Configure Policy Action Parameters

Policy actions have parameters that you must set to configure the behavior of the action at enforcement time. You use panel 2 of the Virtualize Your API page to configure parameters of the policy actions that are available for the Virtual Service.

1. In CentraSite Business UI, access the Advanced Search panel in one of the following ways:

Click the Browse link in the upper-left corner of the menu bar.

Click the Search icon next to the Scope list. The default search scope is Assets.

This displays a list of assets in the Search Results page.

2. In the Additional Search Criteria list, select Asset Types.

3. To search for the assets of type, Virtual Service, click Choose.

4. In the Choose Asset Types dialog box, select the Assets option button, and then follow these steps:

a. Click the chevron next to Assets option button.

b. In the displayed list of asset types, select Virtual Service.

A list of defined Virtual Service assets is displayed in the Search Results page.

5. Click the Virtual Service whose policy action parameters you want to configure.

This opens the Virtual Service details page. Also, the actions bar displays a set of actions that are available for working with the Virtual Service.

6. On the actions bar of the Virtual Service Details page, click Virtualize.

This opens the Virtualize <Service_Name> (Step 1 of 2) wizard.

7. To configure the required parameters for the policy actions displayed in the Message Flow area, proceed as follows:

a. Hover over an action whose parameters you want to modify.

b. Choose the Configure icon to the right of the action name.

c. In the <action_name> dialog box, set the values for the parameters as necessary.

Note:

If you fail to specify the required parameters, the system alerts you with a red error icon. Pointing to the error icon shows a hint with the error description.

e. Repeat the above steps for each action that you want to modify.

Important:

If you make changes to the Service's run-time enforcement, for example, Enable REST Support action for a SOAP Service, you must manually republish the Virtual Service to put those changes into effect.
