Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product is provided for efficient policy rule update in a data management system. A policy rule is stored along with the attributes of a data object when the application of the policy rule results in action taken on the data object. A stored policy rule, called an effective policy rule, is subsequently used to restrict the number of data objects examined when a policy rule is added, deleted, modified, or otherwise updated.
