Time required

15 minutes

Prerequisites

You must have Rule Designer installed to import and run this sample.

Description

The sample demonstrates the use of the valueinfo provider to populate the completion menu of a BOM member that has items that are stored in a database. It makes rule editing immediately reactive to changes in the database.

The sample covers the following operations:
  • Using a Rule Designer API to develop an Eclipse plug-in
  • Synchronizing a domain of static references with a database.
  • Connecting a valueinfo provider with a database for a BOM member.
  • Dynamically populating an auto-completion menu in the rule editor.
  • Populating a drop-down menu from a database.
