If the Activity has completed or failed, this method returns the path to the log file. If the Activity has not yet completed, then no log file is available. In this case, the software returns a Token ID that you can pass into this method in a subsequent method call to retrieve the relevant log file.

Activity file templates are files that contain headings under which data about a specified Activity is collected. All Activities produce an Operational Log. Other types of activities produce additional files based on other templates. For example, an Import Activity might produce files based on the following templates:

• Operational Log.template
• Import Log.template
• Detailed Import Log.template
• Rejection File ACORD.xls.template
• Rejection File Contract CSV.csv.template
• Rejection File Location CSV.csv.template
• Rejection File Reinsurance CSV.csv.template
• Rejection File StepFunction CSV.csv.template
• Rejection File UFX.ufx.template
• Rejection File UPX.upx.template

The Operational Log tracks the status of an Activity from start to finish. The Import Business Log tracks errors, exceptions, business errors, and other statistics related to an Import Activity. The rejection files contain records that the application cannot import due to errors. The user can fix these errors and import the corrected data into the software without reimporting all of the data again.

The template files do not contain the data itself; they contain the headings used to group the data when the software writes it to the Log or Rejection files.

1. Data Errors: Provides granular validation error messages with the error code for each contract, location, reinsurance, and the corresponding error message description.
2. Error Summary: Provides aggregate summary of the Data Errors with the total count of errors, Business errors, Reinsurance errors, and Data errors (location-wise).
3. Import Statistics: Provides detailed log of the import activity including general statistics, geocoding statistics, summary of the user-provided geocode match level mapping sets, and summary of the imported and not imported records at various levels such as contract, location location details, sublimits, layers, treaty, facultative, and location groups.
4. Options: Provides import configuration options such as header information, data source information, and the imported log details.

You can use the validation messages file in many ways, for example:

• Integrate with programs to automate error handling when importing exposures into Touchstone.
• Evaluate and improve the quality of exposures before importing into Touchstone.
• Integrate with an external software for reporting errors in the Data Import operation.

You can use the SubmitDeleteActivities method in the Activity Management Namespace to input unique sequential identifiers associated with activities that you want to delete. Then submit a request using the SubmitDeleteActivitiesRequest class to delete several activities at once.
