Policies

You use the "Policies" panel to access the available policies. Policies are settings that affect the way in with tasks are performed on the z/OS systems.

There are two types of policies:

General policies
are provided by msys for Setup. These are always available to all users.

Service specific properties
become available to users that are authorized for the respective service when a product set with the service is created and added to a system.

Policies can be set at different scopes:

  1. The global, or sysplexes, scope covers all systems in the entire resource tree.
  2. The sysplex scope covers all systems in a sysplex
  3. The system scope covers a single system

    If there are different system profiles defined for the same system, policy settings always apply to the active system profile only. You have to set a policy at the system level separately for each system profile.

You access the policies differently for the different scopes. See Accessing policies for details.

A policy at system scope overrides the same policy at the sysplex and global scopes. A policy at sysplex scope overrides the same policy at global scope. Every policy has a default at the global scope.
