Minimum rating level parameter

Rating Management has a configuration parameter to set the minimum rating level.

In production, only rate books in Active status are used for policy rating. However, since active rate books can never be updated, it is useful to be able to test with rate books not yet in Active status. Then you can make changes in the current version instead of creating another version of the rate book for the next cycle of testing.

Rating Management has a RatingLevel parameter to support rating with rate books not yet in Active status in a development or test environment. This parameter controls the minimum rate book status that the rating query considers as a candidate. The default level is Active, which is the recommended level for production environments. A lower level can be set for development or test environments.

The rating level is set in a parameter on the IRatingPlugin plugin in gw.plugin.policyperiod. The parameter can have one of the following RateBookStatus values (in decreasing order):

• Active
• Approved
• Stage
• Draft

The RatingLevel is passed to the query as part of the filter. The query considers all books that are of equal or higher status than the minimum rating level.
