Generate and deploy the product

Before you begin

About this task

You generate the product in the PolicyCenter instance where you will continue product development. Product generation accesses and modifies files in the PolicyCenter configuration, therefore generation must be done in a local development environment and not a hosted instance of PolicyCenter.

After generation, check files into version control, recompile PolicyCenter in Guidewire Studio, and deploy the product.

Procedure

  1. In PolicyCenter, select Generate Product Code, and select All.
    At this point, you have fixed all validation errors.
    1. Click Complete Generation.
      The generated product files are saved into the PolicyCenter directory on the computer where PolicyCenter is running.
    2. After the product code is generated, stop the PolicyCenter application.
    3. Check your changes into version control.
    4. In Studio, recompile PolicyCenter.
    5. Restart PolicyCenter.
      • Now you can select the product from the Installed Products tab on the New Submissions screen. You can make modifications to the product in Product Designer.
      • If you do not drop the database, the product still appears on the Visualized Products tab and on the Product Definition screen.
