PortfolioCenter - Junxure SQL Import

Requires MS Access 2000, XP, 2003, or 2007

 

This interface requires an ODBC connection to the Junxure database.

Click the link below for step by step instructions for creating this connection

ODBC Setup


This interface is “machine specific” and will need to be downloaded and setup on any workstation that needs to run the import. Once the interface is run, the updated assets and account values will be visible by all users on all machines

 

Interface Setup

There are 2 methods to set this up.

 

Method 1

(Preferred Method)

Download the following self extracting executable and save it to your desktop.

Self Extracting PC interface (contains both files)

Once you have the self extracting file on your PC, double click on the file to run it.

You will be prompted to click the install button. The file location does not need to be modified.

If it asks you to “Confirm file replace”, then click “Yes to All”

The interface files will be copied to the directory. If the folders do not exist, it will create them automatically.

The Interface should be ready to use from within Junxure from Database Tools > Interfaces > PortfolioCenter

 

Method 2

 (use this only if Method 1 does not work for you)


Download the zip file below, save to your desktop, and then right click and unzip/extract the zip file into the
c:\junxure\assetimports\portfoliocenter folder.

You may need to manually create the “AssetImports” and “PortfolioCenter” folders

PortfolioCenterImportXML.zip

Interface Use

 

You will access the interface in Junxure by going to Database Tools > Interfaces > PortfolioCenter

If the import does not open and you get a “compile error” you may possibly need to install the following XML file from Microsoft.

Click the link to get the  XML file from Microsoft if you get the “Compile Error”  MSXML 6

When you first open the import, you will need to fill out the PortfolioCenter Database name and the server name. Once entered, this information will be saved in the import for future use.

This info can be obtained in PortfolioCenter by clicking on Help > About PortfolioCenter

For Offices with Multiple Databases- you can run through all steps of the interface as below for one PortfolioCenter Database and then you can run the interface again after inputting the second PortfolioCenter Database Name.

The “As of date” will always default to yesterdays date. However, on Mondays, or the day after Market Holidays, you will need to set this date back to the last “Close of Market”

 

The  button is only to be used the first time you ever download from Portfolio Center, and only if you are switching from one import program to another.

The opens a form that allows you to clear out old assets you may have imported from another program with one of our other interfaces. Failure to clear out old assets from another interface can result in duplication of assets in Junxure.

 

 

Step 1-

To begin using the interface, once you have entered the above information, click on the

Import From PortfolioCenter” button and the login screen will appear.

 

 

This password will be the “SA” (Security Admin) password for PortfolioCenter NOT your normal PC login.

This is not the SA password for the SQL database.

 

 

The interface may take a few minutes to communicate with the PC server and then will download the assets into a temporary database. When it is complete, the login screen will disappear and you will get a message box stating

“XML Import Complete”

 

Step 2-

Once you have “XML Import Complete” click on the “Check the Import Results” button.

A second screen will open and you will be able to highlight client names on the left and see the assets to be imported on the right.

 

**If this screen is blank (as above), DO NOT move forward with the next step- click the link below for more information**

Step 3-

Provided that you do get results on the “Check Import Results” screen, you may now click on the “Import to Junxure” button.

The process will run through and the assets will be entered into Junxure and it will also delete any assets previously imported from PortfolioCenter that are not in the current download from PC.

 This keeps you from having to do “double cleanup”. When you remove an asset from PortfolioCenter, the next time you run the interface, the asset will be deleted in Junxure as well. When the process completes, you will see “Update Complete”

 

 

Step 4-

Click the “View Missing Account #s” or the “View Missing Acct#s Spreadsheet

This will be a list of account numbers downloaded from PortfolioCenter, that have not yet been entered into Junxure.

This asset import works by matching account numbers. Any account numbers on this report will need to be entered into Junxure manually. To do this, open the appropriate contact, click on the “Accounts/Assets” tab, the “Accounts” sub-tab, and then click “Add”

On the first use the list may be large, however, as you move forward and get all the numbers on the list entered onto the contacts, this list should only show newly entered accounts in PortfolioCenter that are not yet in Junxure.

 

 

 

This Import can be run as often as you would like to update the accounts and assets in Junxure. Many offices do this on a daily basis to keep the information as up to date as possible.
