Verifying the external configuration

Guidewire provides a gwb build command that you can use to verify your externalized server configuration. Use the following syntax at a command prompt to execute the command:

  • gwb verifyExtConfig
This command generates a report that includes the following types of information:
  • The number of files affected
  • The number of substitutions involved
  • The status of plugin ExternalConfigurationProviderPlugin if disabled
Running the verifyExtConfig command generates a report similar to the following text, if there are no issues with the externalized server configuration:
  • Verification results: 14 key substitutions would occur in 3 files.

Path to the substitution file

Notice in the gwb verifyExtConfig command that you do not specify a path to the substitution file. Instead, you set the path to the external substitution file as you start the application server, for example:
  • gwb runServer -Dgw.config.external.property.file="C:cc10_1853\modules\configuration\etc\ext-properties.properties"
