4.3 Instrument Synchronization
During the period-ending load cycle, data is loaded into Client Data Objects
such as Instrument tables and the LEDGER_STAT table. During this load
process, it is possible for new, unidentified Dimension and Code values to be loaded
into these tables.
The Instrument Synchronization procedure identifies these new Dimension and Code values and inserts default description entries for them into the appropriate tables. The procedure performs both of these synchronizations simultaneously. OFSAAI requires that all Dimension and Code values have a corresponding description. This is required for any OFSAA reporting operation to return the correct results. It also ensures that Hierarchies work properly within the OFS analytical applications.
