<p>Vineet: </p> <hr /> <div>{{Project<br /> |Has title=VentureXpert Database<br /> |Has owner=Vineet Anne, Khai Nguyen,<br /> |Has project status=Active<br /> }}<br /> The purpose of this project is to create a new, updated database of venture capital deals, portfolio companies, funds and firms, including information on exits, executives, and other events and entities, called '''vcdb4'''. The old [[VentureXpert Data]] project created the database '''vcdb3'''. Data is retrieved using [[SDC Platinum]], for which we have a license.<br /> <br /> ==Updating data from vcdb4==<br /> <br /> Using the Researcher RDP account:<br /> #Go to: E:\mcnair\Projects\VentureXpert Database\ScriptsForSDCExtract\ and copy all necessary files (for each of them, download the txt, the ssh and the rpt file) to E:\projects\vcdb4.<br /> #Open SDC Platinum, input the initial, and create a project description.<br /> #Open the ssh file in SDC Platinum and save it as a new file for updating (do not overwrite the old file).<br /> #Right-click on the line with the date, and modify to the most current date.<br /> #Delete the line that generates the report.<br /> #Click the Report tab on top to generate a Custom Report. Refer to the txt document of the pre-upload session for the metrics that need to be collected.<br /> #Click OK, OK and then No in response to the window that pops up.<br /> #A window should now pop up with the option &quot;Save As&quot;. Use that option to save the report as a txt file in the same vcdb4 folder.<br /> #Click Execute to generate a rpt file and a txt file for the now-updated session in the vcdb4 folder. This will take some time. Exit the session when it was done (make sure it is saved).<br /> #Go to the vcdb4 folder, open the txt file, scroll down to the bottom to delete the footer. Save the footer-less txt document as a new file. <br /> #Move everything related to the updated session (ssh, rpt, txt, txt with no footer) to the updated file (all current updated files are in there).<br /> <br /> Notes from Ed: I'm not sure about steps 5 and 6! There is no need to remake the report manually. You can use the old report by editing the .ssh file directly to correct the path before loading it, or you can load the existing report inside of SDC once the session is loaded.<br /> <br /> ==After updating all files through SDC, clean up the Data==<br /> # Download the data from SDC. <br /> # Cut off the footers and run it through Normalizer.pl. <br /> # Load it into a PostgreSQL database, cleaning it as needed. <br /> # Process it in SQL and using Matcher.pl to find IPOs and M&amp;As for VC backed firms, etc.<br /> <br /> <br /> April 30th: <br /> ===Current Work===<br /> <br /> #Files Pulled from Old McNair Files: <br /> *USVCFirms1980-present2019<br /> *USVCFunds1980-present2019<br /> *USVCPortCos1980-present2019<br /> *IPO1980-present <br /> *MA1980-2018q2-updated <br /> <br /> #Files we have not pulled/need help processing: <br /> *USCompanyLongDescription1980-present<br /> *VCFirmsLongDescription<br /> *USVCRound1980-present - This is the Round-On-One-Line pull.

<p>Vineet: </p> <hr /> <div>{{Project<br /> |Has title=VentureXpert Database<br /> |Has owner=Vineet Anne, Khai Nguyen,<br /> |Has project status=Active<br /> }}<br /> The purpose of this project is to create a new, updated database of venture capital deals, portfolio companies, funds and firms, including information on exits, executives, and other events and entities, called '''vcdb4'''. The old [[VentureXpert Data]] project created the database '''vcdb3'''.

Refer to the txt document of the pre-upload session for the metrics that need to be collected.<br /> #Click OK, OK and then No in response to the window that pops up.<br /> #A window should now pop up with the option &quot;Save As&quot;. Use that option to save the report as a txt file in the same vcdb4 folder.<br /> #Click Execute to generate a rpt file and a txt file for the now-updated session in the vcdb4 folder. This will take some time. Exit the session when it was done (make sure it is saved).<br /> #Go to the vcdb4 folder, open the txt file, scroll down to the bottom to delete the footer.
