Task 1: Importing an existing rule project

To focus on the main purpose of the tutorial, you import an existing rule project rather than create one.

About this task

This tutorial provides an existing rule project, SharingZMiniloan, which has a BOM generated from a Java™ XOM. If you already have a rule project with the same name, switch to a new workspace before you start this task.

Procedure

  1. If necessary, switch to a new workspace:
    1. In Rule Designer, on the File menu, click Switch Workspace > Other.
    2. On the Workspace Launcher page, in the Workspace field, change the name of the current workspace to a new workspace name.
    3. Click OK.
  2. To import a rule project from the samples console, click Window > Open Perspective > Other.
  3. In the Open Perspective dialog, click Samples Console, and then click OK.
    The Samples and Tutorials view displays.
  4. Expand the Rule Designer section if necessary, and then click Tutorials > COBOL > Sharing a BOM between Java and COBOL application.
  5. Under start, click Import projects.

Results

The SharingZMiniloan rule project is added to the list of projects in the Rule Explorer.
