You can copy IBM. and optionally customize
the rules to apply appropriately to your environment. The copy and
customize tasks can be performed as part of the initial Policy Services
setup, or the tasks can be performed at a later time.
The rule
threshold values can be modified.
The Manage Rules panel lists
all IBM. rules and all locale-specific rules (copied
from the BSNGLOBL rule template).
Because rules can be copied
and modified, you must be aware of the following possible copy and
modify combinations:
Scenario 1: Modify an IBM. rule now, and then copy
the rule to a new locale (or locales)
In this scenario, you can modify the IBM. version
of the rule threshold values.
You then copy this modified version
to one or more locales.
This is generally the most logical scenario
to follow.
From the Manage Rules panel, you perform the following
row actions in this order:
S - Select rule to customize
C - Copy IBM.xxxxx rule (to
another locale)
Scenario 2: Copy an IBM. rule to a new locale (or
locales), and then modify the copied rule now
In this scenario, you copy the IBM. rule from BSNGLOBL
to one or more locales and then modify the copied version of the rule
threshold values.
The danger of this scenario is that the rule template
remaining in the BSNGLOBL locale is now different from the modified
version of the rule in the new locale.
From the Manage Rules
panel, you perform the following row actions in this order:
C - Copy IBM.xxxxx rule (to
another locale)
S - Select rule to customize
Scenario 3: Copy an IBM. rule to a new locale (or
locales) now, and modify the copied rule later or not at all
In this scenario, you copy the IBM. rule from BSNGLOBL
to one ore more locales, but you modify the copied version of the
rule at a later date, or not at all.
From the Manage Rules panel,
you perform the following row action:
C - Copy IBM.xxxxx rule (to
another locale)
Scenario 4: Modify the original IBM. version of
the rule now, and do not copy the rule to any locale (or locales)
In this scenario, you modify the IBM. rule in the
BSNGLOBL locale, but you do not copy the rule to a new locale (or
locales). The rule template is now modified and ready for copying
at a later time.
From the Manage Rules panel, you perform the following
row action:
S - Select rule to customize
Scenario 5: Copy the IBM. rule to a new locale
(or locales) later, and modify the copied rule later
In this scenario, you copy the IBM. rule in the
BSNGLOBL locale at a later date. Additionally, you modify the copied
rule at a later date.
Remember: All Policy Services user interface
panels provide field-specific and panel-specific help information
when you press Help (PF1).
