Import security zones

Procedure

  1. Within Guidewire PolicyCenter, navigate to the following location:
    • Administration > Utilities > Export Data
  2. Select Admin from the Data to Export drop-down list, then click Export.
  3. Open the resulting file (admin.xml) for editing.
  4. Review the file for existing security zones (<SecurityZone public-id="...">).

    Pay particular attention to the public-id value for each existing security zone. Any security zone that you add to this file must have a unique public-id value. See Public ID prefix for more information on public IDs.

  5. Add unique entries for each security zone to import.
    For example:
    <SecurityZone public-id="pc:236">
      <Description>Some meaningful description…</Description>
      <Name>Some meaningful name…</Name>
    </SecurityZone>

    This example sets the public-id value to pc:236. Chose a public ID value that makes business sense for your organization.

  6. After saving the file, navigate to the following location in PolicyCenter:
    • Administration > Utilities > Import Data
  7. Browse to find your modified file and click Next.

    If there are conflicts between the administrative data in the import file and the existing administrative data, PolicyCenter provides a mechanism for conflict resolution. You can chose to do one of the following:

    • Overwrite all existing data with the imported data
    • Discard updates to any existing data and keep the existing data
    • Interactively resolve each data conflict on a case-by-case basis
  8. After resolving all data conflicts, click Finish.

Results

You can now use the updated set of security zones in PolicyCenter without server restart.
