Perf Query Report type. View 4 is not supported because it shows multiple values at the grouping level.

Dashboard parts support Performance Query Tool View 1 only if it is used with a Total Level Performance model (for example, without a dictionary).

Dashboard parts support Performance Query Tool View 3.

Dashboard parts do not support Performance Query Tool View 2 or Performance Query Tool View 4.

ACCESS CROSS REFERENCE

Position field rule

Displays security exposure. For example, a portfolio manager could use this report to identify which accounts held Microsoft.

This report allows you to look at security holdings across portfolios.

ACCESS POSITIONS

Position field rule

Displays position details in a portfolio.

ACCESS TRADES CROSS REFERENCE

Trade field rule

Displays security transaction history. For example, a portfolio manager could use this report to identify accounts that traded Microsoft between a specified date range.

ACCESS CONCENTRATION REPORT

OLAP report profile

Displays OLAP Report profiles. The Eagle Portal Administrators can configure this report to allow users to use benchmark overrides. If a report is configured this way, then users can override benchmark order or use another entity for its benchmark when running Inbox or Query reports in the Eagle Portal.

ACCESS DATAMART FUND VIEWS

Data Mart Fund Summary

Displays information from Data Mart Fund Summary model in a multiline, time series, or vertical view. The best practice is to build dashboard parts upon this query type, and then include them into a dashboard view.

ACCESS DATAMART

Data Mart Fund Summary, group level, or details models.

Displays information from Data Mart Fund Summary, group level, or details models.

ACCESS DATAMART FUND REPORT

Data Mart Fund Summary

Displays the portfolios you have access to in My Portfolios section of the Eagle Portal Home Page. If using the Eagle Portal, the portfolios you have access to are displayed in the Portfolios window.

ACCESS SQL QUERY

Stored Procedure

This is not a field rule or profile

Allows you to distribute data stored in the Eagle data model or any databases through the Eagle Portal.

ACCESS FUND QUERY

Entity and Client field rule

Allows users to perform a wildcard (*) search for an entity based on entity name, entity type, or entity id in the Eagle Portal.

ACCESS NAV

Net Asset Value report profile

Displays NAV information.

ACCESS ISSUER SELECTOR

Security Field Rule

Determines the fields used for searching issuers. To be used with an ACCESS SQL QUERY.

ACCESS SECURITY SELECTOR

Security Field Rule

Determines the fields used for searching securities.

ACCESS ENTITY SELECTOR

Position Field Rule

Determines the fields used for searching portfolios.

ACCESS POSITION HEADER

Position Field Rule

Displays portfolio based summary information in header area of all query reports.

ACCESS CONTACT REPORT

ACCESS CLIENT REPORT

Not available

This report type is client specific.

ACCESS MICROSTRATEGY

MicroStrategy Report or Document

A MicroStrategy Report is the equivalent of a grid of data, a pie chart, or bar graph, which are referred to as a components or parts in Portal.

A MicroStrategy Document is the MicroStrategy version of a the Eagle Portal Dashboard, and is made up of multiple MicroStrategy Reports.

A MicroStrategy Report or Document cannot be a Dashboard in the Eagle Portal, only a query.

Add a Query Report

Before you begin setting up query reports, consider if all Eagle Portal users can use the same reports, or if they require different reports. You can define the query report assignment via Sys Item 154 - Portal queries entitlement behavior in the System Parameters window as follows:

  1. 0 (default value) - Use highest level behavior.

  2. 1 – Use union behavior.

You can add one or more queries for each report type in the Eagle Portal. Once you add the query report, you need to associate it with a menu so that Eagle Portal users can select it.

To add a query report:

  1. From any Eagle window, click the Eagle Navigator button to access the Eagle Navigator.

  2. Enter Portal Administration in the Start Search text box.

  3. Click the Portal Administration (Reporting Center) link to access Portal Administration.
    You see the Portal Administration window.

  4. Click Yes in the Do you see the Eagle logo here? dialog box.
    You see the Portal Query Explorer window as the default.

  5. Click Add Query.
    You see the Query Settings dialog box. Required fields are displayed in bold.

  6. Complete the options on the Query Settings dialog box.

  7. Click Next.

  8. Click Finish.
    You have added a query report.
    By default, the query report you are creating is assigned to you. You must assign it to others who should have access to it on the Assign Queries dialog box. Best practice for assigning query reports is to assign them at business group levels if your users require different query reports.

