Amazon EventBridge policy
An Amazon EventBridge policy contains the connection details that are used by an Amazon EventBridge Input node or an Amazon EventBridge Request node when connecting to an Amazon EventBridge application.
You can use an Amazon EventBridge Input node in a message flow to accept input from Amazon EventBridge. You can use the node to monitor Amazon EventBridge for new objects, such as AWS events or custom events. Use an Amazon EventBridge Request node in a message flow to connect IBM® App Connect Enterprise to Amazon EventBridge and issue requests to create, retrieve, send, and delete objects such as events and event buses. The Amazon EventBridge policy controls, at run time, access to the Amazon EventBridge application.
The Amazon EventBridge policy is created when you
configure a connection between an Amazon EventBridge Input node
or Amazon EventBridge Request node and Amazon EventBridge by using the Connector Discovery wizard.
During the process of discovery, account credentials are stored in the vault and connection details
are stored in an Amazon EventBridge policy. The policy is
created with a type of Amazon EventBridge, and the name of the policy is returned
to the Amazon EventBridge Request node and specified in the
Connection tab, in the format
{policyProjectName}:policyName.
You can also create, update, or delete an Amazon EventBridge policy by using the Manage Discovery Connector Policies and Credentials wizard, which you can access by right-clicking the policy project in the IBM App Connect Enterprise Toolkit and then clicking .
You must deploy this policy before message flows that use the policy are started. If you redeploy an Amazon EventBridge policy, all message flows that are using the policy are stopped and restarted.
