Construct an XML file for import

About this task

To create a properly formatted XML file of administrative data for import, Guidewire recommends that you perform the following sequence of steps:

Procedure

  1. First, export the current administrative data as an XML file by using the functionality available on the Export Data screen available to PolicyCenter administrators. This screen provides the ability to export various types of administrative data in XML format.
  2. Modify the file to suit your business needs, carefully preserving the XML formatting for administrative data.
  3. Regenerate the XSD files by using the following command in the PolicyCenter installation directory:
    • gwb genImportAdminDataXsd
    It is important to regenerate the XSD files every time that you modify the data model.
  4. Re-import the modified file by using either the import_tools command or the Export Data screen available to PolicyCenter administrators. This screen provides the ability to import administrative data in XML format into PolicyCenter.
