Creating a new policy

To create a new policy

1. Click CREATE POLICY on the top right. The CREATE A NEW POLICY page appears: 

   

2. Enter the required input as shown in the example above: 

   Field	Description
   Name	Select a name for the policy. If you plan to use the M9SAPI JCL interface for running policies from the mainframe, see Running M9SAPI to execute the policy for naming considerations.
   Description	Optional
   Execution type	Indicate the z/OS environment on which this policy runs, either an agent or an agent group. The agent must be pre-defined to the management server, see  Defining a new agent for more details. Assigning an agent means this policy will be executed on the LPAR in which the agent is active. Agent grouping allows you to span work across several agents, see Using agent group for sysplex support and load balancing for more details.
   Status	When ENABLED, the policy can be run automatically or manually. When DISABLED, the policy can be run manually only. Before deleting a policy, it must be set to a DISABLED status.
