When you create a new policy or import a policy, the policy exists in the BSM Connector policy repository but does not function yet. You must first activate the policy for it to start accessing the corresponding data source.
When you edit an existing, active policy, the previous version of the policy remains active on the BSM Connector server and you must reactivate the policy for your changes to take effect.
When you deactivate a policy, the policy remains in the BSM Connector policy repository but does not function until it is activated again.
In the list of policies in the BSM Connector user interface, select the policies that you want to activate. The activation state of at least one of the selected policies must be deactivated
