Postprocessing of Credit Exposure Runs 

Use

In the credit exposure run, it may be the case that the input data that was taken from the Source Data Layer (SDL) and used in the calculation process was incorrect. If so, you need to correct the data in the SDL and recalculate the transaction in question. You can use the postprocessing function to do this without having to start the entire run again. The system deletes the results data stored in the Results Data Layer (RDL) or Result Database (RDB) and replaces it with the new results data.

You can also include additional transactions for a run that was already completed. This enables you to add the data for important transactions not included in those selected in the original run to the results already stored in the RDB or RDL.

Note that there is a difference between postprocessing a run and restarting a run. You can use the postprocessing function to correct a complete run by changing just a subset of the data or transactions. If you restart the run, the system continues calculating a (mass) run that terminated due to technical reasons.

Prerequisites

To be able to postprocess a run, it must have the status Run Completed Successfully (End). Runs that are completed (Cmtd) or that are flagged for deletion (Del.) cannot be postprocessed.

Activities

...

       1.      On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Bank Analyzer ® Processes and Method ® Credit Risk ® Credit Exposure ® Postprocess Credit Exposure Run.

       2.      In the Selection Criteria for Run data group enter the following data:

                            a.      By entering the relevant combination of external run ID, key date, run category, and run version, you define which run you want to postprocess.

                            b.      Specify the time stamp for the start of the time period for which data is to be selected for postprocessing. If you choose Run Admin the system uses the timestamp of the last change made the run specified above.

                            c.      If required, change the timestamp of the access to the data in the Source Data Layer (SDL) and Results Data Layer (RDL). The default values are today’s date and the current system time.

                            d.      If required, set the Delta Selection indicator. The delta selection function selects from the SDL only those transactions that were changed between the start time stamp and the SDL time stamp in the SDL. Note that the results stored for data that has been deleted in the meantime are not changed.

If you have not set the indicator, the postprocessing function selects the data for the start time point from the Source Data Layer (SDL), and sets the corresponding results in the Results Data Layer (RDL) to invalid or deletes them in the Result Database (RDB). The data is selected again for the SDL time stamp, and calculated. The new results are stored in the RDL or RDB. This includes any deleted objects.

For more information, see the document Key Date Query and Delta Query.

       3.      In the Settings for Data Selection data group, enter the InfoSet. The InfoSet defines which data is to be selected, and hence enables you to override the Customizing settings for the selection group ID stored in the run type. Once you have selected an InfoSet, choose Enter. You can then choose the Selection Characteristics pushbutton to enter additional selection criteria for the InfoSet specified.

       4.      Choose  Execute to start the postprocessing run.

The system stores the changed data in the RDL or RDB. The run then has the status Run in Postprocessing (InPP). You can display the result in the overview of credit exposure runs.

You can also start postprocessing directly from the overview of credit exposure runs.
