Google Cloud Storage policy
A Google Cloud Storage policy contains the connection details that are used by the Google Cloud Storage Request node for connecting to Google Cloud Storage.
You can use a Google Cloud Storage Request node in a message flow to connect IBM® App Connect Enterprise to Google Cloud Storage and issue requests to create, retrieve, update, and delete objects such as buckets, bucket ACLs, object ACLs, and object versioning. The Google Cloud Storage policy controls, at run time, access to the Google Cloud Storage application.
The Google Cloud Storage policy is created when you configure a connection between a Google Cloud Storage Request node and Google Cloud Storage 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 Storage policy. The policy is created with a type of Google
Cloud Storage, and the name of the policy is returned to the Google Cloud Storage Request node and specified in the Connection
tab of the node, in the format
{policyProjectName}:policyName.
You can also create, update, or delete a Google Cloud Storage 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 Storage policy, all message flows that are using the policy will be stopped and restarted.
