Add Initialization Parameter window

Use the Add Initialization Parameter window to add initialization parameters to a rule. The initialization parameters contain constant values passed to the Java rule implementor when it is initialized. Typically, the initialization parameters contain values that will change as your business practices evolve. These values might be the age at which a person is considered a senior citizen or the current interest rate for a loan.

To add an initialization parameter, proceed as follows:

  1. Fill in the fields as needed.
  2. Click Add. The initialization parameter is added and the window remains open to specify additional parameters.
  3. When you are finished specifying initialization parameters, click Close.
The following fields and options are available in this window:

Description

Use the Description field to specify a description of the initialization parameter. This field can contain any information necessary to describe the purpose of the initialization parameter.

Type

Use the Type field to specify the type of data that is contained within this initialization parameter. The data itself is stored in the Value field (see the following field description). For example, if this initialization parameter specifies the age at which a person is considered a senior citizen, then the Type likely is an "Integer". If the initialization parameter specifies a company name, such as "IBM", then the Type is a "String".

The following values are available:

Value

Use the Value field to add a value for the parameter. For example, if the initialization parameter is intended to specify the age at which a person is considered a senior citizen, then this field might be set to 62.
