Changes to PolicyCenter business rules

In PolicyCenter versions prior to 10.0.0, the rule list screen showed an Enabled column. Guidewire has removed this column in PolicyCenter 10.0.0. Instead, in 10.0.0, the Run Status column icon (and tooltip) indicate whether a rule is enabled or disabled.

Also new in 10.0.0 is the ability to directly enable or disable a business rule from the rule list screen or the rule details screen:

From the rule list screen, by selecting More > Enable Selected or More > Disable Selected.
From the rule detail screen, by placing the rule in edit mode and updating the Enabled check box.

Clicking the Enable / Disable button on a rule detail screen toggles the Enabled field on the selected version of the rule. The label of the button changes depending on whether the selected rule version is currently enabled or disabled.

Business rules and rolling upgrade

In 10.0.0, during a rolling upgrade, Guidewire disables the ability to deploy a business rule in a production environment. The intent is to prevent the deployment of a rule that contains data that is incompatible with the current environment, thereby causing the rule execution to fail.

During a rolling upgrade, PolicyCenter:

Disables the Deploy All and Deploy Selected options on the rule list screen.
Disables the Deploy button on the rule detail screen.
Displays an alert message on the rule list and rule details screen that indicates rule deployment is not possible due to an ongoing upgrade.
