context.
Note: All CLI commands cache changes. For this reason, sometimes when you make a change in a
particular context, the change may not be visible immediately. If this happens, you must exit and re-
enter the context in order to ensure that the database is synchronized with the latest change.
Note: The policy context was introduced with V7.0.
