Policy Conflict

A policy conflict occurs when the actions of two rules that are both satisfied simultaneously contradict each other.

Policy conflict may happen in TIBCO ActiveMatrix Policy Director Governance if you attempt to deploy two conflicting policies on the same governed object.

The governance agent uses MergeCardinality and MergePlacement metadata in the Action definitions to determine and avoid a policy conflict. When you deploy a governance control in TIBCO ActiveMatrix Policy Director Governance, each governance agent receiving the policy configurations reports all policy conflict errors. The deployment fails and you can review and resolve the errors.

See Policy Enforcement for more information.
