13.2.10 Timecost.wmg

The policies in this group restrict all traffic to between 1 a.m. and 1:30 a.m. but allow servers in the
same location to talk continuously. This group uses the following policies, all of which must be
applied:
COSTLT20
Has a priority of 40 for NA and address traffic.
Disallow Everything
Allows no traffic to be sent. If WAN Traffic Manager finds no (0) policies where the selector
returned greater than 0, it defaults to SEND. This policy prevents this case.
NDS Synchronization
Restricts NDS_SYNC traffic to between 1 a.m. and 1:30 a.m.
Start Rest. Procs, NA
Allows all processes to start at any time, but WAN Traffic Manager must be consulted for each
*_OPEN call. It schedules the process to run four times a day at 1:00, 7:00, 13:00, and 19:00.
Start Unrest. Procs 1-1:30, NA
Allows all processes to start between 1:00 a.m. and 1:30 a.m. and run to completion without
further queries to WAN Traffic Manager. The processes run four times a day, every six hours.
The 1:00 process is handled by this policy; the other processes are handled by the Start Rest.
Procs, NA.

13.3 WAN Policy Structure

A WAN policy consists of three sections:
"Declaration Section" on page 314
"Selector Section" on page 316
"Provider Section" on page 317

13.3.1 Declaration Section

The Declaration section of a policy contains definitions of local variables and variables coming in
through a client request. These definitions are used within the Selector and Provider sections. These
variables are stored along with system-defined variables.
Variable declarations are separated by a semicolon (;). Multiple declarations for the same type can
be combined in one line or wrapped to the next line; they are not line sensitive. A sample
Declaration section is shown below:
REQUIRED INT R1;
REQUIRED TIME R2;
REQUIRED BOOLEAN R3,R4;
REQUIRED NETADDRESS R5,R6;
OPTIONAL INT P1 := 10;
OPTIONAL BOOLEAN := FALSE;
