Portfolio Scheduled Exports
|
ABSNet's Portfolio functionality has been significantly enhanced with the introduction of the Scheduled Export Web Service. A "web service" takes advantage of the flexibility the World Wide Web and XML have to offer, and allows easier application to application communication. Users can now easily tap into the entire ABSNet performance database to feed all surveillance and analytical systems needs, and automate the entire process through this service. The Portfolio Scheduled Export functionality will be available to ABSNet users that wish to upgrade from their existing service.
This new functionality enables users to automate the receipt of full performance history for all authorized deals on a daily basis, in a standardized XML format.
- Administrative Web Interface enabling ABSNet users to programmatically add and remove CUSIPs from existing Portfolios on ABSNet
- User-defined Export times and deal selection
- Historical record of all exports will be available for reference and audit trail
