Data change command tool reference
Warning: Only use the Production Data Fix tool under extraordinary conditions,
with great caution, and upon advice of Guidewire Support. Before registering a data change
on a production server, register and run the data change on a development server.
Guidewire recommends multiple people review and test the code and the results before
attempting the data change on a production server.
PolicyCenter provides a tightly constrained system for updating data on a running production server. Guidewire calls this mechanism the Production Data Fix tool. The Production Data Fix tool uses either the data_change command option, or, the DataChangeAPI web service to make changes to the production data.
Because the data_change command allows arbitrary execution of data, Guidewire strongly recommends that you carefully control the ability to create and run code on a production server. The user who runs this command must have permission wsdatachangeedit.
