ClaimCenter Typelist Generator input and output directories

The ClaimCenter Typelist Generator can use the same directory for the input and output directories. The generator reads input files when it starts and writes output files when it finishes. When the input and output directories are the same, your typelist and properties files are overwritten with generated changes. This arrangement works well for demonstration situations. However, using the same directory for input and output prevents you from using a difference tool to determine the typecodes that the generator changed.

In a development or demonstration environment, you generally set up a PolicyCenter and a ClaimCenter instance on the same machine. If so, the generator can use the ClaimCenter directory that holds the lines of business typelist files as the input and output directories. This approach avoids steps to manually copy files from and to ClaimCenter.

In a production environment, do not configure the ClaimCenter Typelist Generator to use ClaimCenter directories for input or output.
