Cloud retrofit steps to handle eff-dated entities attached to a line

As part of the cloud retrofit with APD App process, complete the following additional steps to handle custom eff-dated entities that are attached to a policy line.

After reading this topic, you'll be able to:

Define the custom eff-dated entity as a coverable in the template configuration files.
Configure LOB-specific entity names in the codegen files.

Completing these steps provides the API code generation process the information it requires to cast the mapping path of eff-dated custom entities to reflect the line of business.

Before you begin

Verify that your product includes a custom eff-dated entity that is referenced as a array in the PolicyLine.etx file. Also, verify that the product is installed.

Procedures

Step 1: Define the eff-dated entity as a coverable

About this task

When you define a product in the template configuration files as part of the Cloud Retrofit with APD App process, complete the following additional steps to define the eff-dated custom entity as a coverable.

Procedure

Complete the following steps for each line of business that shares an eff-dated entity with the policy line.
1. Open the template_gen_config.lob_prefix.yaml file associated with the line of business. If this change applies to all lines of business, you can open template_gen_config.all.yaml instead.
2. Add the eff-dated entity and add an entry to handle this entity as a coverable.
  For example, the following configuration specifies LineAddInsured_Ext to be handled as a coverable:
```
LineAddInsured_Ext:
  handling: coverable
```
Restart PolicyCenter.

Step 2: Export the product and create a new product in APD

Complete the steps to export the product and create a new product in APD. For more information, see Cloud Retrofit with APD App.

Step 3: Configure eff-dated entity names in codegen files

About this task

A codegen config file is a file that provides PolicyCenter with information about how to generate LOB-specific endpoints for a given non-APD-native product. In the codegen config files, you need to specify lob-specific names for each eff-dated entity attached to a policy line. For more information about codegen, see Codegen config files.

Procedure

Complete the following steps for each line of business that shares an eff-dated entity with the policy line.

Open the <lob_prefix>_codegen_config_ext-1.0.yaml file.
Configure an LOB-specific entry for the eff-dated entity.
For example, for the BA line of business, the following configuration specifies that the generated endpoint refers to LineAddInsured_Ext as BALineAddInsured_Ext:
```
BALineAddInsured_Ext:
    nameOverride: LineAddInsured_Ext
    resourceName: BALineAddInsured_Ext
```

Next steps

Complete the steps to synchronize PolicyCenter with APD, generate the endpoints, and delete the product from the APD App. For more information, see Cloud Retrofit with APD App.
