Comply News

Microsoft is ending support for SQL 2008 and RATA is following suit. Comply 18.1 is the last Comply update that will work with SQL 2008. There are features needed for ongoing development that are only available in SQL 2012 and higher so this move is a necessity. We stopped supporting new installations using SQL 2008 with the release of Comply 17 but we have allowed updates to still use the deprecated version of SQL Server. As far as we know, most, if not all of our clients, have migrated to SQL 2012 or higher. If you are one of the few remaining die-hards, please begin preparations to migrate to a newer SQL Server environment at your earliest convenience. Contact us at (407) 831-7282 if you have any questions or need additional information.

Comply 18.1 is now available for download from the RATA Support site. This version incorporates all of the earlier 17 and 18 updates along with other beneficial changes. If you have updated to 18.01 this release is not needed for submission.  However, if you can update it wouldn't hurt.  Every version of Comply is always a little better than the previous.  If you are updating from 18.00 or 18.01 this update should be just a normal update because all of the 18 updates conversions have already been done.  If you are updating from a Comply 17 system please read all of the important Comply 18 update info below because this update will run all of the 18 updates as well. If you have questions please call. Check the changes document to see a list of all changes to decide the…

Overall the conversions from Comply 17 to Comply 18 have been very smooth. As we mentioned in the changes document and the download of Comply 18, this update performs some major transformations to the way Fair Lending data is stored, accessed and displayed. We tried to test for all permutations, but there are too many to try and duplicate. Most of the conversions have gone well but we have just been made aware of a scenario that is not converting correctly. If you have multiple period reviews with multiple workspaces under a single Reporting Entity, in certain circumstances these are not being named correctly and they are linking to incorrect data sets. Simply renaming the workspaces will not correct the issue. If you have run the update and this scenario affects your data, do not panic.…

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's (FDIC) survey of branch office deposits, as of June 30, 2018 for all FDIC-insured institutions, has been converted and released for Comply users. The Summary of Deposits (SOD) annually provides deposit totals for each of the more than 88,000 domestic offices operated by more than 5,500 FDIC-insured commercial and savings banks, savings associations, and U.S. branches of foreign banks.

In DataMine, users can locate branch offices in a particular geographic area and organize by tract income level for example.

RATA recently became aware of an issue with five demographic fields not being populated correctly when the FFIEC data was combined with the Community Development Financial Institutions and Federal Housing Finance Agency data for years 2010 to present. While these fields are seldom used by the majority of our clients, the fact that they were not properly updated necessitated that we correct the data and provide it to clients so that the correct information is available to you in the event you ever decide to utilize it.  The affected fields are as follows:  Investment Area Qualification (CDFI Investment Area Qualification),  New Markets Tax Credit Qualification (CDFI New Market Tax Credit Qualification) Low-Income Area (FHFA LYA) Difficult Development Area (FHFA DDA) …
