What Happens at Enforcement Time?
The policy-enforcement process begins when a
CentraSite user submits a request that acts on one of the object types listed in
Objects on Which Design/Change-Time
Policies Can Operate. Depending on the type of request the user submits, one of the events identified in
Events during Which Design/Change-Time
Policies Can Be Enforced can occur.
When an event occurs, CentraSite queries its database and executes policies that satisfy the following criteria:
The policy's
Event Type and
Object Type settings match the given event type and object type.
—AND—
The policy's object-selection criteria are satisfied by the object on which the event occurred.
—AND—
The policy is scoped for the same organization as the object —OR— the policy is
system-wide, meaning that it applies to all organizations.
Note: | It does not matter what kind of client submits the request or how the request reaches CentraSite. Design/change-time policies are applied to all requests, regardless of whether they come from the CentraSite Control user interface, a UDDI client or a JAXR-based client. Be aware that the execution of a policy can itself trigger another policy. This can occur if an action in a policy performs an operation that is within the scope of another policy. |