Manage ACCESS DATAMART Queries

If your organization has implemented Data Mart, you can build portal queries using Data Mart's summary model, grouped models, or detailed models. To do this, select the ACCESS DATAMART FUND REPORT type when configuring the query in the Portal Query Explorer.

The Data Mart Fund Summary model is used for displaying portfolios your users have access to in the Eagle Portal's Portfolios window. You can use System Item #152, to control the behavior of Current date evaluation on the ACCESS DATAMART FUND REPORT type, where the Data Mart instance used is in the same database instance.

You can set System Item #152 in the System Parameters to:

  • 1. Default value. Set to 1 to enable the Current functionality. The maximum effective date for each portfolio is fetched.

  • 0. Set to 0 to enable the functionality that existed pre-V11.0. The maximum effective date across portfolios is fetched.

If you do not set up ACCESS DATAMART queries, the Eagle Portal will not display any Data Mart related data in the Portfolios window. You will also see a message stating that the ACCESS DATAMART query type must be set up first.

Display an ACCESS DATAMART FUND REPORT Query

To display an ACCESS DATAMART FUND REPORT query:

  1. From any Eagle window, click the Eagle Navigator button to access the Eagle Navigator.

  2. Enter Portal Administration in the Start Search text box.

  3. Click the Portal Administration (Reporting Center) link to access Portal Administration.
    You see the Portal Administration window.

  4. Click Yes in the Do you see the Eagle logo here? dialog box.
    You see the Portal Query Explorer window as the default.

  5. Click Add Query.
    You see the Query Settings dialog box.

  6. In Type, select ACCESS DATAMART FUND REPORT.
    The ACCESS DATA MART FUND REPORT type is based on the Data Mart Fund Summary model. The available fields are determined by the fields in the model.

  7. Select the Data Mart instance you want to use. For this query type, Data Mart Fund Summary model is used.

  8. Define a filter for this query, if needed. The access for query is enabled by default.

  9. In Report Fields, click the ellipsis to select the fields from the Data Mart Fund Summary model that you want to use for this report.
    You see the Report Field Selection dialog box.

  10. Click Add and select any fields. Use the + and - buttons to arrange the order of fields.

  11. Click OK.
    You see the Query Settings dialog box.

  12. Click Next.
    You see Assign Queries dialog box. This query type is assigned to everyone by default. If this query type cannot be used by everyone, you can create another one.

  13. Click Finish.

  14. Go to the User Settings Explorer window. By default, Default User is selected as Current user.
    If this query can be used by everyone in your organization, then set My Portfolios Query to use this ACCESS DATAMART FUND REPORT type you have just configured.

  15. If the same query cannot be used by everyone in your organization, and you have configured multiple queries for this query type, click the Current User link.
    You see the Select User/Group dialog box. The best practice is to configure this at business group level, so each business group has its own ACCESS DATAMART FUND REPORT type query.

  16. Select Portal Login.

  17. In My Portfolios Query, from the drop down menu, select the query report you just added using ACCESS DATAMART FUND REPORT type.
    If the Eagle Portal users cannot use the same query report, click the Current User link and select the user/business group. Then, select the query to use from the drop down menu.

  18. Click Save.

Add an ACCESS DATAMART FUND VIEWS Query

The ACCESS DATAMART FUND VIEWS query type displays summary level data in a Data Mart Fund Summary model. You can use the following view types for viewing Data Mart summary level data:

  • Vertical View. Displays multiple columns of data for one or more entities.

  • Multi-line View. Displays multiple columns of data for one entity. However, instead of displaying all of the columns as one row, each row is designated a position on a certain row.

  • Time Series View. Displays rows of data for one entity. Each row represents a different effective date. If you set View Type to Time Series View, you can add/remove multiple Report Fields in the Datamart Field Selection dialog box.

Best practice is to use this query type for creating dashboard parts, and then including the dashboard parts into a dashboard view for the Eagle Portal users.

To add an ACCESS DATAMART FUND VIEWS query:

  1. From any Eagle window, click the Eagle Navigator button to access the Eagle Navigator.

  2. Enter Portal Administration in the Start Search text box.

  6. Complete the options on the Query Settings dialog box and click Next.

  7. For this example, select Vertical View from the View Type drop down list.
    You see the Query Result Configuration dialog box. Note the Display Dimensions section in the following figure.

