ACTIVATE POLICYSET (Activate a New Policy Set)

Use this command to copy the contents of a policy set to the ACTIVE policy set for the domain. The server uses the rules in the ACTIVE policy set to manage client operations in the domain. You can define multiple policy sets for a policy domain, but only one policy set can be active. The current ACTIVE policy set is replaced by the one you specify when you issue this command. You can modify the ACTIVE policy set only by activating another policy set.

Before activating a policy set, check that the policy set is complete and valid by using the VALIDATE POLICYSET command.

The ACTIVATE POLICYSET command fails if the following conditions exist:

The ACTIVE policy set and the last activated policy set are not necessarily identical. You can modify the original policy set that you activated without affecting the ACTIVE policy set.

Privilege Class

To issue this command, you must have system privilege, unrestricted policy privilege, or restricted policy privilege for the policy domain to which the policy set belongs.
