Review Figures

Trial Balance Reconciliation

A Trial Balance chart designed to help reconcile the Share and Loan counts & balances reported in Vital Signs to the Spectrum Trial Balance report (PGNTB - Member Trial Balance) can be found in the Member Charts tab of the Membership_Analysis_by_ACCOUNT application.

The chart is broken into two main sections: Balance by Account and Balance by Suffix

Balance by Account

Balance ranges are calculated based on the total balance for each member account. These totals should tie back to the Summit Trial Balance.

Balance by Suffix

Balance ranges are determined by the individual suffix balance.

Closed Suffixes: All CLOSED suffixes that qualify for the trial balance

• Closed shares qualify if the balance is non zero, or if the suffix is a share draft account
• Closed loans qualify if the balance is non zero, or if the credit limit is greater than zero

Excluded Suffixes: All OPEN suffixes that do NOT qualify for the trial balance

• These are shown this section with negative counts and balances
• These are ALSO included in the Open Suffixes section

Open Suffixes: All OPEN suffixes

• This total should match the Vital Signs Open Share/Loan totals on the status bar

Shares:

- Included:
 - Balance <> 0
 - Share Draft Acconts (CF(21) <> " ")
- Excluded:
 - Charged Off shares
 - Desc Abrv = $(vTB_Exclude_DescAbrv)

Loans:

- Included:
 - Balance <> 0
 - Credit Limit > 0
- Excluded:
 - Charged Off loans
 - Action = O,T,A
 - Collateral = $(vTB_Exclude_Collateral)

Configuration Files (data/config):

- edit Vital Signs.xls to configure the variables to exclude specific shares and loans
- edit Membership_Analysis.xls to update the balance ranges used in this chart

• Membership totals

Use the following query in Askplus to match to the Open Shares Count and Balance

In the example below, replace the macros %VS-ACTIVE-SHARE and %VS-CHGOFF-SHARE with the matching criteria found in the /ASKPLUS/vsdata/custom/live/vsmacdef

open membrs.report;

FIND PRIMARY=SHARE-FILE;
%VS-ACTIVE-SHARE AND
NOT (%VS-CHGOFF-SHARE)
END

REPORT
TF1, SHARE-FILE.ACCOUNT, TAB1, COUNT
TF1, SHARE-FILE.BALANCE, TAB2, ADD
END

Use the following query in Askplus to match to the Open Loans Count and Balance

In the example below, replace the macros %VS-OPEN-LOAN and %VS-CHGOFF-LOAN with the matching criteria found in the /ASKPLUS/vsdata/custom/live/vsmacdef

Note: %VS-OPEN-LOAN will contain the macro %VS-ACTIVE-LOAN which should also be replaced by the criteria found in vsmacdef.

open membrs.report;

FIND PRIMARY=LOAN-FILE;
%VS-OPEN-LOAN AND
NOT (%VS-CHGOFF-LOAN)
END

REPORT
TF1, LOAN-FILE.ACCOUNT, TAB1, COUNT
TF1, LOAN-FILE.BALANCE, TAB2, ADD
END

• PMANSTAT Reconciliation with Vital Signs Trial balance

Shares Count and Balance

open membrs.report;

FIND PRIMARY=SHARE-FILE;
SHARE-FILE.DESC-ABRV <> "COS" AND
(SHARE-FILE.BALANCE <> 0 OR SHARE-FILE.CONTROL-FLAGS(21) <> " ")
END

REPORT
TF1, SHARE-FILE.ACCOUNT, TAB1, COUNT
TF1, SHARE-FILE.BALANCE, TAB2, ADD
END

Loans Count and Balance

Note: "O","T" can be modified to reflect the vTB_Exclude_LoanAction list found in vitalsigns.xls

open membrs.report;

FIND PRIMARY=LOAN-FILE;
LOAN-FILE.ACTION <> "O","T" AND
(LOAN-FILE.BALANCE <> 0 OR
 LOAN-FILE.CREDIT-LIM > 0)
END

REPORT
TF1, LOAN-FILE.ACCOUNT, TAB1, COUNT
TF1, LOAN-FILE.BALANCE, TAB2, ADD
END

Note: If the Loan counts and balances are higher in Vital Signs compared to PMANSTAT, use the following to find other Actions to add to vTB_Exclude_LoanAction in vitalsigns.xls :

FIND PRIMARY=LOAN-FILE;
LOAN-FILE.ACTION <> "D","O","T" AND
(LOAN-FILE.BALANCE <> 0 OR
   LOAN-FILE.CREDIT-LIM > 0)
END

R
S1, ACTION
T1, ACTION, TAB1
T1, ACCOUNT, TAB2, COUNT
END

Restore/Extract Prior EOM Report Databases

Step 1 Choose where the desired data will be restored into (eloq-TEST or eloq-TRAIN) Enter this location into the /ASKPLUS/vsrvtcp.ini file by doing the following:

Login to HPUX as the askplus user Edit /ASKPLUS/vsrvtcp.ini At the end of the file, you will find the [vsdata_live_restore] section, modify "EQ_DBSERVER" to the correct value example :

[vsdata_live_restore]
login=bolive
Directory=/var/summit/spectrum/LIVE/vsdata
TEMP=/var/summit/spectrum/LIVE/vsdata/temp
EQ_DBSERVER=localhost:eloq-TEST
script_path=/ASKPLUS/vsdata/scripts
custom_path=/ASKPLUS/vsdata/custom/live
Vmgr=/ASKPLUS/vsdata/custom/live/vmgr_eom

Step 2 - (Required only during INITIAL Setup/Extract for Vital Signs)

Restore the year end membrs.report and membr2.report databases to the Eloquence instance you selected in step 1.

Run the extracts for the year end that was restored in step 2

Login as bolive
cd /var/summit/spectrum/LIVE
run /VSJOBS/JVSLOAD_MBRSHLN restore 20101231

Step 3 - (Optional)

Restore any prior month end membrs.report and membr2.report databases to the Eloquence instance you selected in step 1.

Run the extracts for the month end that was restored:

Login as bolive
cd /var/summit/spectrum/LIVE
/VSJOBS/JVSLOAD_MBRSHLN restore 20110131

Repeat step 3 for all the months that you want to load

Step 4

Process the new EOM extracts to the Vital Signs documents on the Windows Server – login bolive – cd /var/summit/spectrum/LIVE – /VSJOBS/JVSRELOAD MBRSHLN_Monthly YYYYMMDD – YYYYMMDD must be the most recent month end extract or most recent month end available on the Windows Server hosting Vital Signs Once the RELOAD has completed your new data will be available to view in Vital Signs.