  8. In Rows, specify the number of rows you want to display in your query results and click Apply.
    The value for Columns is set to 1 and cannot be modified because the display dimensions for the Vertical View are for a single entity. However, you can run this query report for more than one entity to view display dimensions for multiple entities.
    You see four rows below the Display Dimensions section on the Query Result Configuration dialog box.

  9. Click the ellipsis to the right of the first cell in the first blank row.
    You see the Field Setup dialog box.

  10. In Cell Type, select Title.

  11. In Text Value, enter the text you want to use as the column header in your query results, and click OK.

  12. Click the ellipsis button to the right of the second cell in the first row.
    You see the Field Setup dialog box.

  13. In Cell Type, select Value.

  14. In Field Name, select a field from the drop down list.

  15. Accept the remaining default values and click OK.

  16. Repeat these steps to complete the remaining rows in the Query Result Configuration dialog box.

Add an ACCESS DATAMART Query

The ACCESS DATAMART type can be used for viewing Data Mart’s fund summary, group level or detailed models. It can also be configured so that users can view data in a transposed time series view. Each column of data represents a different effective date of data. Since this view displays a different date for each column, it requires one date rule per column.

To add an ACCESS DATAMART query:

  1. From any Eagle window, click the Eagle Navigator button to access the Eagle Navigator.

  2. Enter Portal Administration in the Start Search text box.

  3. Click the Portal Administration (Reporting Center) link to access Portal Administration.
    You see the Portal Administration window.

  4. Click Yes in the Do you see the Eagle logo here? dialog box.
    You see the Portal Query Explorer window as the default.

  5. Click Add Query.
    You see the Query Settings dialog box.

  6. Complete the options on the Query Settings dialog box and click Next.

  7. Click the ellipsis in Report Fields.
    You see the Report Field Selection dialog box.

  8. Specify a date rule for the fields by clicking the ellipsis in the As Of column.
    The ability to assign specific date rules to individual Data Mart fields allows you to be more efficient in your storage of data in the Data Mart. Data values that are unchanged from past dates, such as Prior Year Return, do not have to be recalculated daily to be shown in Portal next to data fields that require daily recalculation, such as Year to Date Return.
    After clicking the ellipsis, you see the Portal Date Rule Selector dialog box.

  9. Select the date rules and click OK.
    You see report results after running the query in the Eagle Portal.

    ACCESS DATAMART REPORT Results

About the EAGLEMART Packaged Portal Content

EAGLEMART is a Data Mart instance used by Eagle Packaged Reports. This Data Mart acts as a staging area for Eagle provided metadata and Eagle Portal contents.

In Packaged Portal Content, EAGLEMART is used by default as the Data Mart Instance that queries use to access Data Mart tables. While you can build EAGLEMART tables, this is not best practice. You should leave the EAGLEMART schema as read-only so Eagle can add content without overwriting any of your customizations. Best practice is to use another Data Mart schema, such as DATAMARTDBO or another schema your Database Administrator sets up for you.

In pace_masterdbo.portal_reports, you can update the column READ_ONLY with a value of Y. This makes the migrated in queries from EAGLEMART Packaged Portal Contents read only.

To see how a read only query is configured, click View Query in the Portal Query Explorer. You can configure the copied queries to use another Data Mart instance, such as DATAMARTDBO.

Manage the ACCESS SQL QUERY Type

The ACCESS SQL QUERY type allows you to distribute any data stored in the Eagle data model or any other database through the Eagle Portal. The option to specify any SQL query as the data source makes this query unique. Like other queries, you can specify an entity and effective date. The information is passed to the query in the form of parameters that are substituted during run time. You can also use this query type as a part in the dashboard. When entity type List is used in ACCESS SQL QUERY, the Eagle Portal enumerates for the list.

Set Up Column Values

In the Maintain Options/Parameters window, you can select a database table and column so that its value is displayed in the Eagle Portal and also passed to the ACCESS SQL QUERY type queries. You can do this if you do not want to set up or use the codes the Codes window.

