A CICS® policy is
an XML definition that describes the controls or actions that can
be applied to one or more applications that are deployed on a platform.
Policies can be applied to applications, operations, platforms, and
region types. You can query policy rules to determine the set of policy
rules that apply in a scope.
About this task
You can query policy rules for an application, operation,
platform, region type, or region. RACF® security
checking does not apply to query policy operations.
Procedure
- In the Cloud Explorer view, right-click the application,
operation, platform, region type or region that you want to query.
- Click Search.
- Click the resulting option, which corresponds to the item
you want to query. Possible options include:
- Policy rules for application
- Policy rules for operation
- Policy rules for platform
- Policy rules for region type
- Policy rules for region only
Results
The results of the query are displayed in the Search view.
You can see the rules within the scope of the query, and from the
rules you can determine the name of the policy from which each rule
is deployed. The policy information contains the policy names and
policy rules. Because multiple policy scopes can apply at run time,
the query might return more rules than you expect. For more information
about policy scopes, see
Policy scopes.
What to do next
If you want to edit the policy rules, note the policy name,
navigate to the
xxx.policy file
in the Project Explorer view, and edit it by using the XML editor
as described in
Adding rules to a policy in a CICS Bundle project.
