Using file importfiles.txt to import additional admin data
During server startup, PolicyCenter examines file
importfiles.txt to determine if it lists additional
administrative data files to load. This file exists in the following location in
Guidewire Studio:
In the base configuration, file importfiles.txt contains the name of one file to load, that of nonRenewalExplanationPatterns.csv.
The file format of each file to load must be either CSV or XML. If adding multiple file
names to importfiles.txt:
- List the files in order of data dependencies.
- Ensure that you provide both the file name and the file extension for each file that you add.
Warning: Any file that you name in file importfiles.txt
must exist in the gen folder or
the database upgrade fails.
Import additional admin data at server start
You can add additional file names to file importfiles.txt to load the contents of those files into the database at server start. The files to import must be in either XML or CSV file format. Do not attempt to use SQL commands directly to modify the PolicyCenter operational database tables.
