Rule Management Application

The Rule Management Application (RMA) is a tool that assists the user in performing high-level administration of rules and rule folders.

This includes the capability to create, modify, delete, import, or export rules or rule folders. The RMA tool can be used initially by the programmer to define rules interactively, and then by the domain analyst for rule management tasks. The main window for the RMA is the Rules Browser.

The column on the left side of the Rule Browser window shows a nested hierarchy of all of the existing rule folders. Click one of these folders to display the rules it contains. The names of these rules appear in the right column.

Navigate as you would in a typical file-management browser.

  1. Click the "+" icon to expand by one level and click the "-" icon to collapse it.
  2. Click a rule or folder name to highlight it, right-click the rule or folder name to launch a list of actions, or select an option from the main menu.

RMA is designed to be a general purpose tool for interactive management of rules. Alternatively, you can write your own user interface that is tailored more specifically to the domain in which you work. For instance, a domain-specific user interface can provide more help to the user in the task of managing rules than a general purpose tool such as RMA. If you plan to write your own user interface, refer to the RuleImplementor of the BRBeans Javadoc for assistance.
