Configuring the Guidewire Solr Extension

You configure the Guidewire Solr Extension separately from configuring your PolicyCenter instance.

The following configuration files are important when you configure the Guidewire Solr Extension for free-text search:

solr.xml

Defines global properties and configuration settings for the Guidewire Solr Extension.

solrserver-config.xml

Configures how PolicyCenter connects to and works with the Guidewire Solr Extension. Categories of configuration settings include:

Connections with specific instances of the Guidewire Solr Extension
Type of operating mode for instances of the Guidewire Solr Extension
Provision of changed configuration files from the PolicyCenter home directory to instances of the Guidewire Solr home directory

Important: Always use Studio to modify the free-text configuration files.

Generally, you work with these files during installation, at the time you set up free-text search in the application server or servers dedicated to the Guidewire Solr Extension.

If you make changes to the configuration files within Studio, for the changes to take effect, you must run the gwb packageSolr command. Then redeploy the pc-gwsolr.zip file that this command creates. If you make changes to the configuration files in the deployment folders outside Studio, you must copy your changes back to the folders in the Navigation window in Studio. If you do not copy your changes back to Studio, the files from Studio replace your changed files when you next run the gwb packageSolr command and redeploy the pc-gwsolr.zip file.
