Why Results Can Differ Between Environments

If you have both a “production” and “staging” environment and have results for a particular NAV date in the production environment and upload a file into the staging environment. While you may expect the results to be mirrored in the staging environment, you could potentially see different results. Here are some reasons why:

Results are not appearing, or appear with different values

• The active rules differ between production & staging environments (e.g. rules deactivated, rules not approved).
• You are uploading a different position in the XML file in staging
• There are different aggregation structures in production & staging
• The portfolios/entities have different rule folders in production & staging
• The data overrides are different in production & staging
• The RegData has changed since the file was last run
• The disclosure history (which can be seen in the Results Chart) is not the same due to different disclosure values and imported disclosures
  
  • Most rules rely on yesterday’s results, which will need to be the same across environments
  • Some rules also rely on Historic Disclosure values (e.g. LastDisclosureValue, LastDisclosureValue)

Results with the same value have different status (e.g. OK instead of Warning)

• You have a different warning level set-up at entity/rule or combined level
  Otherwise, same as “Results Not Appearing"

Next steps

• Export portfolios from the production environment & import to staging to ensure they are the same
• Export data overrides from the production environment & import to staging to ensure they are the same
• Ensure all imported disclosures are the same in both environments
• Ensure all rules are approved in the production and staging environments
