Marginal impact analysis

Enhancements for marginal Impact analysis in Touchstone.

This enhancement streamlines the import and export of administrative boundaries and marginal impact boundary peril templates in Touchstone.

Enhancements

This release includes the following enhancements:

  • Support for exporting and importing Marginal Impact Boundary Peril templates via both the Administration Console in the Touchstone user interface and our Object Management public API services.
  • Support for importing and exporting administration boundaries for the Marginal Impact Boundary Peril objects.

Import administrative boundaries

You can import a new administrative boundary into the target BU or a Touchstone environment using a new SubmitImportAdminBoundary method. This method enables you to propagate administrative boundaries between business units within a single Touchstone environment or between different Touchstone environments. The new SubmitImportAdminBoundaryRequest class includes the following property:

Table 1. Updated AIR.Services.ObjectManagement.API namespace
Property Type Description
ImportOptions ImportOptions <ObjectImportOptions> (Required) Contains the admin boundary details that you want to import
The ObjectImportOptions sub-class contains the directory path to the file containing the imported administrative boundaries.
Table 2. Updated AIR.Services.ObjectManagement.API namespace
Property Type Description
FilePath String (Required) Contains the UNC and local path to the file containing the admin boundaries you want to import
The SubmitImportAdminBoundaryResponse class returns a SubmitImportObjectResultInfo sub-class containing the admin boundary objects such as the object SID, admin boundary name, and the target SID where you want to place the imported admin boundary file.

Export administrative boundaries

You can export administrative boundaries using a new SubmitExportAdminBoundary method. The new SubmitExportAdminBoundaryRequest class lets you configure the input options such as the admin boundary object and file path where you want to store the exported admin boundaries.

Table 3. Updated AIR.Services.ObjectManagement.API namespace
Property Type Description
ExportOptions ObjectExportOptions <ExportOptions> (Required) Contains the admin boundary details that you want to export into other BUs or Touchstone environments
The SubmitExportAdminBoundaryResponse class returns a new SubmitExportObjectResultInfo sub-class containing the exported admin boundary objects associated with the template specified in the export request.

Retrieve Object SID for administrative boundaries

You can identify the administrative boundaries using a unique identifier in a marginal impact analysis. We updated the existing GetAdminBoundaries method and GetAdminBoundaries response to include a new Object SID property for each administrative boundary and BU SID.

Import Marginal Impact Boundary Peril templates

You can import a single Marginal Impact Boundary Peril template into Touchstone for each request using a new SubmitImportMarginalImpactBoundaryPerilTemplate method. The SubmitImportMarginalImpactBoundaryPerilRequest class includes the following property:

Table 4. Updated AIR.Services.ObjectManagement.API namespace
Property Type Description
ImportOptions ImportOptions <ObjectImportOptions> (Required) Contains the Marginal Impact Admin Boundary Peril template that you want to import into different BUs and environments
The SubmitImportMarginalImpactBoundaryPerilResponse class returns the SubmitImportObjectResultInfo sub-class. This sub-class stores the imported template.

Export Marginal Impact Boundary Peril templates

We implemented a new SubmitExportMarginalImpactBoundaryPerilTemplate method that allows you to export the existing boundary peril templates into different Touchstone environments or BUs. The new SubmitExportMarginalImpactBoundaryPerilRequest class allows you to configure the export job. This request class stores the Marginal Impact Boundary Peril objects you want to export:

Table 5. Updated AIR.Services.ObjectManagement.API namespace
Property Type Description
ExportOptions ExportOptions <ObjectExportOptions > (Required) Contains the Marginal Impact Admin Boundary Peril template that you want to export into different BUs and environments

Include sub-perils in Marginal impact analyses

You can include sub-perils for each location and run a Marginal impact analysis. We enhanced the existing SubmitMarginalImpactAnalysisRequest class in the AIR.Services.MarginalImpact.API namespace to include the sub-peril codes for each portfolio or contract.
