How to Activate and Deactivate Policies

When you create a new policy or import a policy, the policy exists in the Operations Connector policy repository but does not function yet. You must first activate the policy for it to start accessing the corresponding data source.

When you edit an existing, active policy, the previous version of the policy remains active on the Operations Connector server and you must reactivate the policy for your changes to take effect.

When you deactivate a policy, the policy remains in the Operations Connector policy repository but does not function until it is activated again.

To activate policies:

1. In the list of policies in the Operations Connector user interface, select the policies that you want to activate. The activation state of at least one of the selected policies must be deactivated or activated (reactivate for new version). (If you include an already activated policy in your selection, the policy is ignored and not activated again.)

2. Click in the toolbar. The activation state changes to activated.

Alternatively, right-click the policies that you want to activate and click Activate in the context menu. The activation state changes to activated.

To deactivate policies:

Alternatively, right-click the policies that you want to deactivate and click Deactivate in the context menu. The activation state changes to deactivated.
