Assigning an action policy to an instance or component

Once created, you can assign action policies to application instances or selected components within an instance.

To assign an action policy to a single application instance or component:

  1. In the Application Profiles navigation tree, select the application profile for which you want to add an action policy.
  2. Select the component within the profile or the specific application instance for which you want to add an action policy, then click Edit Application Profile.
  3. Select the action policy you want to apply. If you select from the Action Policy list for the instance, the action policy is applied to every component within the instance. If you select from the Action Policy list for an individual expanded component in the Components section below, the action policy is only applied to that component.
  4. Click Save.

To assign an action policy to multiple application instances or components:

  1. Select an application profile from the Application Profiles navigation tree if you want to apply an action policy to multiple instances of an application.
    OR
    Select an application instance from the Application Profiles navigation tree if you want to apply an action policy to specific components within an individual instance.
  2. Use the selection boxes at left to choose specific application instances or components. Whether you select instances or components depends upon your selection from the Application Profile navigation tree in the previous step.
  3. Select For selected > Assign Action Policy and then choose the action policy you want to apply.
  4. Click Save.

Note: If you select All Application Profiles from the top level of the Application Profiles navigation tree, you also have the ability to apply action policies to multiple application profiles as once using the same methods described here. However, assigning action policies to application profiles only serves to modify the profiles’ settings in the event an instance is created using that profile in the future.
