Managing Web Service Policies 7-17 Versioning Web Service Policies Whenever a change to a policy is saved, this results in a new version of the policy being automatically created and the version number being incremented. The Policy Manager maintains the history of these changes, and you can go back to an earlier version. For example, you might find it useful to create two different versions of a policy, perhaps one with logging and one without, and alternate between them. As another example, you might have an occasional need to use a policy such as oraclebinding_ authorization_denyall_policy policy with selected roles to temporarily lock down access to a Web service. By using the versioning feature, you can reuse multiple versions of a policy without having to recreate them every time you need them. The following sections describe versioning in more detail: ■ Viewing the Version History of Web Services Policies on page 7-17 ■ About the Restore and Activate Policy Options on page 7-18 ■ Creating a New Version of a Web Service Policy on page 7-19 ■ Restoring an Earlier Version of a Web Service Policy on page 7-19 ■ Deleting Versions of a Web Service Policy on page 7-20 Viewing the Version History of Web Services Policies To view the Web services policy version history: 1.
