PolicyCenter 10.0.1 Release Notes

The superuser role has changed in the following ways:

• The superuser role is no longer assigned to user su.

• In the user interface, the superuser role has been renamed All Permissions (Deprecated).

On the Commercial Auto Line, setting Non-Owned Liability States to <None> and clicking Add State caused an illegal argument exception. The <None> option has been removed to fix this issue.

For pending contingencies that have been processed by the Handle Unresolved Contingency work queue, their status is now set to ACTION_INITIATED. Contingencies with status of FAILED or ACTION_INITIATED appear on the Contingency screen under Closed Without Satisfactory Resolution.

Fixed an issue which resulted in null pointer exception when the Search For field is set to <none>.

In Personal Auto, added a validation warning that appears for vehicle if it is associated with a garage location that expires before the policy term ends. The message is: The garage location for vehicle <vehicle #> is about to expire on <date> which will result in the vehicle also expiring on that date. If this is not desired behavior, as a workaround, create a new garaging location for the vehicle with the same address as the current one prior to completing the quote.

The ReferenceDateInternal property has moved to the Coverable entity and removed from entities that implement the Coverable entity. See the Configuration Upgrade Guide for more information.

Moving the ReferenceDateInternal property from the entity to the delegate does not affect instances already stored in the database. In instances created before and after this change, this column is stored in the same table in the database.

When creating contacts to send to ClaimCenter, PolicyCenter no longer sends the primary named insured as an additional named insured.

Made _rootContainer in WorksheetLogger.gs null safe to prevent null pointer exceptions that appeared in the log.

Fixed a memory leak which caused a gradual slowdown of performance. This occurred in the LRUCache implementation in LookupTableManagerImpl.

In Homeowners, removed garage validation error for Rental and Condominium policies.

Policy periods that are orphaned as a result of preemption are now purged based on the orphaned flag on policy period instead of a combination of having the job foreign key equal to null and the preempted flag being set to true.

In PolicyCenter, when a policy was transferred from one account to another account, or if two accounts were merged, the contacts on the original policy or account were not updated in ContactManager. The contacts in ContactManager are now updated. This was previously a known issue.

Add EffDatedArrayLoader to improve the performance of loading an EffDated array. This improves the performance of

getAllCoverables in PolicyPeriodBaseEnhancement.gs.

To improve the performance of N+1 query problem for EffDated beans, you can now use EffDatedArrayLoader to do a batch load.

Also, EffDated[] and Iterable<EffDated> have been enhanced with the following methods: EffDated[]#arrays<C extends EffDated>(IArrayPropertyInfo) or Iterable<EffDated>#arrays<C extends EffDated>(IArrayPropertyInfo). Refer to the javadocs for more information.

Fixed a null pointer exception that occurred in a policy change. This occurred if you deleted then re-added the primary named insured, then applied the change to a future unbound renewal.

The PolicyImpl.startConversionRenewalWithBasedOn method now has a rethrowException parameter which will determine whether to rethrow the exception.

If you cancel a policy that has a future renewal that is not bound, the renewal is now handled by PolicyCenter in the following ways:

• If renewal documents have not been sent, then withdraw the renewal. This removes the renewal job and all policy periods associated with the renewal.
• If renewal documents have been sent and there is enough time to send non-renewal documents, then withdraw the renewal. This withdraws the selected version of the policy period and blocks other policy periods in the renewal job through an underwriting issue.
• If renewal documents have been sent and there is not enough time send non-renewal documents, then block the renewal. This block all policy periods in the job with an underwriting issue.

If the policy has a future renewal that is bound, start a cancellation for the bound renewal term. This part of the feature has not changed.

This previously known issue occurred when you added a new authority grant to an Authority Profile and entered one or two characters before hitting the search icon. After selecting a specific authority in Issue Type Search, it was added with Any as the Comparison type. Now it is added with the correct comparison type.

Added a batch process for fixing business rule code expression fragments that contain the symbol util (with the lowercase u). This batch process changes util to Util in CodeExpressionFragment instances stored in the database. See the Configuration Upgrade Guide for more information.

PolicyCenter would sometimes add a clause to a future bound branch even if there was no coverable for the clause. This caused a database consistency error. For example, when applying changes to future bound renewals, PolicyCenter displayed a message such as, "The CPBuilding property on CPBuildingCov must point to a valid row on CPBuilding in the same branch." PolicyCenter now no longer adds a clause to future bound branches if there is no matching coverable.

Fixed a previously known issue in Commercial Property where Create Blanket threw a NumberFormatException when using France Regional Format in multicurrency mode. The limit for blanket coverages now uses currencyAmount.

On the Account and Policy dashboards, archived policies were not displayed as archived. Archived policies are now displayed as archived.

Fixed an issue which caused an illegal argument exception when a policy transaction with unsaved changes was cloned. For example, copying a submission. This exception occurred when navigating back to the original policy transaction.

If a pending policy transaction is archived, it is now displayed as archived on the Policy Summary screen.

Fixed an issue where the ClaimCenter Typelist Generator removed typecodes that were a part of ClaimCenter in CovTermPattern typelist.

If you have other ClaimCenter typecodes that you want the Generator to preserve, go into ProductModelTypelistGenerator.gs in the pc1000 directory and add the name of the typecodes to _covTermPatternCCAddedTypelistCategories.

