Business rule management programming
Public business rule management classes are provided for the building of custom management clients or to automate changes to business rules.
You can use business rules management classes in a web application where they are combined with other management capabilities for things such as a BPEL process or human tasks in order to manage all components from a single client. Any custom management clients can be used along side the business process rules manager web application included with IBM BPM Advanced. You can also use the classes to automate changes to business rules within an application.
For example, business rules might be changed when the result of a business process, which uses the business rules, exceeds some threshold or limit.
The business rule management classes must be used in an application installed on the process server. The classes do not provide a remote interface, however you can wrap them in a facade that is then exposed by a specific protocol for remote execution.
- Programming model
IBM Integration Designer business rules are authored with two different authoring tools and issued by the rule run time. All three environments share the same model for the business rule artifacts. - Examples
A number of examples are provided that show how the different classes can be used to retrieve business rule groups and to make modifications to rule sets and decision tables. The examples are provided in a project interchange file (ZIP) that can be imported into WebSphere Integration Developer where they can be browsed and reused. - Common operations classes
This section contains additional classes that were used in the examples to simplify common operations.
