Manually Refining Event Policy › How to Manually Refine Event Policy › Manage Manual Event Policies

Manage Manual Event Policies

As long as you copy the deployed policy file for manually refined event policies to the SOI_HOME\resources\EventManagement\ExternalPolicies directory, they appear in the External Policies folder on the Events tab. Policies in this folder do not support management operations in the Event Policies dialog. You manually manage refined policies directly in the file system.

To undeploy a manual policy, remove the policy extension from the SOI_HOME\resources\Core\Catalogpolicy\extensions, retain the policy in a separate directory for future redeployment, and restart the affected connector. To redeploy the same policy, copy the file back into the extensions directory and restart the affected connector or plug-in service.

To delete a manual policy, delete the policy file from the SOI_HOME\resources\Core\Catalogpolicy\extensions directory.

To change the connectors on which the policy is deployed, perform one of the following actions:

• Change the connectorname_policy prefix in the deployed policy file name to match the name of the policy file for the new target connector. Restart both affected connectors (the previous and new deployment).
• Clone the event policy file. Change its file name prefix to match the name of the policy file for the new target connector. Restart the connector service.

Note: These instructions assume that the new target connector exists on the same system as the current target connector. If the new connector is on a different system, perform these actions across systems.
