Technical specification

1. Introduction

This document describes the layout and format of files to be provided to OSFI to populate the Risk Asset Portfolio Information Database. Data validation rules, errors and warnings are also described.

1.1. RAPID documents

The RAPID Data Field Definitions, Version 3.0 lists the code values and definitions for each field in RAPID. This document also provides examples, and background information about the data collected to populate RAPID.

The RAPID Technical Specification, Version 3.0 identifies the layout and format of files to be provided to OSFI to populate RAPID.

These two documents should be read in conjunction with each other.

2. Extract File Requirements

The following sections describe the extract file layout for RAPID. Throughout the extract file layout documentation, all primary key fields are printed in bold type and listed in the order in which they appear in the key.

Within the record layout in each section (sections 2.5 to 2.11), the first column refers to the Field ID, which should be used to link to the RAPID Data Field Definitions, Version 2.02 document. The second and third columns refer to start and end positions of that field within the record. The following columns are length of the field, field name, "M" which refers to mandatory field, and finally the "Notes" column provides extra information to assist with the planning of extracts and describes what field format/mask should be used.

2.1. File Type and Naming Convention

Data destined for the RAPID database will be a fixed width text file, 368 bytes per line, and with a Carriage Return (CR) and Line Feed (LF) as record delimiters. Fields which are empty (i.e. have no value) must be indicated by blank spaces if the data type is alphanumeric [PIC(X)] or zeroes if data type is numeric [PIC(9)]. Mandatory fields must be populated as indicated on the RAPID Data Field Definitions, Version 3.0.

The fixed width text file will have the naming convention of FI_RAPCORP_MMYYYY.DAT, where FI represents the Institution ID (provided by OSFI), RAPCORP is a fixed string, MM represents the month and YYYY represents the year of the reporting date of information.

2.2. Record Type

The first field in each row must be the record type or row identifier. Valid values are:

2.3. File Structure

The first row of the extract file must be a Header record ("00") and the last one must be a Footer record ("99"), and they must be the only "00" and "99" records in the file.

Apart from the Header and Footer, all the other (data) records may be in any order. Referential integrity is established by checking for the existence of parent records by using the primary keys (Common Risk ID, Borrower ID and Facility ID).

For example, every Facility record must have a Borrower record and each Borrower record must have a Common Risk record. The order of the records is irrelevant, as long as the logical data hierarchy structure is respected.

Also note that every Common Risk record must have a Common Risk sub-footer. The same applies for Borrower records: every Borrower record needs a Borrower sub-footer record.

OSFI suggests the following file structure:

File structure - Text version

• Header Record ("00")
  • Common Risk Header Record ("10")
    • Borrower Header Record ("20")

      • Facility Record ("30")

        Different facilities within the same borrower record

    • Borrower Footer Record ("21")

      Repeat the above structure for different borrowers with in the same Common Risk record

  • Common Risk Footer ("11")

    Repeat the above structure for different Common Risk records

• Footer Record ("99")

2.4. Record Field Order

The order of the fields in a record must be the same as the order they are specified in the following record layouts (sections 2.5 to 2.11). Field values must be formatted as specified in the record layouts.

2.5. Header Record (00)

The Header record is a quality control mechanism that uniquely identifies each file sent to OSFI (i.e. who sent the file, the reporting date, the file name, etc). The information contained in the Header field is checked against the file name and the actual details of the file to ensure that the file received by OSFI has not been corrupted.

The record layout of the Header is detailed below:

2.6. Common Risk Record (10)

The record layout of the Common Risk is detailed as follows:

2.7. Borrower Record (20)

The record layout of the Borrower is detailed below:

2.8. Facility Record (30)

The record layout of the Facility is detailed below:

2.9. Borrower Footer Record (21)

The record layout of the Borrower footer is detailed below:

2.10. Common Risk Footer Record (11)

The record layout of the Common Risk footer is detailed below:

2.11. Footer Record (99)

The record layout of the Footer is detailed below:

2.12. Additional Important Notes

• All dates are to be reported according to the following format: YYYYMMDD Where, YYYY represents the year, MM represents the month and DD represents the day. E.g. "19990105" represents January 5, 1999. All non-mandatory dates that cannot be provided should be zeroes.
• All percentages and dollar amount fields are to be rounded to the nearest percent/dollar; in other words, no decimal digits should be reported.
• The sequential row counter field that appears in every record must start at "00000001" in the header record and be incremented by 1 in every row. Therefore, the footer will show the total number of records in the file.

3. Data Validation Rules

3.1. Error Handling

The error handling philosophy is to trap the maximum number of possible errors and warnings. The file will be entirely rejected if errors are detected, and no data will be uploaded to the database. Warnings are exceptions that will not stop the database from accepting the file.

