A business criticality rule uses a rule token, which becomes the business criticality
value for those resources to which the rule is applied.
About this task
A token can be constructed from resource parameters using variable substitution, which allows you
to combine more than one property value if required. Only one token should be specified.
A business criticality rule populates the businessCriticality property of
resources matched by the rule.
