Enabling Spotlight services

Access to Spotlight services requires a credential, consisting of a username and password. The SpotlightPolicyLocationRiskAssessmentPlugin plugin signs into Spotlight using this credential. You specify the credential in SpotlightCredentialProvider.gs. In the base configuration, this file contains a placeholder.

Important: To determine whether your Guidewire PolicyCenter license agreement includes Spotlight risk assessment services, contact your Guidewire sales representative. To obtain Spotlight URLs, user names, and credentials, contact your Guidewire support representative.

Risk assessment configuration parameters

Risk assessment parameters in config.xml enable you to set the URL for log in to Guidewire Spotlight and to access risk assessment services.

To enable access to Spotlight risk assessment services, set RiskAssessmentIntegrationEnabled to true, and then enable or disable the individual services by setting configuration parameters for those individual services. If RiskAssessmentIntegrationEnabled is false, then all Spotlight risk assessment services are disabled regardless of whether the individual service is enabled.

Set URLs to point to the risk assessment services in the SpotlightRiskAssessmentServiceURL, SpotlightInteractiveSerciveURL, and SpotlightThumbnailMapURL configuration parameters.

For individual Spotlight risk assessment services, the configuration parameters are:

Risk assessment service	Parameter
Thumbnail map	`RiskAssessmentThumbnailMapEnabled`
Request for single evaluation	`SingleLocationRiskAssessmentEnabled`
Request for multiple location evaluation	`MultipleLocationRiskAssessmentEnabled`

If risk assessment access is disabled for a service, PolicyCenter provides alert messages. In the base configuration, the service is inaccessible from the user interface when the service is unavailable.

However, if a service is disabled and access is attempted through the user interface, PolicyCenter displays a message indicating that the feature is not enabled. If an attempt is made programmatically to access a disabled service, PolicyCenter sends an activity to users identified by a configured set of roles. The activity message reports a permanent failure and advises that the administrator can provide access.

Spotlight session time-out

You may need to adjust the session time-out to enable users to work in Spotlight and then return to PolicyCenter without being automatically logged out. Check the value of the SessionTimeoutSecs parameter in config.xml.
