About exporting PolicyCenter administrative data

You can export administrative data directly from within PolicyCenter by using the Export Data screen available to PolicyCenter administrators. It is possible to export XML-formatted administrative data only.

To access the Export Data screen, navigate to the following location in Guidewire PolicyCenter:
  • Administration > Utilities > Export Data

It is possible to export the following data sets independently:

  • Admin
  • Roles
  • Policy Form Patterns
  • Lookup Table Definitions
  • Policy Holds
  • Underwriter Issue Types
Important: If a particular data set is not on the export list, you cannot export the data using this function.

Exporting user data

PolicyCenter handles the export of user data differently between development and production systems.
Server mode User export data
Development mode The export file contains usernames and the associated passwords in hash code format.
Production mode The export process strips both username and password information from the export file.
Notes
  1. During export or import of users and groups, PolicyCenter also exports or imports any entities referenced by a User or UserRole object through a foreign key or array.
  2. It is not possible to import a previously exported data file from a production environment back into PolicyCenter as it does not contain the required username/password data.
