No accurancy, waranty or suitability for purpose is implied for data supplied. CONTENTS A. FILE LIST B. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS C. TECHNICAL SUPPORT D. KNOWN ISSUES AND WORKAROUNDS E. TIPS and TECHNIQUES F. USAGE STEPS A. FILE LIST The following file list and its descendants consists of data and doc files only that usually install to either the C:\Chartboard or C:\ProgramData\Chartboard folders. Alternatively use C:\Users\\Chartboard the folder for a more private non shared destination. The folder structure can be quiet deep with long file paths A.1 CBDatastore folder and descendant structure CBDatastore.Msgracbs - Main Chartboard datastore folder and recursive Windows file structure Each stock dataset ultimately maps to its own unique disk file Above folder and descendant files form a graphic type memory mapped data structure that is proprietary to the Chartboard application. Folder and its contents may be backed up or copied to an alternative location in its entirety. The CBDatastore contains an extensive list of stocks from the ASX Market, some commodities, Bitcoin and Indices (S&P500, DJIA). Other markets and stocks can be added and updated as required.

Chartboard datasets accumulate in the mapped memory file and need to be periodically released via the Flush item from the appropriate CBDatastore explorer context menus. E. TIPS and TECHNIQUES Common tips and techniques . Download this sample or starter CBDatastore from data download page and deploy to the desired location. Should a previous version exist at that location it will be overwritten hence its best to either delete or rename existing version before deployment. . Support for legacy PDStore's has been dropped in later post 2.0.00 versions Individual Datasets may be manually copied from PDStore's to CBDatastore's. . Chartboard is shipped with a SampleDatastore.Msgracbs that forms a sub-set of this CBDatastore.Msgracbs Both share the same internal root name and as such cannot be attached in parallel to the Chartboard application. The allocated root name can be changed for an attached Datastore, but any Chart dependant dataset pathnames will also require equivalent change. This CBDatastore is intended to be a super-set of and displace the version shipped with Chartboard. . Attach this CBDatastore to workspace via the Ribbon Bar >> WS Attachments tab >> Datastore Panel >> Attach... button. There after the Chartboard Workspace remembers the attachment and will automatically re-load it at startup. . Chartboard maintains separate folder structure for Datastores, Portfolios, Models and Python ScriptMaps. . CBDatastore's exist as mapped heirachical directory structures exclusively maintained through Chartboard. Dependending on the number of markets and stocks for which data is collated disk requirements may extend to terabytes. However, Chartboard only demand maps those stocks needed for immediate use and that may extend to gigabytes. It is recomended that the Flush item from the Datastore explorer context menus be periodically used to reduce memory consumption. . All items in the Datastore explorer support context menu's. Use right mouse click to bring up any such context menu. Also each item supports its own Properties Grid to actively manage and display configuration parameters. . CBDatastore content is maintained and/or extended through the Chartboard application from End-of-Day data suppliers such as www.comsec.au Periodically this CBDatastore and contents will be refreshed on the Ivyware web site. . Internally the CBDatastore has been allocated the root name "CBa". Multiple datastore attachments with unique root names are supported. . CBDatastores should be backed up regularly by copying the *.Msgracbs folder(s) to separate location on your network or an external drive. . Trade data can be imported into CBDatastores on a single security basis or single day updates for multiple securities. Folders can be nominated for auto update of such files after download. Refer {Configuration...} menu item for relevant Country-Market for further details. . New stocks can be added to the relevant Country-Market as required. F. USAGE STEPS Observe the following steps when downloading the CBDatastore.exe file . Download CBDatastore.exe file . Rename or delete previously downloaded CBDatastore.Msgracbs datastore. This may require Chartboard to be shutdown if in use. . Run CBDatastore-3.n.nn.exe and deploy CBDatastore.Msgracbs folder to your desired location, usually C:\Chartboard or C:\ProgramData\Chartboard Copyright © 2019-24 Ivyware Pty Ltd. --- End of document