The ClaimCenter Typelist Generator re-adds manually deleted CoverageSubtype typecodes. If you do not want these re-added, view the typelist as XML and comment out the CoverageSubtype typecodes instead of deleting them.

Fixed an issue where bound audit policy periods were not included when filtering for bound policy periods. Bound audit policy periods have PolicyPeriod status set to AuditComplete.

Improved quote times with changes to RateBookCache start up and refresh that reduce database queries.

Fixed issues that occurred when undoing a transaction:

• The Discard Unsaved Change link sometimes did not work
• Clicking Cancel it caused an illegal state exception error

The MessageHistory#Policy foreign key is no longer deprecated and is populated with the related Policy.

The Policy column on the Message entity is no longer deprecated.  This change ensures that the Policy column is populated when creating the Message.

With this fix, on the first quote of an out-of-sequence policy change, all out-of-sequence conflicts now appear in the conflict list.

The system permission type cancelreschedule had an incorrect label and was revised to display the correct label, Cancellation reschedule.

After importing Lookup Table Definitions, underwriting rules that use these definitions are now validated.

Fixed an issue which caused an IllegalArgumentException when withdrawing a transaction with validation errors.

In PolicyCenter 9.0.0, the configuration upgrade tools changed, and the gwb command to upgrade the product model, gwb upgradeProductModelStructure, was no longer used during the upgrade process. In PolicyCenter 10.0.1, this functionality was completely disabled.

This command has now been removed. See the Configuration Upgrade Guide for more information on upgrading the product model.

When you choose a payment plan that is a multiple of months (such as quarterly or six month) and also choose to override the invoice and fill in the override day, the Payment Override popup now includes invoice information. This fix requires BillingCenter 10.0.1.

On the Administration > Monitoring > Message screen, you can now search for messages without specifying a Transaction Number, Policy Number, or Account Number. Leaving fields blank searches for all messages.

In an out-of-sequence policy transaction, calling IMLine.IMAccountsRecPart or from any other IMCoveragePart on IMLine) can cause an illegal state exception. To avoid this issue, use InlandMarineLineEnhancement#getAllExistingCoverageParts instead.

The Gosu classes, IMAccountsRecPartEnhancement#CurrentAndFutureIMAccountsReceivables, ContractorsEquipmentPartEnhancement#CurrentAndFutureContractorsEquipments and IMSignPartEnhancement#CurrentAndFutureIMSigns now use InlandMarineLineEnhancement#getAllExistingCoverageParts instead of IMLine#IMAccountsRecPart method to avoid this issue.

Product model display keys now switch to English if you select English when the DefaultApplicationLanguage is set to another language.

Fixed an issue which caused side-by-side quote to throw an EffDatedVersionListOverlapException.

Fixed an issue where some changes to intermediate slices in a multi-slice transaction did not propagate forward.

Fixed an issue in side-by-side quoting. This issue caused an IllegalStateException: Duplicate key Total premium over authority.

Enabled sorting on all columns on the Account Holder Summary, Account Summary, and Policy Summary screens.

Fixed an issue where out-of-sequence policy changes on certain coverages in Homeowners were not reported to the user.

Fixed an issue where PolicyCenter failed to start due to a compilation error during rate book preload when rating worksheets were enabled.

Fixed an issue which caused an IllegalStateException: Duplicate key in jurisdiction due to duplicate vehicles at different slices.

When you move a policy to another account, the Policy Moved history event now includes Policy.ID.

Fixed an issue where a coverage was added erroneously to a blanket when quoting a policy change.

Fixed an issue where the Payment screen of a bound reinstatement caused a null pointer exception and displayed the error message Could not retrieve available payment plans from Billing System.

Fixed an issue that caused a null pointer exception after adding a new facultative agreement.

When a PolicyCenter contact was updated from ContactManager, the update to the PolicyCenter contact did not include the Geocode status. The Geocode status is now updated in PolicyCenter.

Fixed an issue that occurred when using a newly defined parameter which allowed multiple values. If you added rows in your Rate Table Definition which contain blank values, a Null Pointer Exception was thrown.

In the integration with BillingCenter 10, on the Policy Billing dashboard the billed amount and paid amount are now updated to the correct values provided by BillingCenter.

Fixed an issue where PolicyPeriod#getFutureBoundDate did not return dates of policy periods that were bound before the current period was bound.

Fixed an issue which caused the Purge work queue to throw an exception: IllegalStateException: Attempt to access bean of type "Policy" id=xxxxxxx with a null bundle. When the work queue retried purging, it failed with this message: Failed to load StandardWorkItem.

Improved performance of copying a submission (Actions > Copy). Testing was performed on commercial policies with 2000 or more coverables.

In Guidewire Rating Management, improved quoting performance by reducing map lookups in RateBookCacheState.

Fixed an issue that caused exceptions while quoting with exceptionally large rate routines.

Fixed an issue which cause an illegal state exception when viewing Rating Worksheet on renewal. The exception was: java.lang.IllegalStateException: This iterable has more than one element in it. This also occurred when selecting Show Rating Worksheet on the Renewal Quote screen.

Fixed an issue in personal auto quick quote where line costs were not calculated correctly for the given vehicles. This issue was only in quick quote; full quote was quoting correctly.

Product Designer was adding duplicate coverage codes for multiple subtypes. The fix ensures that no duplicates are added and that all added codes are unique.
