Modifying policies using the administrative console

With your policy sets, you can define policies for WS-Addressing, WS-Security, WS-ReliableMessaging, WS-Transaction, HTTP transport, Java™ Messaging Service (JMS) transport, and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) transport. The policies for all but WS-Security are relatively straightforward to define.

Before you begin

The provided default policy sets cannot be edited. You can create a copy of the default policy set or create a completely new policy set in order to specify the policies for it.

About this task

Polices are associated with policy sets, so you can change an instance of a policy for a particular policy set.

Procedure

  1. Select the policy set containing the policy you want to modify.
    To customize the policies associated with a policy set, from the administrative console, click:
    • Services > Policy sets > Application policy sets >policy_set_name. Click a policy name in the Policies table.
    • Or Services > Policy sets > System policy sets >policy_set_name. Click a policy name in the Policies table.
  2. Modify the settings.
    Depending on which Policy you choose, different settings can be modified.
  3. [Optional] If the policy to be modified is not already in the Policies table, click Add and select a policy from the list to modify.
  4. Save the changes you have made.
    Once you change the settings on a policy, you need to save the changes to return to the policy set.

Results

The policy set configuration is saved with the selected modifications.

Example

You have created a copy of the WSReliableMessaging persistent policy set and named it WSRM_p1. You want to change the settings on the WSReliableMessaging policy that is included, by default, in the copy of this policy set. So you click your WSRM_p1 policy set from the Application policy sets window and then click the WSReliableMessaging policy from the Policies table. You can then alter the following settings:
Standard
The default setting is WSReliableMessaging 1.1.
Deliver messages in the order that they were sent
The default setting is false. Valid values are true or false.
Quality of service
The default is Unmanaged non-persistent
Save your changes and return to the Application policy sets window for the WSRM_p1 policy set.

What to do next

You can use the policy set as you have configured or you can change the bindings, attach or detach the policy set from applications.
Note: Because this policy set specifies managed persistent quality of service, you have to define bindings to the service integration bus and messaging engine that you want to use to manage the WS-ReliableMessaging state. You can attach and bind a WS-ReliableMessaging policy set to a web service application by using the administrative console or the wsadmin tool.
