  • Latest EWO (Equities/Warrants/Options) Distribution Profile last updated: 01/08/2007. Please read instruction below before clicking on this link - right click here
     
  • After right clicking on the "Right Click Here" link above a pop up window will appear on your screen, from this menu please select "Save Target AS"  This will produce a new window titled "Save AS".  In the "Save AS" window it is essential that you set the "Save In" drop down menu to the correct location as outlined here and that the "Save as type" option be set to either All files or  .ptddf Document. Do not set Save as type to .txt as this will render the downloaded file unreadable by DD2
     
  • All ASX EWO users please note you will need to change "Maximum Securities per Folder" from 2000 to 6000 as there are currently over 2000 Equities (see image below)

DataDirector 2 now has the ability to download and update the Paritech EWO
distribution profile with the press of a single button!

Before you can use this new feature, you need to make a few changes to your Distribution Profile setup:

First you need to download the most current profile in to your Distribution Profile folder.  Even if you have the most current, please check that the filename is "WizDL-EquitiesWarrantsOptions-ASX".  If it is not, then you need to download it.

  1. If you know your Distribution Profile is the correct one, you can skip to step 2

    Start DataDirector2 and highlight your EWO Wizard

    Now press the "Setup" button, and tick the box marked "Expert User" and press OK

    All graphics are for illustration purposes only

    You will now see that DataDirector 2 has 4 buttons in the bottom right corner, make sure that your EWO wizard is still highlighted and press the "Properties" button.

    Once the Properties screen comes up, please change to the Distribution Profile tab and check the "Distribution List" field for the filename.

    If the Distribution List is not set to "WizDL-EquitiesWarrantsOptions-ASX", then you need to follow the steps "Updating the EWO List" below
     

  2. Now that you have confirmed you have the correct Distribution List, you need to fill in the correct details in to the "Url" field.  You can do this by coping and pasting the following address in to the "Url" field.

    http://www.paritech.com.au/support/datadirector/WizDL-EquitiesWarrantsOptions-ASX.ptddf

  3. Once the address is entered, you should now press the OK button, to save the changes.
     

  4. Each month as Paritech produces the new Distribution List, all you will need to do is go back to the "Distribution Profile" tab of your wizard, and press the "Now" button.  This will download the current file list to your computer, thus giving you the most current list Paritech has on offer.  Unless you get an error message, consider that the download and update has worked.
     

  5. It is recommended that you delete your EWO database each time you update the Distribution List to give you a clean setup.

PLEASE NOTE: ANY CHANGES YOU PERSONALLY MAKE TO THis DISTRIBUTION PROFILE WILL BE LOST WHEN YOU DO THE UPDATE.  IF YOU HAS CUSTOMISED THE STANDARD EWO LIST, PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS SETUP PROCEDURE.


To update the EWO folder you will need to do the following:

  1. Open DataDirector2 (DD2) and click on the Setup icon at the top of the window and then the File Locations tab
     
  2. Write down the path that appears to the right of the words Distribution Profile.  It will usually appear as follows :

    If you have Windows 98 or ME
    C:\Windows\Application Data\Paritech\DataDirector2\Distribution Profiles.

    If you have Windows 2000 or XP
    c:\Documents & Settings\[Your Windows User Profile]\Application Data\Paritech\DataDirector2\Distribution Profiles.

  4. You will see a Click here link at the top of the window.  Click on this with your right mouse button
     
  5. Select the option Save Target As from the pop-up menu that appears
     
  6. In the dialog box that appears you will need to set the download path to the directory you recorded from DD2, in step 2 of this instruction guide.  The last folder in this path should be named Distribution profiles.

  8. Open DD2 and click on the words ASX EWO that appear on the right side of the window so that it is highlighted.  Click on the Properties button at the bottom right of the DD2 window
     
  9. Click on the Distribution Profile tab at the top of the window, and then click on the drop list under the words Distribution List at the bottom of this tab.  Select the file that you have just downloaded.  It will be named WizDL-EquitiesWarrantsOptions-ASX.  Click the OK button at the bottom right of the window
     
  10. Since you have now updated the profile, you must delete you old EWO database before you copy your historical data back to this folder to update that database.  You will find instruction on this process at the following link :
