2.1 Creating and Modifying Policy Projects

To create a new policy project and modify an existing policy project:
  1. From the navigation menu, under Policy, then under Policy Management, click Policy Projects. Existing policy projects appear in the Policy Projects area.
  2. To create a new policy project, click Create.

    Note:

    To create a policy project under PDS, you must add the PDS service on Policy Engine screen. For more information, see Oracle Communications Cloud Native Core, Converged Policy User's Guide.
  3. In the Create Project dialog box, provide inputs for the following fields:
    1. Name: Name for the policy.
    2. Description: A description for the policy.
  4. Click Save.
    The newly created policy project is added to the Policy Projects area.

    The State Transition for a newly created policy project is set to Dev by default and enables policy writers to create policies by dragging blocks to the work area.

  5. Change the state of the policy project to Prod, by clicking the Prod button, after all changes are saved and you want to evaluate the policy.

    Note:

    When the state for a policy project is set to Prod, user cannot add blocks to the work area. To make any changes to your policy project, make sure that it is in Dev state.
  6. (Optional) If you want to modify an existing policy project, select the required policy project, and then click one of the following buttons:
    1. Edit: To edit the name and description of the policy project.
    2. Delete: To delete the policy project.
    3. Open: To open the policy project and create a policy using blocks. For more information, see Creating Policies.
    4. Clone: To create a clone of an existing policy project, use this option. Enter name and description, and click the Save button.
    5. Refresh: To update the changes made to the Policy Projects area.
