Run Gosu data change code

Before you begin

Before executing data change code, confirm that someone created and registered a data change. You must know the reference ID for the registered data change.

About this task

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 first. Guidewire recommends multiple people review and test the code and the results before attempting the data change on a production server.

Procedure

  1. Log into your PolicyCenter development environment as an administrator with the admindatachangeview permission.
  2. Select the Administration tab.
  3. Expand Utilities > Data Change.
  4. In the list of data changes, use the Reference column to find the data change request by its reference ID.
  5. Click on the data change row in that list.
    The screen shows the Gosu code for that data change.
  6. Review the Gosu code to confirm it is what you expect.
  7. Click Execute.
    During code execution, PolicyCenter does not display the results immediately in the Result pane. Instead, the status of Executing shows in the list of data changes.
  8. After a few seconds, click Reload on the screen to view the current status and results.
    • If the change is successful, PolicyCenter confirms the success in a message that uses your reference ID:
    • If the change was not successful, PolicyCenter shows any compile errors or exceptions in the user interface in the Result pane.
  9. Confirm your changes in the database and check your logging results from the change.
  10. If the data change appears safe in your development environment, carefully register and run the data change on the production server.
