Workflow in Guidewire PolicyCenter

Guidewire PolicyCenter uses workflow to drive various key business processes (Renewals, Policy Changes, Submissions, and similar items). Guidewire defines and stores each base configuration workflow process as a separate file in the following directory:

PolicyCenter/modules/configuration/config/workflow

Each file name corresponds to the workflow process that it defines (for example, CompleteCancellationWF.1.xml). Each workflow file name contains a version number. If you create a new workflow, Studio creates a workflow file with version number 1. If you modify an existing base configuration workflow, Studio creates a copy of the file and increments the version number. In each case, Studio places the workflow file in the following directory:

modules/configuration/config/workflow
