The rule logic is either a rule set or a decision table that is invoked at the designated time by the rule group.

About this task

To specify the rule logic for your new rule group, proceed as follows:

Procedure

  1. In the editor of your newly created rule group, click the operation that you want to associate with the rules.
  2. If this is a new operation, then it is unlikely that there will be rule logic defined for it, and you will have the following options:
    Option Description
    Create Operation Definition Click here to launch the rule group editor and specify the rule logic yourself.
    Link to Orphan This option will be available if you have already created an operation and deleted it. Click here to link to the rule logic that is still defined for the old operation.
    Once you have made your choice, the rule logic window will appear.
  3. Define the Default Rule Logic, by clicking Enter Rule Logic and either select an existing rule set or decision table from the list, or create a new one.
    Note: If you do not select default rule logic, and the rule logic that you provide does not cover all the possible cases, a runtime exception will occur when the current condition is not covered.
  4. Create your rule logic (you can create as many as necessary) by clicking the plus icon (The plus symbol) beside the Scheduled Rule Logic label, and either select an existing rule set or decision table from the list, or create a new one.
