Here is an overview of the Business Rules Manager's functionality and interface.
As a web-based tool, the Business Rules Manager enables you to browse and edit business rules deployed on the WebSphere Process Server. Business rules are created by developers, who construct Decision Tables and If/Then Rulesets (Rulesets) that make up the rules. See cdev_busiru_dectbl.html and cdev_busiru_ifthenrs.html for more information. The tables and rulesets are set into a template designed to fit the need for that rule. After creating a business rule, its values (such as dates, times, amounts, etc.) are modified using the Business Rules Manager. The browser interface enables you to make simple modifications to the values of a business rule. The Business Rules Manager is targeted for non-programmers such as a Business Analyst who uses rules to run their business. This tool allows the user to quickly adapt to a dynamic business environment.
The Business Rules Manager uses a browser interface. The browser interface can be in any format and can include terminologies in the business domain that users are accustomed to using. For example, all variables are presented in either drop-down lists with specific values or input fields with constraints that are shown when the cursor is moved over the field.
