Touchstone 11.0 API Reference
Review requests for the NGM Financial Engine
Reference > Requests as XML > Review requests for the NGM Financial Engine

At the minimum, consider reviewing the following requests to ensure that your requests are compatible with the updated financial engine:

Inputs Detailed loss / Loss Modification analyses / Loss Export Import / Hazard / Loss Groupings / Marginal Impact / Geospatial Requests
Minimum and Maximum Cores

(Optional) Minimum Cores = Two

(Optional) Maximum Cores = Multiples of two

The existing requests with odd cores will run "as is". The public internal validation will round the odd cores as follows:

For core count equals one : the validation rounds to two cores.

For core count equals three, five, and seven : the validation rounds down to the nearest even cores.

Review the existing templates:

  • Identify templates that has Minimum Cores = one.
  • Identify templates that has Minimum or Maximum Cores = odd numbers. 
  • Consider rounding up to next even number for any core assignments that has an odd number greater than one.

(Optional) Minimum Core = One

(Optional) Maximum Core = One

These analyses require extensive SQL operations, which take 1:1 ratio of cores.

Review the existing templates:

  • Identify the existing templates that has Minimum Cores = one.
  • Evaluate possible impact on running requests.
  • Add more cores to prevent performance implications in Touchstone.
