Portfolio hierarchy & cannot be changed (evaluation data exists)
Help Document

Diagnosis

The specified portfolio hierarchy was supposed to be changed or deleted. However, evaluation data exists that are dependent on the nodes of the portfolio hierarchy. If you delete the portfolio hierarchy or change the tree structure, then you will no longer be able to access the saved evaluation data. This is also true for archived evaluation data.

Currently, there is data that is dependent on the nodes of the portfolio hierarchy stored in the following applications:

  • Report data memory (value at risk)
  • Final results of the results database (Risk and Portfolio Analyzer)

For details about the report data runs or the procedure for final results that refer to the portfolio hierarchy, see the status function in the display transaction of the portfolio hierarchy. To call this transaction, go to the area menu and choose Evaluation Control -> Portfolio Hierarchy -> Display.

System Response

The activity is terminated. The system does not change the portfolio hierarchy, or it deletes the portfolio hierarchy.

If the definition of the portfolio hierarchy has already been changed (for example, by a transport) and, in this step, you want to adjust the tree structure, the system does not carry out the adjustment. Instead, it continues to use the old tree structure. The changed definition is ignored.

Procedure

Deleting the portfolio hierarchy

If you want to delete the portfolio hierarchy, you first have to delete the dependent final results and the dependent RDM data. To do this, use the management transaction in the relevant application. If you still need the saved evaluation data, you should deactivate the portfolio hierarchy and not delete it. If you do this, you can still use the portfolio hierarchy to display the evaluation data, but the portfolio hierarchy can then no longer be used for current evaluations.

Generating the portfolio hierarchy

If you transport the definition of the portfolio hierarchy or if you change an assigned characteristic hierarchy, the system should restructure the tree structure. These definition changes would, however, cause existing nodes to be omitted or the tree structure to be changed. This is not permitted. You have to choose definition changes that make just one extension to the tree structure.

The system does not generate the portfolio hierarchy and, therefore, does not adjust the new definitions. Instead, the system updates the tree structure on the basis of the saved definitions that were last valid (backup version). You can display the differences between the backup version and the changed definition by means of the status function in the display transaction of the portfolio hierarchy (choose Evaluation Control -> Portfolio Hierarchy -> Display).

Check whether you can adjust the definition of the portfolio hierarchy or of the characteristic hierarchy, so that it would result in only one extension of the portfolio hierarchy. If you cannot do this, you have to create a new portfolio hierarchy. If the old portfolio hierarchy is to be used just to display saved evaluation data, then it should be deactivated (choose Evaluation Control -> Portfolio Hierarchy -> Deactivate).

Changing the portfolio hierarchy

You wanted to delete the assignment of the filter to the portfolio hierarchy. In principle, this is possible. However, the system cannot do this because it cannot generate the portfolio hierarchy due to incorrect definitions. See also the point on the generation of portfolio hierarchies. You therefore have to correct the incorrect definitions before you can delete the assignments to a filter.
