The import_tools command imports new or updated data into existing tables in the PolicyCenter database. You can only import data for valid entities or their subtypes. PolicyCenter supports this command for importing administrative data but not for importing other data into PolicyCenter.

Note: PolicyCenter does not fire any events related to the data you add or modify through this command. PolicyCenter does not throw concurrent data change exceptions if the imported records overwrite existing records in the database.

Data that you import into PolicyCenter through the use of import_tools is immediately available. You do not need to restart the PolicyCenter server for the changes to take effect.

Important notes

  1. Guidewire supports using the import_tools command to import administrative data only.
  2. The MaximumFileUploadSize parameter in config.xml must exceed the size of any file that you attempt to import. The MaximumFileUploadSize parameter value is in megabytes (MB). The base configuration default value of MaximumFileUploadSize is 20 MB.
