1. Ensure that Data-Admin-RemoteSystem instances are present for your organization’s lines of business.
   1. In the navigation panel of Dev Studio, click Records > SysAdmin > Remote System.
   2. Create or update the following instances with the values that correspond to your environment.
      • PUIPersonalLines
        • Select Connect using mashup
        • System URL – Enter the path, for example: http://{host}:{port}/prweb/IAC
        • Application Name – Specify the local implementation layer for personal lines
      • PUICommercialLines remote system
        • Select Connect using mashup
        • System URL value – Enter the path, for example: http://{host}:{port}/prweb/IAC
        • Application Name – Specify the local implementation layer for commercial lines
2. Create or update the IP address for the Pega Underwriting for Insurance application in your Sales Automation for Insurance application rule.
   1. In the navigation panel of Dev Studio, click Records > Application Definition > Application, and then select the appropriate implementation application instance for your organization.
   2. Click the Integration & security tab. In the the Mashup security section, update the following fields:
      • Trusted origin – Enter the path, for example: http://{localhost}:port
      • Note – Enter a text description of the target application, for example: UW Remote App
3. Ensure that the operators requiring access to Pega Underwriting for Insurance to initiate submissions from Pega Sales Automation for Insurance also exists in the Pega Underwriting for Insurance application. Ensure that these operators also have valid access permissions for processing submissions for the appropriate lines of business in Pega Underwriting for Insurance.
   
   For example, if the [email protected] operator in Pega Sales Automation for Insurance is needed to create a remote submission case for this Pega Underwriting for Insurance application, this same operator should also exist in the Pega Underwriting for Insurance application. The Pega Underwriting for Insurance operator [email protected] should also have access to the applications that are mentioned in the PUIPersonalLines and PUICommercialLines remote systems.
   
   In addition, the Pega Sales Automation for Insurance operator that is being used to initiate the remote submission case should have the Pega Underwriting for Insurance application agent ID in the ExternalID property of the operator record.
   
   For example, if an operator in Pega Sales Automation for Insurance is mapped to AGT-xxx in Pega Underwriting for Insurance, store this AGT-xxx value in the ExternalID property in the Pega Sales Automation for Insurance operator record.

Pega Underwriting for Insurance setup

To configure Pega Underwriting for Insurance for the Pega Sales Automation for Insurance to Pega Underwriting for Insurance integration, complete the following steps.

1. Create or update the IP address for your Pega Sales Automation for Insurance application in your application rule.
   1. In the navigation panel of Dev Studio, click Records > Application Definition > Application, and then click the Pega Underwriting for Insurance application.

      • Trusted origin – Enter the path, for example: http://{host}:{port}
      • Note – Enter a description of the master application, for example: SA App
2. Update the IAC API to allow direct authentication for IAC.
   The activity exists in the Pega-RULES and PBISampleData rulesets. For Pega internal implementations, use the PBISampleData version. For customer implementations, create a new version of the activity.
   1. In Dev Studio, open the IACAuthentication activity.
   2. On the Security tab, select the Allow direct invocation from the client or a service check box.
      Note: If the Allow direct invocation from the client or a service check box is cleared, when a remote case is initiated from Pega Sales Automation for Insurance, the login screen displays instead of the case initiation screen.
3. Review the BROWSER requestor type.
   1. In the navigation panel of Dev Studio, click Records > SysAdmin > Requestor Type. Click the row that corresponds to the Pega Underwriting for Insurance application system name BROWSER requestor type.
      Pega Underwriting for Insurance is usually deployed with a system name of "PUI". For an internal deployment, the appropriate requestor type would be "PUI - BROWSER".
   2. Ensure that the access group specified in the Access Group Name field, which is usually PRPC:Unauthenticated, has access to the IACAuthentication activity (Pega-RULES).
      Note: To obtain the system name, in Admin Studio, click Nodes running, click the node name, and then refer to the System name field.
4. Ensure that the operator that is used to initiate a remote case from the Pega Sales Automation for Insurance application also exists in the Pega Underwriting for Insurance application. In addition, ensure that this operator has access to the application that has the defined remote case.
5. Ensure that the search index is complete and active.
   1. In the header of Dev Studio, click Configure > System > Settings > Search.
   2. Review the data on the Search indexing page.

Customer data setup

Customer sample data is maintained in Pega Foundation for Insurance for both the Pega Customer Service for Insurance and Pega Underwriting for Insurance applications. Pega Underwriting for Insurance is usually deployed independently of Pega Customer Service for Insurance.

Both Pega Underwriting for Insurance and Pega Customer Service for Insurance maintain the Pega Foundation for Insurance data structures, and have similar but separate sample data instances. When deployed, sample data for Pega Underwriting for Insurance and Pega Customer Service for Insurance should remain in sync. This is accomplished by redirecting the Pega Underwriting for Insurance CustomerData schema to the CustomerData schema in the Pega Customer Service for Insurance database.

To ensure that contact data syncs among the Pega Sales Automation for Insurance, Pega Underwriting for Insurance, and Pega Customer Service for Insurance applications, complete the changes that are detailed in the following sections.

• CustomerData database rule
• PUICustomerSystem dynamic system setting

CustomerData database rule

Sample data for Pega Customer Relationship Management for Insurance and Pega Underwriting for Insurance is initially identical because both applications deploy common Pega Foundation for Insurance sample data objects. Configuring the CustomerData schema to use a common database eliminates the need to manually synchronize the customer sample data that is used by Pega Customer Service for Insurance and Pega Underwriting for Insurance when Pega Sales Automation for Insurance is also using the same data.

To delete the existing CustomerData database rule and create a CustomerData record for Pega Underwriting for Insurance, complete the following steps:

1. In the navigation panel of Dev Studio, click Records > System Admin > Database.
2. Click the CustomerData record and then click Delete.
3. Create a database record to direct the CustomerData schema to the Pega Sales Automation for Insurance or Pega Customer Service for Insurance instance. Update the database record fields with the following text:
   • Database – CustomerData
   • Short Description – CustomerData
4. Click Create and open.
5. On the Database tab, in the JDBC definition section, update the JBDC URL field by using the following path structure:
   jdbc:postgresql://<ip-address>:<port>/<dbname>?currentSchema=<customer SOR schema name>
   
   For example, if Pega Sales Automation for Insurance is a Postgres instance, use a CustomerData schema similar to the following example:
   jdbc:postgresql://<ipaddress>:5432/pega?currentSchema=pegadata
6. In the Authentication section, enter the username and password for the database schema owner.

PUICustomerSystem dynamic system setting

The PUICustomerSystem dynamic system setting holds the Pega Underwriting for Insurance customer system designation.

If the Pega Underwriting for Insurance CustomerData schema is pointing to a Pega Customer Service for Insurance instance, update the PUICustomerSystem dynamic system setting in Pega Sales Automation for Insurance.

1. In the navigation panel of Dev Studio, click Records > SysAdmin > Dynamic System Settings.
2. Click PUICustomerSystem. On the Settings tab, ensure that the entry in the Value field is CS.
