User Manual V-9.0.0

Overview

true-Advice enables UBS customers to automatically convert data from and to SWIFT messages. It relies on true-Broker to establish secure communication with UBS.

true-Advice Web is a web application running on an Apache Tomcat server.

true-Advice Web is multi-client capable. true-Advice Web Administration is used to manage the client instances of true-Advice Web. For each client a specific true-Advice Web application instance is deployed on Apache Tomcat which separates it from the other clients.

The configuration of each true-Advice Web client instance is held in an internal database.

A separate license is needed for each client. The different true-Advice Web modules are deployed based on the purchased license.

Usage

Report format

The format of the Excel report is based on the PsN Light format of UBS. A detailed description can be found here:

https://www.keyon.ch/transfer/trueAdviceReporting/CSPsNLightFormatDescription.zip

Data archive

true-Advice does not delete any files. The processed files are stored in the archive folder as configured. (See Chapter 8.2) The original SWIFT files are stored in a subfolder called SWIFT. The converter PsN Light (CSV) files are stored in a daily ZIP file directly in the archive folder.

Rerun a report

The report can be manually started as described in Chapter 8. To reuse the data of previously created report, simply copy or move the according ZIP file from the archive folder back into the input folder prior to executing the report. The ZIP files do not need to be extracted.

Templates

Templates can be used to customize the created Excel report. true-Advice can use an existing Excel file as template, and it will add all sheets or enhance existing sheets. This way Excel formulas can be used to extract or calculate values from the created PsN Light sheets into new customized sheets.

Template file

The template file is located here:

• C:\ProgramData\keyon\true-Advice\cfg\default\TrueAdviceReporting_Template.xlsx

It can be changed or replaced by another template. true-Advice will automatically pick up the file from this location.

An example template file is located here:

• C:\ProgramData\keyon\true-Advice\cfg\default\TrueAdviceReporting_Template-Example.xlsx

Create a template

• Create a new Excel file
• Add the sheet you would like to see in your report (e.g. MySafekeepings)
• Add Excel formulas to collect / calculate the values you’d like to see in that sheet. For example:
  • To see the safekeeping account in column A use the below formula:
    ='Safekeeping Accounts'!R5
    An empty sheet “Safekeeping Accounts” needs to exist in the template.
  • To see the respective ISIN in column B use the below formula:
    ='Safekeeping Accounts'!AB5
    An empty sheet “Safekeeping Accounts” needs to exist in the template.
  • To see the description of the ISIN in column C use the below formula:
    =VLOOKUP(B2;'Financial Instrument Info'!B5:AB494;27;FALSE)
    An empty sheet “Financial Instrument Info” needs to exist in the template.
  • Expand the formula until all accounts are shown.
  • Safe the file as TrueAdviceReporting_Template.xlsx and replace the original template with the path mentioned above.

All available Excel formulas can be used in the template, true-Advice will fill all the empty sheets with the latest data and afterwards execute / calculate the formulas.

It is not possible to have multiple templates, if the template contains macros it needs to be named TrueAdviceReporting_Template.xlsm and the original template file needs to be removed.

It is the responsibility of the customer to create and maintain such customized templates.

M/L Report

The M/L Report module is based on the Reporting module and creates a specific Margin Lending report, based on the raw data from UBS. This option is currently only available for customers in APAC.

Configuration

For a detailed description of the Reporting module, please refer to chapter 8. This chapter only explains the M/L Report specific configuration settings.

Setting	Description	Default
Create report for all CIFs	Creates a report for all customer, even if there are no lending / collateral available	False
Include collateral disclaimer	Option to exclude the disclaimer from the created report	False

Report

The report consists of a summary page which shows – amongst other values – the overall Market Value, Collateral Value and Liabilities Value of the client.

Furthermore, it contains a separate sheet per currency, which contains a detailed list of all assets and liabilities held in the respective currency.

MiFIR Report

The MiFIR Report module is based on the Reporting module and creates an Excel report in the format specified by UnaVista, which contains all required attributes for the MiFIR report.

Configuration

For a detailed description of the Reporting module, please refer to chapter 8. There are no options specific to the MiFIR Report.

