Adding a Policy or a Policy Group to a Policy Group

After you create a policy group, you can add policies to the group. You can also add policy groups to a policy group.
Note: Oracle recommends that you nest policy groups only two levels deep.

To add policies or policy groups to a policy group:

  1. From the Policy Management section of the navigation pane, select Policy Library.

    The content tree displays a list of policy library groups; the initial group is ALL.

  2. From the content tree, select the ALL group.

    The Policy Administration page opens in the work area, listing the defined policies and policy groups.

  3. Select the policy group to which you want to add the policy or policy group.

    The Policy Administration page opens in the work area, listing the policies and policy groups currently in the selected group.

  4. Click Modify.

    The Policy Administration page opens in the work area.

  5. Click Add.

    A window opens, displaying the policies and policy groups available.

  6. (Optional) You can filter the list by selecting one of the following:
    • Policy — Displays the policies in the group.
    • Group — Displays the policy groups in the group.
    • All (default) — Displays both the policies and the policy groups in the group.
  7. Select the policy or group to add to this group and click Add. Use Shift/click to select multiple policies or policy groups. By default, policies and policy groups are added after the first item in the group; to change the insert position, change the value in the Location field.

    The policies or policy groups are added to the policy group in the specified location and the window closes.
    Note: Policies or policy groups are applied to messages in the order in which they appear in the policy group. You can change the sequential order (see Changing the Sequence of Deployed Policies on an MPE Device).

  8. Click Save.
The added policies and policy groups are displayed in the policy group tree. You can deploy the policy group. For more information about deploying policies and policy groups, see Deploying a Policy.
Note: If this group had been deployed previously, it is automatically redeployed at this time, ensuring the MPE devices are synchronized with the CMP database.