Processing of the file will proceed as detailed below:

3.1.1. Pre-processing Checks

Pre-processing is performed to ensure that the extract files received are formatted correctly, and that the header and footer records match the actual contents of the file. A program checks extract files for header and formatting errors. The following pre-processing checks are made:

• Each record in the file has a valid record type (00, 10, 20, 30, 21, 11, 99).
• Each record in the file is 368 byte long plus 2 ASCII characters (Carriage Return and Line Feed).
• Each record has the correct number of fields for its record type.
• Each record has a sequential counter that starts at 00000001 at the header record and is incremented by 1 in each record in the file.
• The name of the file exactly matches the information of the Header and Footer records.
• The extension of the file is .DAT.
• The institution ID in the file name, header and footer records is a valid Bank of Canada code (provided by OSFI).
• The 4th field of the Header and Footer records must be a valid file type ("RAPCORP").

3.1.2. Data Hierarchy Checks

• Each Facility record must have a Borrower record and each Borrower record must have a Common Risk record.
• Each Common Risk header record must have a matching Common Risk footer record. Similarly, each Borrower header record must have a matching Borrower footer record.
• Each Common Risk must have a unique combination of record type ("10") and Common Risk number as highlighted on section 2.6 and 2.10 of this document.
• Each Borrower must have a unique combination of record type, ("20") Common Risk number and Borrower number as highlighted on section 2.7 and 2.9 of this document.
• Each Facility must have a unique combination of record type ("30"), Common Risk number, Borrower number, Facility number and primary facility type as highlighted on section 2.8 of this document.
• The total number of borrowers in the Common Risk footer must match the count of Borrower records with the same Common Risk number.
• The total number of facilities in the Borrower footer must match the actual count of Facility records with the same Common Risk and Borrower number.

3.1.3. Field Value Checking

Field value checking ensures that a field has valid values as specified in the RAPID Data Field Definitions, Version 2.02.

3.2. Business Rules

The term "business rules" usually refers to a set of conditions that can be used to determine the validity of data. Each rule specifies criteria that certain data elements (or a number of elements) have to meet to be valid. Business rules are used in the RAPID context to identity data that has potentially been entered incorrectly. Sending these records back to the Financial Institutions for correction leads to greater integrity of information in Risk Asset Portfolios.

3.2.1. Industry Classification Codes

OSFI will validate the submitted NAICS codes (ID #19) against Industry Classification lookup tables provided by Statistics Canada. The submitted code will be rejected if it does not exist in the appropriate table.

3.2.2. Countries

Country codes (ID #s 9, 21, 37 and 38) will be validated against International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards (ISO# 3166-1).

3.2.3. Currencies

Currency codes (ID #41) will be validated against ISO standards (ISO# 4217). Pre-euro currencies and other old currencies are still used and will be accepted.

3.2.4. Province/State (Warning)

If the country (ID #21) is Canada or USA, province or state (ID #22) data will be validated against the last two (2) characters of the ISO# 3166-2 standard.

3.2.5. Dollar Amounts

For the following validation rules, thresholds have been established to account for acceptable levels of data inconsistencies, including rounding errors:

• Each Common Risk total authorized (ID #6) must be equal to or greater than $10 Million. Otherwise, an error will occur.
• Negative values should be reported with the hyphen sign before the first 'meaningful' digit, in other words report the negative number left-padded with zeros. For example, 000000000073654 and 0000000-7900000 are valid 15 character numeric values representing 73,654 and -7,900,000, respectively.
• Each Facility authorized in Canadian dollars (ID #44) must not exceed its Borrower authorized (ID #15) by more than 1% of Borrower authorized. Otherwise, an error will occur. Differences of less than 1% will be shown as warnings.
• Each Borrower authorized in Canadian dollars (ID #15) must not exceed its Common Risk authorized (ID #6) by more than 1% of Common Risk authorized. Otherwise, an error will occur. Differences of less than 1% will be shown as warnings.
• On a portfolio-wide basis, total potential exposure at the Common Risk level (ID #7) must not exceed total Common Risk authorized (ID #6) by more than 10% of total Common Risk authorized. Otherwise, an error will occur.
• On a portfolio-wide basis, total potential exposure at the Borrower level (ID #16) must not exceed total Borrower authorized (ID #15) by more than 10% of total Borrower authorized. Otherwise, an error will occur.
• On a portfolio-wide basis, total potential exposure at the Facility level (ID #45) must not exceed total Facility authorized (ID #44) by more than 10% of total Facility authorized. Otherwise, an error will occur.
• On a portfolio-wide basis, total outstanding at the Borrower level (ID #17) must not exceed total Common Risk authorized (ID #6) by more than 10% of total Common Risk authorized. Otherwise, an error will occur. Differences of less than 10% will be shown as warnings.
• On a portfolio-wide basis, total outstanding at the Facility level (ID #46) must not exceed total Borrower authorized (ID #15) by more than 10% of total Borrower authorized. Otherwise, an error will occur. Differences of less than 10% will be shown as warnings.
• The Common Risk outstanding (ID #8) must not differ from the sum of all its Borrowers' outstanding beyond the range of +/- 1% of common risk outstanding. Otherwise, an error will occur. Discrepancies within the +/- 1% range will be shown as warnings.
• The Borrower outstanding (ID #17) must not differ from the sum of all its Facilities' outstanding beyond the range of +/- 1% of Borrower outstanding. Otherwise, an error will occur. Discrepancies within the +/- 1% range will be shown as warnings.
• If a Common Risk has only 1 Borrower, the Common Risk authorized (ID #6) must be greater than or equal to its Borrower authorized (ID #15). Otherwise, an error will occur. This validation rule does not have a threshold for data inconsistencies.
• If a borrower has only 1 Facility, the Borrower authorized (ID #15) must be greater than or equal to its Facility authorized in Canadian dollars (ID #44). Otherwise, an error will occur. This validation rule does not have a threshold for data inconsistencies.

