Touchstone 11.0 API Reference
IgnoreInvalidConstructionOccupancyCode Property


Air.Services.Proxy Assembly > AIR.Services.LossAnalysis.Data Namespace > DetailedLossAnalysisOptions Class : IgnoreInvalidConstructionOccupancyCode Property
(Optional) Indicates whether Touchstone® should ignore invalid construction/occupancy pairs in the Exposure data during this Detailed Loss Analysis.
Syntax
Public Property IgnoreInvalidConstructionOccupancyCode As Boolean
Dim instance As DetailedLossAnalysisOptions
Dim value As Boolean
 
instance.IgnoreInvalidConstructionOccupancyCode = value
 
value = instance.IgnoreInvalidConstructionOccupancyCode
public bool IgnoreInvalidConstructionOccupancyCode {get; set;}
Remarks
Construction and occupancy codes are included in Location-level exposure data. The loss analysis engine uses the codes to determine which damage functions to apply for each Location. Therefore, it is important for the engine to use the correct set or pair of codes.

Note: AIR ImportExpress™ does not validate construction/occupancy pairs during import. Even if a pair is invalid for a region, ImportExpress passes the codes to the Database. However, ImportExpress does validate individual construction and occupancy codes against valid AIR-supported codes and does not import Locations with invalid codes. The rejection file for the import contains information about the Locations that were not imported. ImportExpress validates individual construction and occupancy codes for a country/region. If a code is invalid, ImportExpress imports the Locations with the invalid codes and enters a warning in the Import log.

You can configure the loss analysis engine to behave in either of the following ways when it encounters an invalid construction/occupancy pair in the exposure data:

Behavior Description
True (Ignore) The loss engine omits from the analysis all locations that have construction and occupancy combinations that are invalid based on region/country, model, and/or peril. In this case, Touchstone does not produce loss for these Locations. To identify Locations that were not included in a loss analysis, check the analysis log.
False (Use System Default) During the loss analysis, Touchstone remaps invalid construction and occupancy code combinations using one or more of the following construction and occupancy class codes, as applicable:
  • Unknown construction (100)
  • General commercial occupancy (311)
Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
