Main Menu | Data Capture | Security Import
To initiate a request for security information, select the Request Security Data button. The Security information is synchronized with the capture date, therefore you will be prompted for the request date in the following dialog.
The date displayed in the dialog box defaults to the current capture date. If this is the first step in the processing of information for the new month, it will still be set to the prior month. Change it to the appropriate date. Select OK to start the dialing process.
A connection is made to the FinSer BBS. This prompts the system at FinSer to create a file of the investment information for the requested date.
When the request is completed, an information message dialog box will be displayed:
As a Service Bureau client, the basic information has already been processed and needs to be gathered and prepared in a return information package. You need to allow approximately 30 minutes before you request and import the information.
To initiate the receipt of the information, select the Import Security Data button.
The system again dials the FinSer BBS and automatically downloads the information data package. Once the transfer is complete, it will import the information into the IRR-Solutions® II database. If the import completes without any errors, the following information dialog box will be displayed:
Date and time are updated on the screen.
