Preparing and packaging rules for .NET

Preparing for deployment to .NET
You prepare for deployment to .NET by creating a rule project and a .NET XOM.

Mapping the BOM to the .NET XOM
To map the BOM to the .NET XOM classes, you provide a B2X file based on a specific XML schema.

Generating a .NET DLL using the Ruleset Archive Assembly Packager
To generate a .NET DLL, you pass the B2X file to the Ruleset Archive Assembly Packager command-line tool.

Executing a ruleset DLL in .NET
To deploy and execute the rulesets, you load the generated ruleset DLL onto .NET. Your code references the assembly and instantiates the IlrEngineDefinition class. A code template is available.

Ruleset Archive Assembly Packager error messages
When you deploy a Rule Designer ruleset archive to .NET, the Ruleset Archive Assembly Packager tool might display error messages.
