What is a Design/Change-Time Policy?
A design/change-time policy defines a sequence of user-specified tasks that CentraSite is to execute when designated events occur in the registry. For example, a policy could instruct CentraSite to perform any of the following tasks:
Verify that a schema name conforms to specified conventions when a new schema is added to the catalog.
Submit a Web service to a review panel for approval before the service enters the Design state.
Send an email notification to the IT organization when a service is deployed.
Change the permission settings on an asset when the asset switches to the Available state.
Assign a user in a given role to a particular group when a new user is added to
CentraSite.
Alter an asset's lifecycle path depending on the way in which the asset is classified.
A design/change-time policy has two major elements: it has an action list, which specifies the tasks (policy actions) that are to be executed, and it has a defined scope, which specifies when the action list is to be executed.
