PolicyCenter exit points to ClaimCenter and BillingCenter

There are screens in the PolicyCenter user interface in which a user can directly open another application in a separate browser window. This feature is implemented by using the PCF widget ExitPoint, which in the base configuration sends a URL to a corresponding PCF widget called EntryPoint in the target Guidewire application.

Exit point configuration parameters are configured in config.xml and not in suite-config.xml. The configuration parameters in suite-config.xml support integration between Guidewire applications through web services. The exit point configuration parameters in config.xml support integration between web browsers.

In the base configuration, PolicyCenter provides ExitPoint widgets that can perform the following operations.

  • Open ClaimCenter to directly view and edit claim information. The file ClaimDetailsCV.pcf provides a View in ClaimCenter button that uses the ViewClaim exit point.

    To set the URL for the exit point to ClaimCenter, edit the configuration parameter ClaimSystemURL in config.xml. Set this parameter to the base URL for the server as shown in the sample URL below.

    http://localhost:8080/cc
  • Open BillingCenter to directly view and edit account information. The file Account_BillingScreen.pcf provides a View in BillingCenter button that uses the BCAccount exit point.

    To set the URL for the exit point to BillingCenter, edit the configuration parameter BillingSystemURL config.xml. Set this parameter to the base URL for the server as shown in the sample URL below.

    http://localhost:8580/bc

You can integrate with a system other than a Guidewire core application, such as a billing system that is not Guidewire BillingCenter. If you want to send the system additional parameters, you can add them to the URL configuration parameter for that system. In the case of a billing system, you set the configuration parameter BillingSystemURL it to the actual URL of the billing system and add any required additional HTTP parameters. If the configuration parameter is absent or is set to the empty string, exit point buttons for that system in the user interface are hidden.
