Update Policy

Update either of the following:

Locked Policy: Most of a locked policy's properties are read-only. Use this endpoint to update either a locked policy's name or description.
Draft: In addition to updating a draft's properties, you may add or update a rule.

This endpoint will attempt to update a rule when a rule ID is specified and it matches an existing rule.

Request

Update a draft via the following request:

HTTP Method	Request URI
PATCH	https://api.vdms.io/rules-engine/v1.1/policies/PolicyID

Define the following variable when submitting the above request:

VariableA variable represents a value that must be replaced. A variable consists of either a URL segment (e.g., "0001" in /0001/) or a query string value (e.g., "3" in mediaTypes=3).	Description
PolicyID Required	Replace this variable with the system-defined ID for the desired draft. Retrieve policies and their system-defined IDs via the Get All Policies endpoint.

Description

PolicyID

Required

Replace this variable with the system-defined ID for the desired draft.

Retrieve policies and their system-defined IDs via the Get All Policies endpoint.

Request Headers

This endpointIdentifies a request's connection point to our REST API service. only takes advantage of common request headers.
