For most target types, policy rules are defined and available out of the box for all the primary targets supported by Enterprise Manager. You can use Enterprise Manager to see whether targets in your enterprise (such as hosts, databases, and listeners) are following the policies for those target types. In addition, using a PL/SQL API, you can define your own policy rules.
Note: To learn more about defining your own policy rules, refer to the Oracle Enterprise Manager Extensibility manual.
The policy rules that Enterprise Manager provides to evaluate targets of different target types can be displayed on the Policy Rule Library page. You can also optionally disable or enable the evaluation of each rule on the Edit Policy Rule Settings page. When a rule for a particular target type is disabled, Enterprise Manager no longer evaluates targets of that type to determine whether they comply with the rule.
To access the Policy Rule Library page, do the following:
Navigate to the Policies tab. Click Library.
On the Policy Rule Library page, click any policy in the Policy Rule column to view the default settings associated with that policy rule.
On the View Policy Rule Defaults page, click Help for more information.
