Policy Scope
 
Refining a Policy's Scope with Additional Selection Criteria
The policy's scope specifies the conditions under which CentraSite is to execute the policy. It consists of two main parameters: Event Type and Object Type.
*The Event Type parameter specifies the events to which the policy applies. An event represents a specific point during a registry operation when policies can be executed. Such points include the PreCreate event (the point in time just before CentraSite saves a new instance of an object to the registry), the PostCreate event (the point immediately after CentraSite saves a new instance of an object to the registry) and the PreDelete event (the point in time immediately before CentraSite deletes an object). Other events include the points in time before and after an update operation and before and after a state change. For a complete list of the supported event types, see the CentraSite User’s Guide.
*The Object Type parameter specifies the types of objects to which the policy applies. Policies can be applied to any type of asset and to several other types of registry objects. For a complete list of the supported objects, see the CentraSite User’s Guide.
Together, the event type and the object type determine when the policy will execute. You can make the scope as narrow or as broad as you need. That is, you can target the policy for one particular type of event and object (for example, a PreDelete event on an XML Schema) or apply the policy to multiple events and objects (for example, a PreCreate, PreUpdate or PreDelete event on an XML Schema, a Service or a BPEL Process).
