Migration notes 2.0.0

This page explains the changes required to migrate to the stated version of the Market Risk Accelerator.

Migrate to 2.0.0

Upgrading from version 1.10.0 See Market Risk Accelerator 2.0.0 Release Notes.

The Accelerator is using ActivePivot 5.9.6 and ActiveUI 4.3.13.

For new features and fixes included in these releases, please see the ActiveUI documentation and ActiveUI Migration Notes, and the release notes for ActivePivot.

For clients licensed to use ActiveMonitor, a skeleton module based on version 5.9.6 is included with the MRA Accelerator 2.0.0 release.

Headline announcement

  • Usage of the common library : The common features used by all accelerators are located in the ‘com.activeviam.apps/shared*.jar’ library. Several classes have been moved to this library. As a consequence a lot of imports have changed from ‘com.activeviam.risk’ to ‘com.activeviam.accelerator.common’.
  • Upgrade to AP5.9 : The accelerator now uses Active Pivot 5.9.x, which also means that only Java 11 is supported.
  • Adjustments 2.0 : Integration of the interfaces allowing the interaction with the Sign-Off Module. Implementation details can be found in Sign-off API implementation notes.
  • Profile for Sign-off functionality : The enable-signoff Spring Profile has been added to the Market Risk Accelerator, grouping all Sign-off functionality in a single toggled configuration.
  • Datastore Helper 2.0 : The Datastore Helper tool for defining and customizing the datastore schema has been upgraded to version 2.0. For details, refer to Datastore Helper implementation within MRA.
  • JUnit 5 : Most of the tests now use JUnit 5.
  • Data Connectors : The DEE feature is now integrated into an import/export toolbox library called “Data Connectors” prefixed with ‘com.activeviam.io’. See Data Connectors documentation for ActivePivot v5.10 or for ActivePivot v5.9
  • Corporate Actions : The dividends, coupons, stock splits or merge are now taken in account for PnL calculations.
  • Correlation : The correlation metric is handled. Its market data name is ‘RiskFactor 1/RiskFactor 2’.
  • Cross-Gamma : The cross-gamma metric is handled; it is the gamma between two risk factors, without bucketing.
  • Spring configuration : The Spring configuration templates for cube and datastore definition are in common with FRTB.
