IBM Supply Chain Intelligence Suite policy (deprecated)

An IBM® Supply Chain Intelligence Suite policy contains the connection details that are used by an IBM Supply Chain Intelligence Suite Request node when you connect it to IBM Supply Chain Intelligence Suite.

You can use an IBM Supply Chain Intelligence Suite Request node (deprecated) in a message flow to connect IBM App Connect Enterprise to IBM Supply Chain Intelligence Suite and issue requests to perform actions on objects such as catalogs, demand plans, inventories, orders, and products. The IBM Supply Chain Intelligence Suite policy controls, at run time, access to the IBM Supply Chain Intelligence Suite application.

The IBM Supply Chain Intelligence Suite policy is created when you configure a connection between an IBM Supply Chain Intelligence Suite Request node and IBM Supply Chain Intelligence Suite 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 IBM Supply Chain Intelligence Suite, 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 an IBM Supply Chain Intelligence Suite 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 an IBM Supply Chain Intelligence Suite policy, all message flows that are using the policy are stopped and restarted.
