Data provider | Write | Finbourne | Provided with LUSID |
The Lusid.Portfolio.Txn.Property.Writer
provider enables you to write a Luminesce SQL query that either upserts or deletes custom properties to or from transactions in LUSID.
Note: The LUSID user running the query must have sufficient access control permissions to both use the provider and modify transaction property data in LUSID. This should automatically be the case if you are the domain owner.
You must construct a valid table of data to write, one property per record. Lusid.Portfolio.Txn.Property.Writer
lists the fields (columns) available to populate with values for each record, and has a set of parameters to help you construct a valid table.
Your query can use the WriteAction
field to perform one of the following operations:
- Upsert a transaction property; that is, create a property if it does not exist, and update it if it does. This is the default operation if you omit
WriteAction
. - Delete a transaction property.

Basic usage
@table_of_data = <select-statement>;
select * from Lusid.Portfolio.Txn.Property.Writer where toWrite = @table_of_data;
Query parameters
Lusid.Portfolio.Txn.Property.Writer
has parameters that help you construct a valid table of data to write.
Note: The toWrite
parameter is mandatory and used to actually write the table of data into LUSID.
To list available parameters, their data types, default values, and an explanation for each, run the following query using a suitable tool:
select FieldName, DataType, ParamDefaultValue, Description from Sys.Field where TableName = 'Lusid.Portfolio.Txn.Property.Writer' and FieldType = 'Parameter';
Data fields
Lusid.Portfolio.Txn.Property.Writer
lists the fields you can populate in your table of data to write.
Depending on the operation you want to perform, the following fields are mandatory to include in the table of data:
Operation | Specify using... | Mandatory fields | Notes |
Upsert | 'Upsert' as WriteAction (or omit) | TxnId | The Value field is a text field, so you should supply the property value as a string, for example 'true' as Value or '10.5' as Value or '2020-01-01' as Value . Providing it is meaningful to do so, Luminesce automatically casts the value to the data type of the underlying property type, or raises a write error if not. |
Delete | 'Delete' as WriteAction | TxnId PortfolioCode PropertyScope PropertyCode |
To list all available fields, their data types, whether fields are considered 'main', and an explanation for each, run the following query using a suitable tool:
select FieldName, DataType, IsMain, IsPrimaryKey, SampleValues, Description from Sys.Field where TableName = 'Lusid.Portfolio.Txn.Property.Writer' and FieldType = 'Column';
Write errors
We recommend examining the results of every write query using one or more of the WriteError
, WriteErrorCode
and WriteErrorDetail
fields.
For each record in the table of data to write, Lusid.Portfolio.Txn.Property.Writer
returns an error code. If the operation is successful, the error code is 0
. If unsuccessful, a positive error code and explanation help you discover why LUSID considers the operation invalid.
For example, the query:
@table_of_data = select 'Finbourne-Examples' as PortfolioScope, 'Finbourne-Examples' as PropertyScope,
'Global-Equity14' as TxnId, 'ExCo' as PropertyCode, 'JPX' as Value, 'delete' as WriteAction;
select WriteErrorCode, WriteError, WriteErrorDetail from Lusid.Portfolio.Txn.Property.Writer where toWrite = @table_of_data;
... fails because a PortfolioCode
is not specified.
Examples
Note: For more example Luminesce SQL queries, visit our Github repo.
Example 1: Add a property to a transaction
In this example, LUSID adds a property defined as an exchange code to an existing transaction. The query defaults to the 'Upsert' action as no explicit WriteAction
is specified.
@table_of_data = select 'Finbourne-Examples' as PortfolioScope, 'Global-Equity' as PortfolioCode,
'Finbourne-Examples' as PropertyScope, 'Global-Equity13' as TxnId, 'ExCo' as PropertyCode, 'FRA' as Value;
select * from Lusid.Portfolio.Txn.Property.Writer where ToWrite = @table_of_data;
Example 2: Delete a property from a transaction
In this example, the explicit use of 'Delete' as WriteAction
deletes a property for a particular transaction.
@table_of_data = select 'Finbourne-Examples' as PortfolioScope, 'Global-Equity' as PortfolioCode,
'Finbourne-Examples' as PropertyScope, 'Global-Equity18' as TxnId, 'ExCo' as PropertyCode, 'Delete' as WriteAction;
select * from Lusid.Portfolio.Txn.Property.Writer where ToWrite = @table_of_data;
Example 3: Add multiple properties to multiple transactions
In this example, eight exchange code properties are added to eight different transactions at the same time using the default WriteAction
.
@vals = values ('Global-Equity11', 'NYSE'), ('Global-Equity12', 'LON'), ('Global-Equity13', 'FRA'), ('Global-Equity14', 'JPX'), ('Global-Equity15', 'FRA'), ('Global-Equity16', 'LON'), ('Global-Equity17', 'NYSE'), ('Global-Equity18', 'NYSE'); @table_of_data = select 'Finbourne-Examples' as PortfolioScope, 'Global-Equity' as PortfolioCode, 'Finbourne-Examples' as PropertyScope, column1 as TxnId, 'ExCo' as PropertyCode, column2 as Value from @vals; select * from Lusid.Portfolio.Txn.Property.Writer where ToWrite = @table_of_data;
