Creating a Run-Time Policy
Pre-requisites:
To create a new run-time policy in CentraSite, you must have one of the following permissions:
To create policies for a specific organization, you must have the Manage Run-Time Policies permission for that organization. By default, users in the
CentraSite Administrator, Organization Administrator, or Policy Administrator role have this permission.
To create system-wide policies (that is, policies that apply to all organization within an instance of
CentraSite ), you must have the Manage System-Wide Run-Time Policies permission. By default, users in the
CentraSite Administrator role and Operations Administrator role have this permission.
To create a run-time policy
1. In the CentraSite Business UI activity bar, click Manage Governance Rules.
2. On the actions bar of the Search Results page, click Add Policy.
3. On the Create Run-Time Policy (Step 1 of 3) page, provide the required information for each of the displayed data fields.
a. Specify the basic information for the runtime policy.
In this field... | Do the following... |
Name | Type a name for the new policy. A policy name can contain any character (including spaces). A policy name does not need to be unique within the registry. However, to reduce ambiguity, you should avoid giving multiple policies the same name. As a best practice, Software AG recommends that you adopt appropriate naming conventions to ensure that policies are distinctly named within your organization. |
Description | (Optional). Type a description for the new policy. This description appears when a user displays a list of policies in the user interface. |
Version | (Optional). Specify a version identifier for the new policy. Note: | The version identifier does not need to be numeric. |
Examples: 0.0a 1.0.0 (beta) Pre-release 001 V1-2007.04.30 The version identifier you type here is the policy's public, user-assigned version identifier. |
Apply policy to all organizations | Enable the Apply policy to all organizations checkbox if you want to apply the policy to the specified services in all organizations. Note: | The Apply policy to all organizations checkbox appears if you belong to the CentraSite Administrator role. |
|
Apply Policy to Organization | Alternatively, select an organization to which the policy applies. Note: | The Apply Policy to Organization list contains the names of all organizations if you belong to the API Runtime Provider role. |
