Specifying the Scope of a Run-Time Policy

Scope refers to the set of properties that determine when a policy is enforced. For a run-time policy, scope is determined by the policy's Organization, Applicable Virtual Types, Published APIs and Gateways properties, which are described below.

Property	Description
Organization	Determines whether the policy belongs to a specific organization or is system-wide. For more information about the Organization property, see System-Wide versus Organization-Specific Policy Enforcement.
Applicable Virtual Types	The list of virtual types (Virtual Service, Virtual REST Service, Virtual XML Service) of APIs to which this policy applies. You can optionally restrict the scope of the selected virtual types by specifying additional filter criteria. For procedures, see Refining the Policy Scope.
Applicable Gateways	The list of gateways to which the policy will be published (e.g., webMethods Integration Server).
