Create decision table entries

You create a new decision table entry by copying an existing decision table entry and modifying its values.

You use IBM Integration Designer to design and develop decision tables. In business process rules manager, you can create new conditions based on the template definitions that were defined in IBM Integration Designer, but you cannot create new decisions. For information on creating decision tables in IBM Integration Designer, see "Creating a decision table".


Procedure

  1. Click Copy next to the scheduled rule logic entry for the selected decision table.

    The edit page opens for the new entry, with a title Edit Mode: Copy_of_TableName-Decision Table.

  2. In the Name field, enter a name for the new decision table entry.

  3. In the Display Name field, enter a display name for the new decision table entry. The display name does not need to be unique for the decision table. It can be any string value and can contain special characters. If you do not specify a display name, the Name value will be used for the display name.

    To synchronize the display name with the name value, select the corresponding Synchronize with the name check box.

  4. In the Description field enter a short description of the new decision table entry.
  5. Modify the values in each condition.

    Tip: To display the parameter settings for each value, place your cursor over a field. A rollover message, showing the type of variable and its range, is displayed.

  6. Click Save.


Results

A message appears in the message field indicating that the decision table entry has been temporarily saved and that you can publish the changes from the Publish and Revert page. See Publishing and reverting business rules.
