Policies reference
This chapter contains an overview of policies, references for detailed information about policies, and descriptions of the predefined policies included in this monitoring agent, if any.
About policies
Policies are an advanced automation technique for implementing more complex workflow strategies than you can create through simple automation.
A policy is a set of automated system processes that can perform actions, schedule work for users, or automate manual tasks. You use the Workflow Editor to design policies. You control the order in which the policy executes a series of automated steps, which are also called activities. Policies are connected to create a workflow. After an activity is completed, Tivoli Enterprise Portal receives return code feedback and advanced automation logic responds with subsequent activities prescribed by the feedback.
