Location of zone configuration files

PolicyCenter stores the zone-config.xml files in folders under the geodata folder. Each file is in its own individual country folder. For example, PolicyCenter stores the zone-config.xml file for the address-related information for Australia in the following location in the Studio Project window:

configuration > config > geodata > AU

In the base configuration, Guidewire defines zone hierarchies for the following geographical locations:

AU – Australia
CA – Canada
DE – Germany
FR – France
GB – Great Britain
JP – Japan
US – Unites States of America

In each zone-config.xml file, you define:

The links between the country’s zones, the zone hierarchy
How PolicyCenter uses those links to extract the value of a zone from address data
How PolicyCenter imports data from zone data files
