Archiving in a production environment
After you enable PolicyCenter archiving, you cannot disable archiving entirely unless you drop the application database. Additionally, after enabling archiving, even if you then disable archiving, you still see references to Policy Term archiving.
Do not attempt to disable archiving in a production environment after you have enabled this functionality.
Warning: Do not attempt to reset the value of
ArchiveEnabled from true to false. After you set ArchiveEnabled to true and start the server, you cannot change the value of this parameter again. If you reset the value to false, the server does not start. Also, do not remove the archive work queue. Removing this work queue after enabling archiving prevents that application server from starting.Implementing policy term archiving
If you intend to implement Policy Term archiving in your production PolicyCenter environment, first test the end-to-end archiving process in a development environment.
Disabling policy term archiving
If you do not intend to implement Policy Term archiving in your production PolicyCenter environment, do the following:
- Accept the default archiving configuration, which Guidewire disables by default.
- Manually disable all unused archiving configuration elements.
