Guidelines for configuring Oracle for PolicyCenter

Guidewire recommends that you implement the guidelines in this topic as you install and configure the Oracle database server to work with PolicyCenter.

Note: See the Supported Software Components knowledge article for information about which specific Oracle versions Guidewire supports for PolicyCenter 10.1.2. Visit the Guidewire Community and search for knowledge article 1005, “Supported Software Components”.

PolicyCenter requires Oracle Locator, which is included with Oracle Multimedia. Refer to Oracle MOS (My Oracle Support) note How To Verify That Oracle Locator Is Installed (Doc ID 357943.1). Note that PolicyCenter does not require Oracle Spatial, an extra-cost option that includes all Oracle Locator features plus advanced features for spatial data.
