Howdy b,
I really wish the problems were of my own creation because then I could know how to fix them. Everything is working fine now as tech support sent me a fix, but here's my list of probs/issue as copied from my post a couple of weeks ago:
1. After my initial download of 10 yrs of data via UA into AB what happens to the data that is locally stored in AB, and is beyond the 10 year window in terms of adjustments for dividends/splits/distributions, etc. This is an issue for all AB/CSI users since the day after your subscription you'll have 10yrs + 1 day worth of data. If that "extra" data isn't auto adjusted this will be big problem.
Responses from tech support via phone (as they never responded to my e-mails) ranged from yes it will adjust, to no it only adjusts the 10 years, to finally "I'll get back to you". So I have no idea how this issue is being addressed, if at all.
2. Related to question#1, how does the days of history field in UA/Preferences/Distribution3 affect my daily update. What number should this be? What does this number mean on daily updates-- that corrections are applied on up to x number of bars as specified in preferences. Or worse, does this number have to change dynamically to account for a new bar added to the database each day?
I tried setting the number to 10yrs 7 mos worth of data which is what I have now, and received an EAccess error. Again, tech support has not gotten back to me on this. What concerns me is the EAccess error goes away if change days of history to 10yrs worth of data which implies that the moving 10 year window is indeed in effect and older data is not adjusted. Again, I'm only speculating, but what else can I do when I can't get a clear response from CSI?b <b519b@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Gary,What type of problems do you have with CSI's UA?I have had my share of problems installing CSI's UA. Infact, I have managed to repeatedly shoot myself in thefoot. Sometimes it has clearly been my mistake. About 3 weeks agoI installed the most recent UA version (2.7.8) but I musthave selected the Futures and Stocks install option(instead of the Stocks only option). The result UA onlygave me access to data from the date of the install on. Ihad UA doing automatic exports to AB for over 2 weeksbefore I clued in. Other times, it is my faulty memory. Quite a while ago Ilearned that I need to have UA install the optionalPosition Manager (which I do not use). If I do not selectthe the PM option, then the install program assumes I donot need the BDE (Borland Database Engine) that PM uses. Soit appears
that the install program disables the BDEversion I already have on my computer. Then other programsthat do BDE no longer have access to it. Well when I reinstalled UA to correct my mistake ofinstalling both Futures and Stocks (when I only have asubscription for Stocks), I forgot to install the PM aswell. So I had to uninstall UA and reinstall it with the PMoption on.Another wrinkle is that having UA install PM seems to causethe BDE to forget all the aliases I have set up for otherdatabases. So I then have to re-create those aliases. b--- dingo <dingo@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:> ok. thanks duude!> > you still having those probs?> > d> > > _____ > > From: Gary A.
