Managing policies

A policy contains a set of statements written in either the Impact Policy Language (IPL) or JavaScript.

Each statement is an instruction that describes a task to perform when certain events or status conditions occur in your environment. Instructions can be for high-level or low-level tasks. A single implementation of Netcool®/Impact can have any number of associated policies.

An example of a high-level task is Send an event to the Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer. An example of a low-level task is Store a value in the internal MyDate variable.

For an example of a policy, see Policy example.
