Exporting business rules using the administrative console

Export business rule components when you have made changes to the business rule tables. This will create a file that you can import into your development environment, thereby keeping the development artifacts synchronized with the actual production system artifacts.

Before you begin

Before starting this task, you need to display your business rule components as described in Displaying business rule components. Click Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers > servername > Business rules > Business rules.

Required security role for this task: When security and role-based authorization are enabled, you must be logged in as an administrator or a configurator to perform this task. When security is not enabled, you must log in to the administrative console with a user ID.

About this task

To export business rules using the administrative console, perform the following steps.
Tip: You can also export business rules using the command line. See exportBusinessRuleArtifacts.jacl command.

Procedure

  1. Select the check boxes next to one or more business rule groups and click Export.

    The browser displays a list of HTML links to the business rule groups you chose. This is the Business rules export page. Each business rule group has a file extension of .zip.

  2. Download the files to your system by clicking each file name. When the system prompts you to save the file, click OK.
    Note: If you choose to, you can rename the files as you download them.
  3. Click Back to return to the list of business rule groups.

Results

The system saves the files where you specified. You can then copy them to your test system.

What to do next

You must import the files into your IBM® Integration Designer environment. For more information, see the IBM Integration Designer Information Center.
