Applies to customers who use Cloud API Management-built policies.

Normal flow

  1. It is always good practice and Boomi recommends releasing Boomi Cloud API Management built policies certified for a particular Local Edition in a non-production area/environment first. Migration of Local Edition product and Boomi Cloud API Management built policies that are needed for a particular Local Edition version must happen in lock step.

  2. You should deploy the policies build to your non-production environment once it's available for that Local Edition version. Pre-built policies are available out of the box with Local Edition.

  3. You must perform UAT and confirm the policies function as expected for the Local Edition version.

  4. You should update your support case once UAT is signed off. Boomi then releases the policies to your Local Edition production environment.
