WebLayers Policy Manager

WebLayers Policy Manager ™ automates the definition, association and management of governance policies. Define policies once and deploy throughout the organization.

With an unmatched capabilities around design-time governance, WebLayers Policy Manager ensures what you're building will deliver the enterprise-class capabilities necessary to realize the benefits of SOA.

• Collaborative system to define, manage and share governance policies - Policy makers can quickly and easily define policies using an intuitive wizard-based policy editing interface. A single, logically organized, hierarchical system of domains and libraries provides enterprise access and management for all policies
• Dynamic policy association and classification - Policy makers can organize collections of policies into policy libraries. The libraries are classified so they apply to specific SOA artifact types via a configurable classification system.
• Federated policy management - Policies can be created for use across the enterprise or for specific groups. These targeted uses are known as policy domains. Configurable conflict resolution rules specify which domains take precedence when policy conflicts are detected.
• Extensive support for artifacts created throughout the lifecycle - Policies can be defined for the variety of assets and artifacts created at each phase of the software development lifecycle -from design documents to source code to service artifacts.
• Enrich Service Metadata - When policies are defined, you can assign quality scores that quantify the impact of non-conformance based on user-defined criteria such as security, performance, and interoperability.
• Certify Services - Services that conform to your governance policies can be certified before they are put into production. The quality scores are added to the service metadata in your registry/repository and provide better decision making to your runtime systems
• Test policies before going into production - Policy makers can assess the business impact of new or changed policies against the current artifacts, services, projects, and systems. WebLayers provides an Impact Simulation environment to analyze compliance results against a new set of policies without interfering with the production environment.
• Extend the capability of your existing SOA infrastructure - decouple policy management from the end point enforcement enables you to define policies once, and deploy where needed.