• For facilities with the same Common Risk ID (ID #3), Borrower ID (ID #10), and Facility ID (ID #34), they must have:

  • The same Facility risk rating (ID #40)
  • The same Facility total authorized (ID #42)
  • The same Facility total outstanding (ID #43)
  • The same Facility total authorized - CAD equivalent (ID #44)
  • The same Facility total outstanding - CAD equivalent (ID #46)
  • The same Allowance for Expected Credit Losses (ID #66)
  • The same write-offs (ID #67)
  • The same recoveries (ID #69)

  Otherwise, an error will occur.

• Warnings are issued if:
  • Common Risk potential exposure (ID #7) is greater than Common Risk authorized (ID #6)
  • Borrower potential exposure (ID #16) is greater than Borrower authorized (ID #15)
  • Facility potential exposure (ID #45) is greater than Facility authorized (ID #44)
  • A Borrower individual allowance (ID #29) is less than the sum of all its Facilities' individual allowance (ID #66)
  • A Common Risk authorized (ID #6) is less than the sum of all its Borrowers' outstanding (ID #17)
  • A Borrower authorized (ID #15) is less than the sum of all its Facilities' outstanding (ID #46)

3.2.6. Borrower Risk Rating

Borrower risk rating (ID #14) will be validated against the list of Borrower risk ratings provided by the Financial Institutions as stated in note #8 of the RAPID Data Field Definitions, Version 2.02.

3.2.7. Foreign Currency Check (Warning)

If facility currency (ID #41) is not "CAD", then

• Facility total authorized (ID #42) should not equal Facility total authorized CAD equivalent (ID #44)
• Facility total outstanding (ID #43) should not equal Facility total outstanding CAD equivalent (ID #46)

Otherwise, a warning will occur.

3.2.8. Notional Amounts

If the Primary Facility Type (ID #35) is a not trading line, then Notional Amount Authorized (ID #106) must be equal to Facility Total Authorized (ID# 42), and Notional Amount Outstanding (ID #107) must be equal to Facility Total Outstanding (ID# 43). Otherwise, an error will occur.

The following codes from Table A in the RAPID Data Field Definitions, Version 2.02 document are trading lines:

• 08: Derivative - FX, Futures, Interest/Cross Currency Swap
• 09: Derivative - Credit
• 10: Derivative - Other
• 13: Other off-balance sheet facilities
• 18: Other trading facility

3.2.9. Other Business Validation Rules

The submitted value for certain fields must come from a set of pre-defined options specified in the RAPID Data Field Definitions, Version 2.02. The submission of a value outside of the pre-defined set will cause rejection of the data file. The RAPID Data Field Definitions, Version 2.02 specifies options for the following fields:

• File Processing Instruction (ID #100)
• Watch List (ID #25)
• Impairment Status (ID #109)
• Primary Facility Type (ID #35)
• Exposure Type (ID #49)
• Shared And/Or Linked Facility (ID #50)
• Facility Status (ID #56)
• Primary Collateral (ID #62)
• Seniority Profile (ID #63)
• Participated Facilities (ID #64)
• Syndicate Role (ID #65)
• IFRS 9 Stage of Exposure

3.3. Optional Versus Mandatory Data Elements

Where data points are cited as "optional", this is to accommodate instances where the data point may not exist for all Financial Institutions. If, however, a Financial Institution has the data for an "optional" field, the data must be reported in the return.

Mandatory fields are data points that must be reported by all Financial Institutions. Otherwise, the data will be rejected.

3.4. Error Report

If any of these validation checks fail, an Error Report will be created and the input file will be rejected. The contents of the Error Report will vary depending upon the types of errors found in the input file. This report will have enough information to help troubleshoot and correct the inconsistencies. However, if the Error Report contains only Warnings, the input file will be accepted by OSFI. Please, note that you are still required to correct the erroneous/inconsistent data (in other words to eliminate the 'warnings') for the following data submission.

This report will be e-mailed to the Financial Institution in question indicating whether or not the file was successfully uploaded in the database. If problems were detected, the error report will be attached to this e-mail including both 'errors' and 'warnings'.
