Define service policy rules
Service policy rules define the service policy goal to use for a single piece of incoming work. This is done by associating a transaction class with a Boolean expression. Each transaction class is associated with exactly one service policy goal. The Boolean expression can be customized to match any specific piece of work.
Define a service policy to categorize and prioritize work requests.
Optionally, we can add rules to the service policy. If the expression evaluates to true for a particular request, the policy associated with that rule is used. A work class contains a set of rules used to classify requests, such as an HTTP request or IIOP call. Complete the following steps to define a service policy rule. This is just one example of how to create service policy rules.
