IBM FileNet P8, Version 5.2.1            

The Rules Connectivity Framework sample

To integrate third party rules software with Content Platform Engine workflows, you must provide an implementation for the IFNRules listener interface.

The IFNRules listener interface is contained in the re.jar that is installed with the Rules Connectivity Framework.

The Rules Connectivity Framework contains a sample implementation of the IFNRules listener interface in the filenet\rules\implementation\sample folder where the Rules Connectivity Framework is installed. The sample rules listener will trace the transfer and rule execution requests that it receives from the workflow server. The sample is not a fully functional Rules Listener; it does not execute any rules. A functioning Rules Listener requires a Rules Connector and a Rules Engine that can be provided by a Rules Engine vendor.

The Rules Connectivity Framework installation folder contains the following artifacts:
readme.txt
Provides a detailed overview of the sample and the steps required to run the sample.
Sample.java and Sample.class
Provides a sample implementation of the listener interface. The files are located in the filenet\rules\implementation\sample directory.
fnrules.properties
A Rules property file that the Rules Listener reads to identify the class that implements the listener interface.
RunRulesSample.bat
A sample script to start the rules listener.
