SubmitImportCompanies Method

Submits a request to import one or more Touchstone Re companies.

When you export one or more companies in Touchstone Re, the application produces a set of files that includes all the data associated with the companies, for example, company names, reinsurance program information, exposure data, and company loss data. Company loss data may include company loss files (CLFs), detailed loss files (DLFs), and company loss associations (CLAs), which are losses from the Touchstone application that are stored on the AIRCompanyLoss database. You can then import the files into any Touchstone Re environment.

If you attempt to import a company that has the same name as an existing company in the environment, Touchstone Re appends an underscore and a number to the name, for example, CompanyName_1.

When submitting the request, you specify the path to the company (.cmp) file that contains the company data to import.
