Project structure and distribution

This page describes the nature of the source code that is provided with the Market Risk Accelerator. It explains the difference between the code in the Core and Reference.

Source Code

The Market Risk Accelerator contains source code (with documentation) that includes PostProcessors.

The Market Risk Accelerator source code is organized into two logical blocks:

• Core: Represents code that generally is not modified by clients. It comprises the MRA calculations and will be maintained by ActiveViam.

  For more information on the postprocessor chains for the MRA calculations, see DoctorPivot - viewing measures and postprocessors.

   

• Reference: Represents the reference implementation. It is essentially a starter project on which customisations are likely be made, to conform with client data models, structures, naming conventions, etc.

  It provides:

  Element	Description
  A predefined data model supports a documented file format	For information, see Input File Formats, MRA Datastore Configuration and cube configuration
  Various predefined measures in logically defined cubes	For information, see Measures and context values
  What-if scenarios	For information, see About What-If analysis
  A sample set of bookmarks for clients using ActiveUI	For information, see Dashboards

• For more information, see MRA Reference Implementation.

Maven Project Modules

Project Structure

Below is a list of all the different maven modules that form part of the Market Risk Accelerator.

Module Name	Delivery Type	Description
risk-core	JAR	Contains the post processors for the main calculations
risk-activepivot	Source Code + JAR	Contains the store configuration and the default CSV ETL logic
risk-activemonitor	Source Code	ActiveMonitor code for reference implementation
risk-common	Source Code	Common classes shared between ActiveMonitor & ActivePivot
risk-starter	Source Code	Reference implementation that ties together the risk-core and risk-activepivot. Client customisation should be done in this module.

When we refer to the “Core” throughout the documentation, we are referring to the module risk-core. The “Reference Implementation” refers to the rest of the modules in the project which we expect to be customized as per client needs.
