Portal, V6.1
Prerequisites
You can create policies before creating applications or vice versa; the sequence does not matter. Before you start, make certain that you understand basic concepts and that you have identified the application requirements of your work site. An analysis of the data elements that create effective business rules for managing applications is essential. Before you begin to work with policies for composite applications, you might want to complete the following tasks:
- Understand the general concepts for managing portal resources with policies. Remember that when you work with policies you use the
Personalization Editor to create, select, and edit business rules; and you use Resource Permissions to assign access to users of policies and business rules.- Review the policy settings for composite applications to understand the application conditions that policies will monitor.
- Consider the types of applications that are deployed in your enterprise and the users who work with them. Preliminary analysis will help you identify the application templates for various application categories that create. It will also help you identify the attribute values that you will need for conditional expressions in the business rules that you create for application policies.
- Refer to the simple example at the end of this topic to see how a policy rule expresses conditions using the Policy Selection Attribute and how the Policy Selection Attribute is specified as an application parameter in application templates.
