# Deploy the PingIntelligence policy

PingIntelligence for APIs provides a `pi_policy.yaml` file for IBM DataPower Gateway sideband integration.

The policy has the following three policy assembly components:

* ASE Config: This assembly component configures the ASE connection and authentication parameters. It implements a set-variable policy that configures the parameters as runtime variables.

* ASE Request: This assembly component extracts the API metadata from a request processed by the IBM DataPower Gateway. It implements a gateway script policy in the DataPower Gateway.

* ASE Response: This assembly component extracts the API metadata from a response processed by the IBM DataPower Gateway. It implements a gateway script policy in the DataPower Gateway.

IBM API Connect provides different policy types to control specific aspects of processing by the DataPower Gateway (for example, to configure a capability for logging, for security, and so forth). The `set-variable` policy type helps to add or set a runtime variable. The `gateway` script policy gives built-in access to the DataPower Gateway to execute a specified DataPower Gateway script program.

The deployment of the PingIntelligence policy involves:

1. [Adding the PingIntelligence policy components](pingintelligence_ibm_datapower_add_policy.html).

2. [Configuring the PingIntelligence policy components](pingintelligence_ibm_datapower_configure_policy.html).
