Administer business rules and selectors

Business rules and selectors provide flexibility in a business process by changing the results of a process based on a criteria. Before installing applications that contain business rules and selector components, install the business rules dynamic repository. You can install the business rules dynamic repository for a stand-alone server or for ND.

Whenever install a module that contains business rules or selectors or change business rules and selectors on the server, the updates are logged in the system log or another log that you specify when you configure business rule and selector audit logging.

• Business Rules
  With Business Rules you can view and change business rules within WebSphere Process Server to influence the performance of your business.
• Overview of selector components
  As businesses change, the business processes that drive them must change, too. Some of those changes may require that certain processes return different results than as originally designed without changing the design of the process. The selector component provides the framework for that flexibility.
