TAME Operation Manual:

Running the Daily Update

IF USING A NETWORK VERSION OF TAME, ENSURE NO OTHER USERS ARE IN THE SYSTEM WHEN RUNNING THE UPDATE

Updates are generally available for previous day information after 7:30am PST the following day. (ie 24 Nov 2010 closing prices available for updating at 7:30am PST on 25 Nov 2010).

  • Open TAME
  • Left Click on “Daily Update” tab at top of screen
  • Left Click on “Update Database” button (this may take several minutes to complete full updating process)
  • When updating is completed a prompt will appear advising you if there are any “Actions” that you may need to deal with.  Left Click on “OK” button.
  • TAME is now up-to-date with all information that has been provided by all companies
  • After clicking the “OK” button the screen changes to the “Daily Status Changes” Tab which indicates any parameters that have “changed status”.  To see what has changes have ocurred, Left Click AND HOLD DOWN left mouse button on the “Legend” button to compare color codes.  When you release the mouse button it will close the Legend window.
  • To see the change in value of all funds from the previous day, Left Click on “Daily Price Performance” tab.  Initially this is sorted alphabetically. 

(Note – If you want to see if any funds/companies did not provide an update, Left Click on “Diff. % ” column heading of the table one time. Scroll Up to the top of the list.  Any funds that are not updated will show up in blue and indicate “OOD” (Out of Date) and the number of days the price has not been updated (ie x3 days).  Keep in mind that some investments only update every Friday and as such will show up regularly as OOD, however, if it seems like a longer than normal period, you should check with the fund company or contact us to review the situation.

  • The final tab is “Fund Name Changes”.  If TAME is made aware of a fund name change (still the same fund code) this will show up in this tab.  TAME automatically changes the fund name for all parameters being monitored in the database and automatically enters a note into the “Notes” section of each parameter affected by the name change indicated the old name, new name and date of change for future reference. 

(Note – IF THERE IS A FUND CODE CHANGE OR FUND MERGER, there is a manual process required to be completed by each TAME Subscriber.  Please refer to the Fund Mergers section of this manual for further direction)

THE ABOVE PROCESS SHOULD BE FOLLOWED EVERY BUSINESS DAY BY TAME SUBSCRIBERS AND ALL THREE TABS OF THE DAILY UPDATE SCREEN SHOULD BE REVIEWED AS OUTLINED ABOVE

  • If the Daily Update reveals that “action” is required on a parameter(s) and all of the above has been completed, Left Click on the “’Action” tab at top of screen and refer to the Actioning Parameters section of this manual for further direction.
