      3. Click Publish All to publish all the available policies - This will publish all the policies available in the "Available Entitlement Policy" to the PDP 
   3. The Publish Policy page appears.
      
   4. Here you can do the following by clicking on an option from each section.

      1. Select policy publishing action.

         Action	Discription
         Add Policy	The target action of the policy will be "CREATED". The works only for the initial policy publishing process. The policy will be published to PDP and view in the "Policy View" under PDP
         Update Policy	The target action of the policy will be "UPDATE". This can be used to update a policy which is already published to PDP. The existing policy which is in "Policy View" will be updated.
         Order Policy	The target action of the policy will be "ORDER". This does not work for the initial policy publishing process. This can be used to put the existing published policies in order. These policies will be ordered in descending order in the "Policy View".
         Enable Policy	The target action of the policy will be "ENABLE". This does not work for the initial policy publishing process. This will enable the policy to the PDP. You can display that in the action column of the "Policy View".
         Disable Policy	The target action of the policy will be "DISABLE". This does not work for the initial policy publishing process. This will disable the policy to the PDP. You can display that in the action column of the "Policy View".
         Delete Policy	The target action of the policy will be "DELETE". This can be used to delete an existing published policy in the PDP. The relevant policy will be removed from the "Policy View" in the PDP.

      2. Select policy Enable/Disable.
         • Publish As Enabled Policy - Allows you to enable the policy to be published. This is available by default when publishing to PDP.
         • Publish As Disabled Policy - Allows you to disable the policy to be published.
      3. Select policy order.
         • Use default policy order - Sets the default order of a policy as "0".
         • Define policy order - Allows you to set a policy order according to your preference.
