Configure a workload management policy within Integration Registry

Instead of defining properties on the message flow you can create policies within Integration Registry, so that message flows can refer to them to find properties at run time. If you use this method, you can change the values of attributes for a policy on the broker, which then affects the behavior of a message flow without the need for redeployment.

The workload management policy has the advantage in that it encompasses all of the properties available under workload management in one place, including the notification threshold and maximum rate, and therefore allows for easier tuning of message flow performance.

For more information about how the policy can be set up and administered within Integration Registry, see Integration Registry.

When a policy is created and deployed, it adheres to the following precedence rules:

• Properties that are set in the policy take precedence over properties that are set as BAR file properties.
• If a particular property is not set in the policy, the equivalent property that is set on the BAR file takes effect.
• If no policy is associated with a BAR file, the BAR file properties take effect.
• If the policy is removed from a BAR file, the BAR file properties take effect.
