Creating a New Run-Time Policy
Perform these steps to create a run-time policy and save it to CentraSite.
To create a run-time policy
1. In the activity bar, click Manage Governance Rules.
When you do this, you see a list of all of the currently defined run-time policies. Also, the action bar shows the set of actions that are available for working with policies.
2. In the actions bar of the Search Results page, click Add Policy. This displays the Create Run-Time Policy page in which you can enter the required information for the policy.
3. In Create Run-Time Policy (Step 1 of 3), specify the basic details and scope for the new policy.
a. Complete the following fields as necessary.
In this field... | Do the following... |
Name | Enter a name for the new policy. A policy name can contain any character (including spaces). A policy name does not need to be unique within the registry. However, to reduce ambiguity, you should avoid giving multiple policies the same name. As a best practice, we recommend that you adopt appropriate naming conventions to ensure that policies are distinctly named within your organization. |
Description | Optional. Enter a description for the new policy. This description appears when a user displays a list of policies in the user interface. |
Version | Optional. Specify a version identifier for the new policy. Note: | The version identifier does not need to be numeric. |
Examples: 0.0a 1.0.0 (beta) Pre-release 001 V1-2007.04.30 The version identifier you enter here is the policy's public, user-assigned version identifier. |
Apply policy to all organizations | Enable the Apply policy to all organizations checkbox if you want to apply the policy to the specified services in all organizations. Note: | The Apply policy to all organizations checkbox appears if you belong to the CentraSite Administrator role. |
|
Apply Policy to Organization | Alternatively, select an organization to which the policy applies. Note: | The Apply Policy to Organization list contains the names of all organizations if you belong to the API Runtime Provider role. |
