Publishing and reverting business rules

When you save any part of a business rule group, the changes are saved locally. In order to store the changes to the data source that resides on the application server, you need to publish the changes. Alternatively, you can cancel the changes that have been saved locally to a business rule by reverting the rule to its original state.

You need to be on any business process rules manager page that has a navigation pane.

The server publishes changes at the business rule group and rule schedule levels. At the publishing stage, the business rules manager does not need to do any validations because the business rules manager validates all changes you enter on each edit page when you save the information.

To publish the changes to a business rule group or rule schedule...


Procedure

  1. Click Publish and Revert.

  2. On the Publish and Revert page select the business rule groups and rule schedules to send to the repository by clicking their check boxes in the left column of the content area. You can publish all the business rule groups and rule schedules together as a single transaction, or just a subset of them.

    To cancel all changes that have been saved locally to a business rule group or rule schedule and replace the changed resource with the original copy in the server memory, select the check box for the business rule group or rule schedule and click Revert. Business rule groups and rule schedules cannot be reverted after publishing since publishing changes the original copy that resides in the server memory.

  3. Click Publish.

    The selected business rule groups and rule schedules are written to the server memory.


What to do next

The business rule is ready to be exported to the data source.
