Overview of data sources, report data and report sets (includes important definitions)

Spark architecture map maintains the same as on last Spark versions.

An SPARK Report Set

refers to set of source data, calculated data and the set of visualizations of that data.An individual Report Set will Typically be used to analyze one type of data (e.g. Positions, or Transactions).

Market Data

is sourced from the clients current in-house data sources.Sources can var greatly from installation to installation. But generally, Market Data includes Security Terms and Conditions and Current Prices & Volumes

Data Sources

feed data into Spark From external sources. These sources can include the Spark Data Warehouse, Prime Brokers, Administrators, or sources internal to the Investment Manager incluiding Spreadsheets, Files or Databases.Data fed into Spark from a Data Source is referred to as “Static Data” (can be referred on a Schedule, eg every 30 seconds, or can be read only once when Spark is opened.

Report Data

is the set of Static Data, Market Data, Spark Derived Data and User Derives Data that feeds into a given Report Set.Each Report Set in Spark will have its own unique Report Data.

  • Static Data: See Data Sources (above)
  • Market Data: See Market Data (above).
  • Spark Functions: Data calculated in real-time, includes Market Values, Weights, Subtotals, Risk and Performance Values, Alerts and other Derived Values.
  • User functions: Data calculated in real-time using Report Data as input User Defined Functions.

Report Columns

contain Report data that has been Labeled, Formatted, Annnotated and Categorized to meet the users specific requierements and conventions.Report Columns can be use in any reports or views in the report set.

Reports

Report´s Contain multiple Grids and Charts that can be shown in a “dashboard” orientation.

  • Each Grid View contains a set of filtered, subtotaled and delected columns.
  • Each Chart View can display selected ddata using over thirty 2-D and 3-D chart types.

All reports update source data, recalculate derived data and Grids and charts in real-time.

Multiple Report Sets can be customized and combine on a single users desktop to create a complete,real-time pictUre of his business
