Lookup, grandfathering, and modifier minmax data

Important: Guidewire specifically does not support adding lookups with a status of Unavailable during a rolling upgrade.

PolicyCenter stores grandfathering and jurisdiction-specific modifier MinMax data in XML files, in Studio directories of the following types under the resources directory:

productmodel/policylinepatterns/LOB/coveragepatterns/*-grandfathering.xml
productmodel/policylinepatterns/LOB/jurisdictions/jurisdiction/coveragepatterns/*-grandfathering.xml
productmodel/policylinepatterns/product/jurisdictions/jurisdiction/*-modifierminmax
productmodel/policylinepatterns/LOB/jurisdictions/jurisdiction/*-modifierminmax

In the file path:

product refers to a specific product, for example, BusinessOwners.
LOB refers to a specific line of business, for example, BOPLine.
jurisdiction refers to the two character state code for the specific jurisdiction to which the file applies, for example, AK for Alaska.
* represents the pattern for which the grandfathering and modifier MinMax file applies, BAComprehensive-grandfathering.xml or PersonalAutoLine-modifierminmax.xml, for example.

Lookup files are all of the form *-lookups.xml, with * as the name of the pattern associated with the lookup, BAComprehensive-lookups.xml, for example. PolicyCenter stores lookup files in multiple directories, in either of the following:

In the same directory as the associated pattern
In the appropriate jurisdiction-specific directory if the lookup is specific to a particular jurisdiction

For example, PolicyCenter stores non-jurisdiction-specific lookup rows for the BAComprehensive coverage pattern (or, any of its child coverage terms and coverage term options) in file BAComprehensive-lookups.xml. PolicyCenter locates this file in the following Studio directory:

proudctmodel/policylinepatterns/LOB/BusinessAutoLine/coveragepatterns

Correspondingly, PolicyCenter stores Alaska-specific lookups for the BAComprehensive coverage in the following directory in Studio:

productmodel/policylinepatterns/BusinessAutoLine/jurisdictions/AK/coveragepatterns

Guidewire supports modifications to the files in these directories in the following ways only:

By adding new lookup, grandfathering, and modifier minmax files to the directory
By adding new lookup and grandfathering elements to existing files

Note: It is not necessary to use product model rolling upgrade to add new lookups or grandfathering availability data. It is possible also to update the PolicyCenter server with this information, as well as update availability scripts, using the Server Tools Reload Availability Data functionality. However, do not attempt to use this functionality during the rolling upgrade itself.