Before setting up an ACCESS SQL QUERY type:

  1. From any Eagle window, click the Eagle Navigator button to access the Eagle Navigator.

  2. Enter Options/Parameters in the Start Search text box.

  3. Click the Maintain Options/Parameters (Reporting Center) link.
    You see the Maintain Options/Parameters window.

  4. To access the Add/Edit Option dialog box, click Add or Edit.

  5. In the Type field, select Column Value.

  6. Select the Required check box in the Properties section if you want the Eagle Portal users to always select a code value before they can run a query.

  7. Specify the Database, Table, and Column for the value that is to display in the Eagle Portal and be passed in the query.

    Add Edit Option Dialog Box
  8. If you have already created the stored procedure in the database, go to the Portal Query Explorer to create the query for the ACCESS SQL QUERY type. When creating the query, make sure you select the option you have created.

Set Up Codes

If you want to use a code value’s long description, set up the code in the Maintain Options/Parameters window.

Complete this procedure before setting up an ACCESS SQL query:

  1. From any Eagle window, click the Eagle Navigator button to access the Eagle Navigator.

  2. Enter Options/Parameters in the Start Search text box.

  3. Click the Maintain Options/Parameters (Reporting Center) link.
    You see the Maintain Options/Parameters window.

If the stored procedure name does not match, when you click Execute, an error message be displayed and you will not be able to complete the procedure.

    Application Server Error Dialog Box
  7. To view the error logs, click View Log File.

  8. To configure the ACCESS SQL QUERY type query, execute the stored procedure with test values to determine the columns that it returns.
    Sometimes the stored procedure may require certain values in order to execute properly. As a workaround, you can either add exception handling in your stored procedure, or make it always return the same columns so you will see the results you expect. For example:
    SELECT user_field12
    INTO v_entity_id
    FROM rulesdbo.entity
    WHERE entity_id = iEntityId;
    exception
    when no_data_found then
    v_entity_id:=' ';
    end;

  9. You can input the test parameters in the Stored Procedure Parameters dialog box when creating this query type. This allows you to change the test values the stored procedure requires for returning data.

  10. Click Next.
    You see Stored Procedure Parameters dialog box. In the following example, the values available in the Option column are determined by what you have defined in the Options/Parameters window These values should already be defined before you begin setting up the ACCESS SQL QUERY report.

    Stored Procedure Parameters Dialog Box
  11. Click Next.
    You see the Stored Procedure Columns dialog box.
    The Analysis and Charting check boxes are enabled by default so you can use this query for analysis and charting.
    The number of columns configured here is the same as the number of columns that display in Portal after the user runs the query. In this example, there are four columns: effective date, primary index YTM, secondary index YTM, and security YTM. After the user runs this query in Portal, the record will always return these four columns.

  12. Double click each row in the Stored Procedure Columns dialog box.
    When you double click a row, you see the Column Configuration dialog box for that column.

  13. Complete the fields in the Column Configuration dialog box.
    Description: The description you enter is the description that the user sees in Portal.
    XML Tag: Enter a unique XML tag. The value you enter must be unique.
    Type: The type Character is displayed by d

  14. Click OK to close the Column Configuration dialog box.

  15. Repeat steps 7 and 8 for each row.

  16. Click Finish.

Manage the ACCESS MICROSTRATEGY REPORT Query

You can use the ACCESS MICROSTRATEGY REPORT query type to run a report or document created in MicroStrategy Web. The ACCESS MICROSTRATEGY REPORT type is unique because MicroStrategy documents support interactivity. However, you cannot change and save a MicroStrategy query in the Eagle Portal.

The information for the MicroStrategy query is stored as meta data in its own database. When you run the MicroStrategy query, a call is made to the MicroStrategy server to process the data and then it is passed back to the application server. Data criteria are used in the same way as an ACCESS SQL QUERY, where the data inputs are options and parameters.

Before adding a query, make sure you have created options and parameters to match the prompts you have created in your MicroStrategy reports.

MicroStrategy reports typically require one or more inputs that you can set up in the Maintain Options/Parameters window. After these values are set up, you can add these values to the query via the Portal Query Explorer.

If you do not enter a value for the Maximum Rows field, the number of rows returned defaults to the value set for the Default Query Row Limit in the Global Settings Explorer.

You can also limit the number of rows returned for a query report using the Global Settings Explorer window.

This feature does not apply to the following query types: ACCESS PERF QUERY REPORT, ACCESS CONCENTRATION REPORT, and ACCESS PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS.
