False

(True/False) It’s important to clear PolicyCenter’s application cache frequently

True

(True/False) Clearing PolicyCenter’s application cache unloads cached rating tables and can have catastrophic results

Stack Trace

A vital debugging element that shows the widget or code where queries and issues originate

False

(True/False) Guidewire profilers are persisted to the database

True

(True/False) Entry point profiles are persisted to the database

Configuration

From the Guidewire Profiler tool in the side menu, which submenu can you use to get to the controls to Enable Profiling?

True

(True/False) Leaving profiling enabled after you are finished with it will cause it to continue to capture profiles every time an operation is called.

Frame

True

(True/False) DBCC results can be downloaded as a ZIP archive from the Guidewire application

True

(True/False) DBCCs should be run at regular intervals rather than waiting for specific occurrences, like major bi-annual software updates

True

(True/False) DBCCs should be run before deploying code to production

True

(True/False) Resolving database errors is an iterative process, often taking multiple cycles to fully eliminate all errors

False

(True/False) Removing an entity from the database will remove it from the data model automatically.

True
