Google Cloud Pub/Sub policy
A Google Cloud Pub/Sub policy contains the connection details that are used by a Google Cloud PubSub Input or Google Cloud PubSub Request node when interacting with Google Cloud Pub/Sub.
You can use a Google Cloud PubSub Request node in a message flow to connect IBM® App Connect Enterprise to Google Cloud Pub/Sub and issue requests to create, retrieve, update, or delete objects such as subscriptions, topics, and messages. You can use a Google Cloud PubSub Input node to monitor Google Cloud Pub/Sub for new messages and to accept input. The Google Cloud Pub/Sub policy controls, at run time, access to the Google Cloud Pub/Sub application.
The Google Cloud Pub/Sub policy is created when you configure a connection between a Google Cloud PubSub Input or Google Cloud PubSub Request node and Google Cloud Pub/Sub by using the Connector Discovery wizard.
During the process of discovery, account credentials are stored in the vault and connection details
are stored in a Google Cloud Pub/Sub policy. The policy is created with a type of Google
Cloud Pub/Sub, and the name of the policy is returned to the Google Cloud Pub/Sub node and
specified in the Connection tab, in the format
{policyProjectName}:policyName.
You can also create, update, or delete a Google Cloud Pub/Sub 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 a Google Cloud Pub/Sub policy, all message flows that are using the policy will be stopped and restarted.
