Greenhouse policy

A Greenhouse policy contains the connection details that are used by a Greenhouse Input or Greenhouse Request node when connecting to Greenhouse.

You can use a Greenhouse Request node in a message flow to connect IBM® App Connect Enterprise to Greenhouse and issue requests to perform actions on objects such as applications, candidates, jobs, job posts, job stages, prospects, and scheduled interviews. You can use a Greenhouse Input node to monitor and accept input from Greenhouse. The Greenhouse policy controls, at run time, access to the Greenhouse application.

The Greenhouse policy is created when you configure a connection between a Greenhouse Input or Greenhouse Request node and Greenhouse 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 policy. The policy is created with a type of Greenhouse, and the name of the policy is returned to the node and specified in the Connection tab, in the format {policyProjectName}:policyName.

You can also create, update, or delete a Greenhouse 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 New > Discovery Connector policies and credentials.

You must deploy this policy before message flows that use the policy are started. If you redeploy a Greenhouse policy, all message flows that are using the policy are stopped and restarted.
