Additional Information
You must perform appropriate data mapping setups on the target schedule sheet. This includes mapping Unifier Schedule Sheet columns to Primavera XML elements and setting appropriate XML Import options. Only elements that are mapped will be copied.
This method can only be used to create new activities not for updating existing activities.
If invoked on an empty schedule sheet, this method will insert activities into the schedule sheet. If invoked on a non-empty schedule sheet, it will overwrite all existing activities (delete and recreate) in the non-empty schedule sheet if this function is allowed in the data mapping setup.
If the method is called on a non-empty schedule sheet and the data mapping setup does not allow overwrite, the method will return an error in the response.
This service can be used for Projects/Shells of cost code type CBS.
Activity identified with this creation method will be the globally unique identifier (GUID).
Data Mapping Marked as default will be used.
