This SAS Note provides a summary of the changes and enhancements made for SAS Risk and Finance Workbench

Middle-tier Component Changes

• Enhanced handling of hierarchies to retain hierarchy versions if a hierarchy is updated or added.
• Improved handling of work groups in the Model Group Run page so that the Work Group drop-down list contains only Risk work groups (created using the script) and an RFW capability.
• Added a dimension check that uses a dimension ID so that changes can be made to dimensions.
• Improved processing of shock fade-in and fade-outs for scenarios and Model Sensitivity Analysis (MSA).
• Added a check so that process definitions that do not have a transition to the last task are not imported.
• Added an _OG function so that the "as of date" for projects can be added to report templates.
• Enhanced the handling of the PUBLIC keyword for work groups to better handle various casings that might occur in API calls.
• Improved the handling of work groups by middle-tier APIs.
• Enhanced the reporting API to accommodate newly introduced changes (cross-module validations and validation rule changes) in European Banking Authority (EBA) 2.8.0.0.
• Improved log messages for archive importation failures when the import objects are different on the machine and in the archive.
• Improved security so that authorized users cannot access the project attachments unless they have access to the project.
• Improved security by using Apache POI JAR file version 3.17 (or later).
• Improved the hierarchy-creation functionality for reports and worksheets for Regulatory Content packages that use EBA taxonomies.

Server Component Changes

• Added the model_group_run_create function to the rfw_api module so that model group runs can be created.
• Improved the functioning of the model_group_run so that filed runs are managed with better error messaging.
• Added "Nonexistence check"–type validation rules for Regulatory Content packages that use EBA taxonomies.
• Improved the Validation Failure reporting for Regulatory Content packages that use EBA taxonomies.
• Added the model_group_run_execute API to better specify model group runs by entity and scenario.
• Enhanced the worksheet_data_get call so that filters are passed by using the scenarioName parameter and entity.
• Enhanced Lua API functionality for project creation to support the addition of more worksheets.

Performance

• Changed running multiple reports from simultaneous to serial, which avoids severe slowdowns on SASServer11 and out-of-memory exceptions.
