PolicyCenter Product Model import into ClaimCenter

If you run instances of ClaimCenter and PolicyCenter together, you must keep your ClaimCenter lines of business model synchronized with your PolicyCenter product model. If you change your PolicyCenter product model, you must merge the changes with your ClaimCenter lines of business model to ensure synchronization. To help you synchronize your ClaimCenter lines of business model with your PolicyCenter product model, PolicyCenter provide the ClaimCenter Typelist Generator command-line tool.

Some typelists in the ClaimCenter lines of business model use data definitions from the PolicyCenter product model as the following diagram shows.


The LOBCode typelist in ClaimCenter corresponds to PolicyLinePattern in PolicyCenter. PolicyType corresponds to Product. CoverageType and CoverageSubtype correspond to CoveragePattern.

For example, LOB codes in ClaimCenter are equivalent to policy lines in PolicyCenter. Policy types are equivalent to products, and coverage types are equivalent to coverages. The generator adds new LOB typecodes to the ClaimCenter LOB typelist that correspond to codes for new PolicyCenter policy lines. The generator adds new typecodes to the typelists for policy type and coverage type in a similar way.

The code that you specify for a new product model pattern in the Product Designer becomes the codeIdentifier attribute of that element in the product model. The Product Designer generates a new public ID for the new product model pattern. The maximum length of a public ID is 64 characters. The maximum length of a code identifier for a policy line pattern or a product pattern is 64 characters. The maximum length of a code identifier for other product model patterns is 128 characters.

The generator uses the public-id attribute of the product model pattern and the code attribute of a ClaimCenter typecode in the equivalent typelist to match products and typecodes. If the public-id attribute of the product model pattern does not match the code attribute of any ClaimCenter typecode in the equivalent typelist, the generator creates a new typecode. The generator uses the codeIdentifier attribute of the product model element to add an identifierCode attribute to all typecodes that do not have a code identifier. The value that you use in a program to refer to the typecode is TYPELIST.TC_IDENTIFIERCODE.

The ClaimCenter lines of business model also has typelists in its hierarchy above and below the PolicyCenter equivalents. For example, LOB codes in ClaimCenter link to loss types. The generator does not link LOB codes to loss types. You must link new LOB codes to their parent loss types manually in Guidewire Studio for ClaimCenter. Similarly, at the bottom of the hierarchy, you must link new coverage types and coverage subtypes from PolicyCenter to exposure types in ClaimCenter.
