Delete policies from policy sets using the administrative console
We can use the administrative console to delete policies from policy sets. Deleting the policy removes the policy that further defined the rules governing the policy set.
Before deleting a policy from a policy set, be sure that you no longer want the policy to be available to the policy set. Otherwise, consider disabling it so that it is still available to the policy set but not currently associated with the policy set. We can disable the policy and leave it available for the policy set by clicking the Select button by the policy to be disabled and then clicking the Disable button. That policy (and any configuration changes we have made to it) is still available to the policy set but is not currently included in the policy set.
To delete a policy from a policy set, use the administrative console.
- Click Services > Policy sets > Application policy sets > policy_set_name or Services > Policy sets > System policy sets > policy_set_name. The Policy set settings page displays a listing of available policies in the Policies table of the Policy set settings page for the policy set selected. If we created a new policy set and did not copy and rename an existing policy set, this table might contain no policies to delete.
- Delete the policy from the policy set.
- Click the Select box for the policy to delete in the Policies table of the Policy set settings page.
- Click the Delete button.
- Verify to delete the selected policy from the policy set.
Results
You have deleted the policy from the policy set.
Example
If we have a policy set containing a policy that you no longer want included in that policy set, we have two options: disable it or delete it. In some cases, you might want to disable the policy if we have configured attributes for it that you might want to enable at a later time. We can disable the policy and leave it available for the policy set by clicking the Select button by the policy to be disabled and then clicking the Disable button. But for this example, we have decided that the policy WS-Addressing is no longer valid for the custom policy set ABC_ps and you and to delete it. To delete it, click the Select button for the WS-Addressing policy and then click Delete. Confirm to delete the policy.
What to do next
We can now add other policies to the policy set or enable or disable existing policies.
