Create a new rule from a template in the rule set editor
Rules can be created from existing templates. In this way, you can create a similar rule without having to redefine the implementation, and by making changes to the parameters within the constraints specified.
Business rules based on templates are dynamically modifiable in the runtime environment. The parameters of the rule can be modified within certain constraints. Base your rule on a template if you want to give your business analyst the ability to modify the parameters of a rule without involving the integration developer. To use a template to create a new rule in the rule set editor, proceed as follows:
Procedure
- In the rule set editor, click the Add Template
rule icon (
). A drop down
list appears showing all available templates.
- From the list, click the appropriate template. A new rule appears.
- In the Presentation row, define the parameters by clicking Enter Value. If there is an enumeration constraint in effect, a menu will appear showing your available options. Otherwise, you may enter a value directly.
