Important changes to the configuration module

Guidewire has changed the structure and meaning of modules in PolicyCenter version 8.0.

In prior versions of PolicyCenter, all your modified files were in the directory PolicyCenter/modules/configuration, also known as the configuration module. All the unmodified base configuration files were stored in a separate read-only directory. The first time you edited a base configuration file, Studio copied the file to the configuration module — a process often referred to as “copy on edit”.

In other words, the configuration module previously contained:

• Your modified versions of base configuration files
• Your new configuration files

In version 8.0, the configuration module now contains all the following files in one merged hierarchy:

• Every base configuration file, whether modified or unmodified
• Your new configuration files

You can now edit all files directly in their location in the configuration module. If necessary, you can use Studio to revert any modified base configuration file to its original version. In Studio, right-click on the file name, then click Revert to Base.
