The Policy Group screen is used to group multiple policies for use. Grouped policies can be added as a group in the API Proxy/API Proxy Group page like adding policies, or can be connected to API Proxies and API Proxy Groups according to a specific execution order when creating. Users can add desired local or global policies to the group with the ‘Add Policy’ button and arrange their order, and if desired, make the policy status active/inactive.
You can visit the Policies (Policies) page for policy details.
Policy Group settings are shown in the following images: Policy Group Settings Policy Group Screen The fields used for Policy Group configuration are shown in the table below.

Policy Group Deploy Operation

When any change is made to a policy group, the status of API Proxies and API Proxy Groups using this group changes to “Redeploy Required”. Instead of deploying them one by one, the “Policy Group Deploy” feature enables bulk deployment of all API Proxies and API Proxy Groups using this policy group to a specific working environment (environment). When the deploy operation is initiated, a confirmation dialog opens. This dialog contains the following information and options:
  • Policy/Settings Group Name: The name of the policy group to be deployed is displayed. This information is shown in the confirmation mechanism since it is a bulk operation.
  • API Proxy and API Proxy Group Selection: You can select whether the deploy operation will be applied to API Proxies, API Proxy Groups, or both. Both options can be selected.
  • Filter Option: You can select one of the following options to filter which API Proxies and API Proxy Groups will be deployed:
    • All: All API Proxies and API Proxy Groups using this policy group are deployed.
    • Only deployed ones: Only API Proxies and API Proxy Groups that are deployed in the selected environment and do not require redeploy are deployed.
    • Only deployed and redeploy required ones: Only API Proxies and API Proxy Groups that are deployed in the selected environment and require redeploy are deployed.
  • Deployable Object Counts: The number of API Proxies and API Proxy Groups to be deployed is displayed according to the selected filter option.
When the filter option is changed, the deployable object counts are automatically updated. When the deploy operation is initiated, the API Proxies and API Proxy Groups determined according to the selected filter option are deployed. When the deploy operation is completed, a results screen named Deployment Results showing the result of the deploy operation is presented to the user. Policy Group Deploy detail is shown in the following image: Policy Group Deploy
