When you have finished creating a business rule in the InterChange Server Express Component Library in your local file system, you must deploy the rule to an WebSphere Business Integration Server Express instance to make the rule executable. During deployment, the business rule definition is further validated by the business rule engine. Any invalid rule or expression is reported on the interchange server log and the rule deployment fails. To continue, fix the problem reported in the business rule in System manager and deploy again.
When business rules are deployed, the server stores the definition in the repository and updates the rule engine so they can be used immediately.
You can deploy business rules using either the System Manager graphical interface or the repos_copy command-line interface.
