ContactManager messaging events

ContactManager sends messages to integrated Guidewire core applications after changes to certain entities, such as adding or deleting a contact or changing data for a contact. These changes trigger events, which trigger code that sends messages. For example, a user of a core application changes the address of a contact stored in ContactManager. ContactManager receives that change and updates the contact, triggering an event, ABContactChanged. This event triggers event message rules that cause ContactManager to send the contact change to the integrated core applications.

You can see the messaging events that are generated for each entity in the Data Dictionary. To build the data dictionary for your system, open a command prompt and navigate to the ContactManager installation folder, and then enter the command gwb genDataDictionary. The command builds the security and data dictionaries. It saves the Data Dictionary in ContactManager/build/dictionary/data/index.html.
