8.3.1 Threshold Sets

Threshold sets allow you to run the same scenario multiple times against a variety of sources (for example, exchanges, currencies, or jurisdictions) with separate threshold values for each source.

For example, you may have a scenario with the base threshold set and two additional threshold sets that were created during deployment. You decide that you need this scenario to detect matches in transactions with a minimum value in US currency, European currency, and Japanese currency. Rather than changing the base threshold set for each situation, you can set the value of the base threshold set to detect US currency (for example, USD 100,000), the second threshold set to detect European currency (for example, EUR 150,000), and the third threshold set to detect Japanese currency (for example, JPY 125,000).

Since threshold sets two and three have only a few fields that differ from the base threshold set, you can check the Inherit Base Value check box feature for those fields that are exactly the same as the base threshold set. This feature associates the threshold values in the threshold set you are modifying with the corresponding values in the base threshold set. This association copies the corresponding base threshold set values to the set you are modifying and automatically updates them if the base value changes (refer to <Scenario–Threshold Set> Area for more information).

You do not have to run all three jobs all the time. Each threshold set has a unique ID, so you can tell the system which set to run and how often to run it. Refer to your scheduling tool’s (for example, Control- M) documentation to sequence these jobs.

Note:

Use the Threshold Editor to modify the values of existing threshold sets. Threshold sets can be created either through the Add New Threshold Set button or through the Scenario Manager.
