title: How do you use a KeyValueMap created through platform API inside a KeyValueMapOperations policy
body: <p>I created a key/value map using the platform API defined <a href="http://apigee.com/docs/api/create-keyvalue-map" rel="nofollow">in this doc</a>. I used the API-scoped url to create a key/value map named <strong>countrymap</strong>.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p><code>https://api.enterprise.apigee.com/v1/o/{org_name}/apis/{api_name}/keyvaluemaps</code></p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>and plugged in the sample weather api I made while following the tutorials.</p>
  
  <p>However I could not seem to refer to this map when I added a <strong>KeyValueMapOperations</strong> policy inside the API proxy. I tried adding a <code>mapIdentifier="countrymap"</code> to the definition (based on the <a href="http://apigee.com/docs/api-services/content/persist-data-using-keyvaluemap" rel="nofollow">samples</a>) but it still does not see it.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;KeyValueMapOperations async="false" continueOnError="false" enabled="true" mapIdentifier="countrymap" name="keyvaluemapoperations-2"&gt;
      &lt;DisplayName&gt;KeyValueMapOperations-2&lt;/DisplayName&gt;
      &lt;FaultRules/&gt;
      &lt;Properties/&gt;
      &lt;ExclusiveCache&gt;false&lt;/ExclusiveCache&gt;
      &lt;ExpiryTimeInSecs&gt;-1&lt;/ExpiryTimeInSecs&gt;
      &lt;Get assignTo="my.country" index="1"&gt;
          &lt;Key&gt;
              &lt;Parameter ref="apigee.countryCode"&gt;&lt;/Parameter&gt;
          &lt;/Key&gt;
      &lt;/Get&gt;
      &lt;Scope&gt;organization&lt;/Scope&gt;
  &lt;/KeyValueMapOperations&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The policy works if I add an <code>&lt;InitialEntries&gt;</code> definition to the code above.</p>
  
  <p>According to the Key/Value Maps docs:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Key/ValueMaps provide an API for storing arbitrary name/value pairs
    that can be access at runtime by <strong>custom policies</strong>, or for other custom
    runtime requirements such as protocol support.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Do custom policies include the KeyValueMapOperations policy? What am I missing here?</p>
