Overview of integrating ClaimCenter and PolicyCenter

You set up the integration between ClaimCenter and PolicyCenter primarily by specifying plugin implementations in each application that use web services provided by the other application. There are additional configuration files and classes involved in the setup as well.

ClaimCenter integration with PolicyCenter for policy retrieval

ClaimCenter can search for a policy stored in PolicyCenter and retrieve it. Subsequently, ClaimCenter can update its copy of the policy.

The ClaimCenter side of this integration is described in:

The PolicyCenter side of this integration is described in:

ClaimCenter files and classes for basic integration with PolicyCenter

This topic does not provide integration instructions. For information on setting up ClaimCenter with PolicyCenter to retrieve policy information, see Configure ClaimCenter to retrieve policy information.

The following files and classes are provided by ClaimCenter for configuring basic PolicyCenter integration:

  • suite-config.xml – An XML configuration file that you edit to indicate which Guidewire applications are installed and available for integration.
  • config.xml – The main XML configuration file for ClaimCenter. You edit this file to set the URL for PolicyCenter.
  • IPolicySearchAdapter.gwp – The registry for the ClaimCenter plugin class that implements PolicyCenter integration. In the base configuration, a demo plugin is registered that does not work with PolicyCenter.
  • wsi.remote.gw.webservice.pc.PCConfigurationProvider – Defines the user name and password that ClaimCenter uses to connect with PolicyCenter.
  • For integration with PolicyCenter 10:
    • gw.plugin.pcintegration.pc1000.PolicySearchPCPlugin – You register this plugin class for integration with PolicyCenter 10. This class implements the IPolicySearchAdapter Gosu interface and calls PolicyCenter web services retrieved in the web collection pc1000.wsc.
    • pc1000.wsc – The web collection for PolicyCenter 10 web services, the WSDL for use by ClaimCenter plugin implementation classes.
    • config/datamapping/pc/1000/pc-to-cc-data-mapping.xml – Maps SOAP data sent from PolicyCenter to the entities used to represent policies in ClaimCenter. Works with PolicyCenter 10.
  • For integration with PolicyCenter 9:
    • gw.plugin.pcintegration.pc900.PolicySearchPCPlugin – You register this plugin class for integration with PolicyCenter 9. This class implements the IPolicySearchAdapter Gosu interface and calls PolicyCenter web services retrieved in the web collection pc900.wsc.
    • pc900.wsc – The web collection for PolicyCenter 9 web services, the WSDL for use by ClaimCenter plugin implementation classes.
    • config/datamapping/pc/900/pc-to-cc-data-mapping.xml – Maps SOAP data sent from PolicyCenter to the entities used to represent policies in ClaimCenter. Works with PolicyCenter 9.
  • Web services that ClaimCenter publishes for use by PolicyCenter for basic integration:
    • PolicyCenter 10 – gw.webservice.cc.cc1000.pcintegration.PCClaimSearchIntegrationAPI
    • PolicyCenter 9 – gw.webservice.cc.cc900.pcintegration.PCClaimSearchIntegrationAPI

PolicyCenter integration with ClaimCenter for claim retrieval

PolicyCenter can search for a claim stored in ClaimCenter and retrieve it.

The PolicyCenter view of this integration is described in:

PolicyCenter files and classes for basic integration with ClaimCenter

Note: This topic does not provide integration instructions. For information on setting up PolicyCenter to retrieve claim information, see Configure PolicyCenter to retrieve claim information.

  • config.xml – The main XML configuration file for PolicyCenter. You edit this file to set the URL for ClaimCenter.
  • IClaimSearchPlugin.gwp – The registry for the PolicyCenter plugin class that implements ClaimCenter integration. In the base configuration, a demo plugin is registered that does not work with ClaimCenter.
  • wsi.remote.gw.webservice.cc.CCConfigurationProvider – Defines the user name and password that PolicyCenter uses to connect with ClaimCenter.
  • For integration with ClaimCenter 10:
    • gw.plugin.claimsearch.cc1000.GWClaimSearchPlugin – You register this plugin class for integration with ClaimCenter 10. This class implements the IClaimSearchPlugin Gosu interface and calls ClaimCenter web services retrieved in the web services collection cc1000.wsc.
    • cc1000.wsc – The web services collection for ClaimCenter 10 web services, the WSDL for use by PolicyCenter plugin implementation classes.
  • For integration with ClaimCenter 9:
    • gw.plugin.claimsearch.cc900.GWClaimSearchPlugin – You register this plugin class for integration with ClaimCenter 9. This class implements the IClaimSearchPlugin Gosu interface and calls ClaimCenter web services retrieved in the web services collection cc900.wsc.
    • cc900.wsc – The web services collection for ClaimCenter 9 web services, the WSDL for use by PolicyCenter plugin implementation classes.
  • Web services that PolicyCenter publishes for use by ClaimCenter for basic integration:
    • ClaimCenter 10 – gw.webservice.pc.pc1000.ccintegration.CCPolicySearchIntegration
    • ClaimCenter 9 – gw.webservice.pc.pc900.ccintegration.CCPolicySearchIntegration

ClaimCenter and PolicyCenter large loss notification integration

There is a large loss notification integration that is optional. This integration requires that:
