Microsoft Azure Service Bus policy

A Microsoft Azure Service Bus policy contains the connection details that are used by a Microsoft Azure Service Bus Input or Microsoft Azure Service Bus Request node when you connect to the Microsoft Azure Service Bus application.

Use an Microsoft Azure Service Bus Input node in a message flow to accept input from Microsoft Azure Service Bus. You can use the node to monitor Microsoft Azure Service Bus for new objects, such as new messages. Use an Microsoft Azure Service Bus Request node to connect to Microsoft Azure Service Bus and issue requests to create or retrieve objects such as accounts, allowed emails for SMS communication, contact lists, contacts, SMS, SMS campaigns, and voice messages. The Microsoft Azure Service Bus policy controls, at run time, access to the Microsoft Azure Service Bus application.

The Microsoft Azure Service Bus policy is created when you configure a connection between a Microsoft Azure Service Bus Input or Microsoft Azure Service Bus Request node and Microsoft Azure Service Bus 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 Microsoft Azure Service Bus policy. The policy is created with a type of Microsoft Azure Service Bus, 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 Microsoft Azure Service Bus 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 Microsoft Azure Service Bus policy, all message flows that are using the policy will be stopped and restarted.
