Validation

PolicyCenter performs rule-based validation as it commits a data bundle containing a validatable entity to the database. Rules-based validation works with non-policy objects only. To validate policy-related objects, use class-based validation.

Many, if not most, of the validation rule sets are empty by default. Guidewire expects you to create your own rules to meet your business needs.

Important: PolicyCenter does not permit you to modify objects during validation rule execution that require changes to the database. To allow this would make it impossible to ever completely validate data. (Data validation would be a ever-shifting target.)
