Viewing the completed tutorial

You import the answer projects.

1. Open the Samples Console in the en_US (American English) locale (see Running samples from the Samples Console).
2. In the Samples and Tutorials view, locate Rule Designer > Tutorials > Editing decision tables > answer, and then click Import projects to import the tutorial. Eclipse switches to the Rule perspective, which is indicated in the perspective toolbar.

   The Rule Explorer view displays two projects:

   • The Java™ project carrental-xom, which defines an execution object model for rule execution.
   • The decision service main rule project, decisiontable-rules-answer, which contains a complete vocabulary and a set of business rules. This project references the project carrental-xom.

   The decision service defines a variable set that contains the following items:

   • rental, which is verbalized as the current rental agreement
   • session, which is verbalized as the current session

   To view this variable set, expand decisiontable-rules-answer/rules in the Rule Explorer and double-click DT-AnswerParameters.

You run the tutorial.

1. In the Rule Explorer, double-click rule project items to view them in their editors.
2. Click Run > Run Configurations.
3. In the Run Configurations dialog, open the Decision Operation launch configurations.
   There are four configurations to run on four different user profiles:

   • DT-answer-Alice
   • DT-answer-Julian
   • DT-answer-Evelyn
   • DT-answer-Mary

   Look at the Parameters page and see how the session and the rental agreement are initialized by using the BOM function.
4. Select a user and click Run.
   The Console view displays messages that describe the actions carried out by the business rules in the project.
5. Select a different user and see that the output depends on the user profile.
