Application/Service provider/Endpoint/Operation

Specifies a list of applications, services, endpoints and operations to which you can attach policy sets.

This table shows the service resources to which you can attach policy sets. Click Select for one these objects. Select one the following actions to configure the applications, services, endpoints, or operations and the policy sets that are attached:
Button Resulting Action
Attach Displays a list of sorted policy sets that are available to be attached. Click an item in this list to attach to the selected application, service, or endpoint. You can specify multiple services or endpoints.
Detach Detaches the policy set from the selected application, service, endpoint, or operation. When a service resource is detached, the following results occur:
  • If no policy set is attached to a higher-level service resource, then the Policy Set column displays None and the Bindings column displays Not applicable.
  • If a policy set is attached to a higher-level service resource, then the Policy Set column displays <ps_name>(inherited) and the bindings used for the higher level attachment are applied.
Assign Binding Displays the list of available bindings for the selected policy set attachment. The following options are also available:
New
Creates new bindings for this application or policy set attachment. After you create a new binding, the newly named binding is selected for the specified service resources. An error message is displayed if you select multiple service resources with different policy sets. The multi select option is available only when each service resource has the same policy set attached.
Default
Applies the default bindings to the selected application, service, endpoint, or operation. This option is always available.

Selecting an existing binding assigns that binding to the service resource or policy set attachment. If you select multiple service resources with different policy sets and you select a custom binding, then an error message is displayed. The multi select option is available for existing bindings only if all service resources have the same policy set attached.

Note: Each Assign binding option is restricted to use with direct attachments.
Policy set

Specifies the policy set attached to the service resource, if one exists. The value None is displayed if no policy set is attached. If a policy set is directly attached to a service resource in this list, then the policy set name is displayed in the Policy set column, for example, RAMP default. If no policy set is directly attached to a service resource, a policy set is attached to a higher-level service resource, the policy set name is displayed with (inherited) appended after the policy set name.

For example, if the RAMP default policy set is attached to the application but not to the endpoint under the application, then the Policy set column for the endpoint displays RAMP default (inherited). If no policy set is directly attached to the service resource or one is attached to a higher-level service resource, then this column displays None for that service resource. Direct attachments are links and inherited attachments are not links. Click a policy set name link to access the policy set.

Binding

Specifies the name of the binding that attaches to a policy set, if a policy set is attached to a service resource. Every attachment of a policy set to a service resource has an assigned binding. If the service resource has a policy set directly attached, then either the bindings name, for example, MyBindings1, or Default, is displayed in the Bindings column. If the service resource does not have an attached policy set, either a direct policy set or an inherited policy set, then this column displays Not applicable. If the service resource inherits a policy set, then the service resource also inherits the attachment, which includes the binding and its name. Otherwise,Default(inherited) is displayed. To view or edit a binding, click a custom binding name in this column.

Note: If you attach a new or different policy set to a resource, the binding reverts to the Default binding. The Default binding is initially used for all new policy set attachments.
