Copying a Policy Template
You must have the API Gateway's manage policy templates functional privilege assigned.
A policy template can become quite complex, especially if it includes many policies. Instead of creating a new policy template from scratch, it is sometimes easier to copy an existing template that is similar to the one you need and edit the copy.
When you create a copy of a policy template, be aware that:
*When API Gateway creates a copy of a policy template, the new copy of the policy template is identical to the original one.
*There is no expressed relationship between the copy and the original policy (that is, API Gateway does not establish any type of association between the two policy templates).
In general, a copied policy template is no different from a policy template that you create from scratch.
* To copy a policy template
1. Click Policies in the title navigation bar.
2. Click the Policy Templates tab.
A list of all available policy templates appears.
3. Click the Copy icon for the required template.
4. In the Copy of Policy Template dialog box, provide the required information for each of the displayed data fields:
Field
Description
Name
Name of the policy template.
API Gateway automatically adds the name of the existing policy template to the Name field. You can change the name of the template to suit your needs. But you cannot leave this field empty.
Description
The description for the policy template.
5. Click Copy to save the new policy template.
6. Modify the new policy template as necessary and then save it.
