1 About End User Reporting

End User Reporting (“EUR”) is an end to end reporting solution having inbuilt knowledge of Corporate Action
(CA) and Security Processing (SP) data. The data is available for use in simple and comprehensive BaNCS Objects
(BOs). The BaNCS Objects are organized in optimal manner for reporting and analysis. Further, the User Interface
(GUI) enables users to design/configure and schedule own reports and charts in minutes.
The End User Reporting gives report writing and maintenance control to users and works on the concept of
BaNCS objects (BOs).
1.1 BaNCS Objects (BOs)

BaNCS Objects (BO) is comprehensive and simple, is available on a separate database & comprise of one or more
BO tables.
BOs are refreshed from the transaction tables in a cyclic process.
 Materialized views (MV) on transaction tables have been used for replication.

 Procedures are available to read the mv logs and write the data into the BO tables

 For the very first time, it will be a complete refresh; subsequent runs will have only delta changes
since last update. Data integrity is maintained using refresh groups.
BOs design follows following design principles
 De-referencing: for example system codes are replaced with user friendly descriptions, reference data
information such as BP name/Security Name embedded within BO.

 De-generalization: Data has been qualified in the BO - such as event rates, dates and prices according
to their context in event processing, or different address type of a customer.

 Derivation: Manual code, function and formula based transformation. This may include something as
simple as making available account identifiers from legacy system for reporting, having signed amounts
based on credit/debit indicators, derived fields based on complex arithmetic & statistical formulas or
defaulting value for an attribute based on conditions.
A BO contains set of underlying BO tables, relationship between them enables auto query builder to generate
the query based on report’s configuration (selection, filters ….) and generate desired reports.
For each BO, a default BO slice is available for use to define reports. BO slice contains the attributes to select
for reports. They are shown in the order defined in design (metadata).
Relationship between BO tables enables auto query builder to generate the query based on report’s
configuration (selection, filters ….) and generate desired reports.

header of the generated report
System generated. First time this will be in Draft status. Once User activates a
report, this status will be changed to Active status. Reports are scheduled for
3 Status generation when they are in ‘Active’ status. A Report can also be temporarily
suspended for generation in ‘In Active’ status and while being modified moves into
‘Modified-on Hold’ status.
4 Object Name of the BaNCS Object. Non editable field.
Define the report's format from the available options :
- Excel, PDF (Page size from A0 to B9) , Orientation Landscape / Portrait
5 Format
- Text - Based on user's attribute selection, a text report becomes multi row text
report with label and data printed one below the other.
Owner, A report's/chart's access can be given to an individual or to a user group. The
6 Owner Id, individual report/chart can be created for use by self or on behalf of another user.
Owner Name Report/Chart with Individual access will be available only to the individual Owner. A

Report/Chart with access to user group shall be available to all users belonging to
the user group. The generated Report/Chart and all operations on the Report/Chart

Based on the frequency of the report user is allowed to define Start/ End time and
mark the report for generation at End Of Day.
For example, for hourly, 2 hourly etc , define the start and end time. For Weekly,
can either define the start time or check EOD flag to generate the end of day.
A report/chart with this option will be printed with following information on the
8 Cover Page first page Logo, Report Name, Name of the report creator, Generation Date,
Company name and address.
9 Logo Choice of Logo to be printed.
10 Print Tick print box to move the generated files to a folder on server for printing
Choose from Standard, Chart, Cross tab report. Currently by default only standard is
11 Category
available.
A report can be subscribed i.e. various consumers can request same report with
Subscription only information of their interest. Tick this indicator to enable subscription. This will
12
Indicator enable the subscription operation on the report to open the package list and select
consumer BPs.
In a multi entity/OU environment, the report’s generation time will vary, so will be
13 Time zone the End of day processing time. Hence for appropriate scheduling and to compute
the local time, this entry is required and it is mandatory field.

BP/SCA email ids as well as of users belonging to the defined user group. BP/SCA is considered
external.
o For external, if email authorization is required, then report will be generated but would
require authorization before emailing first copy of scheduled report.
o Release Email Manually – to seek authorization prior to emailing subsequent copies of
scheduled report.

used for extremely important reports or customer reports.
Specify valid e-mail id to which the group report is to be emailed once the report
is generated (individual reports cannot be e-mailed to external domains). The ids
are validated against the one stored in BaNCS (both internal and external). At the
implementation time, it can be specified the domains which will be considered as
2 Email Id internal and the rest will be treated as external domain for e-mail purpose. At the
implementation time itself, it can be specified if external emails are to be
authorized. If yes, then first time report output will have to be authorized by
someone else in the group and then further outputs of the same report will go
out automatically.
