Usage:
The CDS ACTIVITY DATE is validated by the Secondary Uses Service and Commissioning Data Set Interchanges are rejected if the date is not present, invalid or not compatible with the Commissioning Data Set Submission Protocol controls being used.
In particular, when using the Commissioning Data Set Bulk Replacement Update Mechanism, the CDS ACTIVITY DATE and its "CDS Originating Date" are used by the Secondary Uses Service to validate that the CDS Type date applicability falls within the CDS REPORT PERIOD START DATE and the CDS REPORT PERIOD END DATE.
