Service policy types and elements

The Service Policy Manager enables you to mange policies globally and individually. It stores predefined values to optimize performance, and you can use it to create default operation policies.

Service policies are managed as a logical hierarchy, allowing values to be specified at different levels and to have the values coalesced in a predictable manner to determine the values that will be used for a particular message. This provides wide flexibility in the definition of default values, and the ability to adapt to a wide variety of business and technical requirements for the definition of access rights, service level agreements, and service adaptations.

Name Description
Service policies Service policies typically have a multipart name, where each part is separated by a period (.) delimiter.
Global service policies Global service policies can be defined by you, and they have scope over all deployed services. They may be created, updated, queried and deleted by you. Global service policies are presented in all other subscription management panels, allowing you to override them. Global service policies are created by specifying the special service value ALL which is synonymous with all services.
Predefined values For the fast ordered retrieval of hierarchical policies, the Service Policy Manager stores the predefined values in the database as a number string.

For example, the requesters ALL and unauthenticated are stored as strings 0 and 00, respectively. The service ALL and operation ALL are stored as string 0.