Template

To create the MiFIR Report, a specific template needs to be configured. For details regarding templates please refer to chapter 8.6.

The MiFIR template – which is provided by SITS – contains a sheet which includes all the static data needed to enhance the data received from UBS to create all columns required by MiFIR. This sheet needs to be maintained by the customer.

Macros

The report is based on the Time Scheduler configuration (see chapter 8.3) once the standard report is created it can be converted into the MiFIR Report by executing two Excel macros.

• Open the report
• Click on the View menu
• Click on Macros 🡪 View Macros

• Execute the first macro***: a_createMIFIR***
• Double check the content of the report
• Execute the second macro: b_cleanupMIFIR

Once both macros have been run, the report consists only of one sheet called MIFIR which contains all transactions since the last report was created, and the enhanced columns sourced by the static data. This report can now be uploaded into the UnaVista web application.

Reporting with Bloomberg®

The Reporting with Bloomberg® module is based on the Reporting module and is used to convert SWIFT messages into an Excel report which is then uploaded to Bloomberg® using an SFTP connection.

It consists of two parts, one for the creation of the report (Reporting) and the second one for the upload to Bloomberg®.

Reporting

For a detailed description of the Reporting module, please refer to chapter 8. This chapter only explains the Bloomberg® specific configuration settings.

Setting	Description	Default
Include FX Forwards in the BBGUpload Sheet	If set, FX forwards are also included in the report which is forwarded to Bloomberg®.	True

SFTP Main page

The main page is used to trigger an upload to Bloomberg®.

Use the Start button to start uploading the files. Before you can start uploading files you have to configure true-Advice Web using the configuration links under Bloomberg Reporting.

Once the application is running you can use the Refresh button to update the state. However, since the upload of the files only takes a few seconds, the status will normally jump back to stopped straight away. Based on the Last start up timestamp you can verify if it already ran.

Once all files are uploaded, it will return into the stopped state.

Uploader Configuration

Use the uploader configuration page to configure where to upload your files.

The Remote-Host and Remote-Directory are per default set for the SFTP server of Bloomberg®. The SFTP username and password are provided to you during the setup process by Bloomberg.

The Output directory defines the directory where the files which need to be uploaded are stored. It needs to be the same directory as configured as Output directory in the Reporting module (See Chapter 8.2).

The archive directory defines where the files which were already uploaded are stored.

Use the following syntax, if you want to store the messages in a local directory:

/directory/[subdirectory/]

In case of a network directory use the following syntax:

smb://share/directory/[subdirectory/]

You can optionally copy the URL of your network directory from your explorer:

\\share\directory\[subdirectory\]

Do not use mapped network drives. The Tomcat Apache server is using the System account to run and does not have access to mapped network drives.

Please define the domain, username and password to access the network directory.

Press the Save button to save your changes

Advanced options

In the advanced options the SSH public and private key which is used to secure the SFTP connection can be configured.

Do not change these settings, unless you are advised by SITS support to do so.

Anonymizing Portfolio for Bloomberg

In case the actual portfolio information inside the report for the Bloomberg PORT upload does not need to be sent to Bloomberg, an option to anonymize the portfolio accounts is available. Inside the file C:\ProgramData\keyon\trueAdvice\cfg\BBUPortfolio\BBUPortfolio.xml the information can be configured.

By setting the parameter mapAllAccounts to true and not expanding the accounts list with the accountNr and alias information, the tool generates automatically an alias to substitute the portfolio number.

CSV/SWIFT Order Routing

The CSV/SWIFT Order Routing is used to exchange trading messages with UBS using the SOAP interface of true-Broker.

CSV/SWIFT Order Routing Adapter

SWIFT input format	If set, the received messages are stored in SWIFT format as txt files in the input directory	SWIFT
CSV input format	If set, the received messages are converted into CSV and then stored as files in the input directory	SWIFT
Input update interval	Period in which Order Routing checks for new messages in Seconds	15
Output directory	Defines the directory where the files, which are to be sent, are stored	-
Output update interval	Period in which Order Routing checks for new files in Seconds	15
