You can temporarily disable a policy to prevent it from executing. A disabled policy will behave as follows depending on the policy type:
- A disabled non-global policy fragment (for example, service policy or policy fragment) will always fail.
- A disabled global policy fragment will not be used—it is as though the global fragment was deleted.
A disabled policy can be re-enabled at any time.
To disable a policy in the Policy Manager:
- Right-click the policy icon in the Services and Policies list and then select Revision History. The Policy Revisions dialog appears.
- Click [Clear Active] to revoke the active revision. It is not necessary to select the active revision first.
- Click [OK] to confirm that you wish to disable the policy.
The policy is now disabled: the Policy Revisions dialog shows
"Policy disabled - no active version"
and "(inactive)"
is displayed next to the policy name above the policy development window.
