Figure 1. Business rules manager sequence of events
This graphic depicts how the business rules manager works. On the left-hand side of the graphic is the Editor (business rules manager). The middle shows the Server Memory that holds the Original Copy and the Local Change of the business rule. The right-hand side shows the database. The first step in the process label "1" is the first time load to the server memory. The second step shows the browsing and editing capabilities of the business rules manager. The third step is saving any changes to the Server Memory. The fourth step is Publishing the changes to the database.

After you log on to the business rules manager, the following events occur when you modify a business rule.

  1. When you select a business rule, the business rules manager accesses a rule from the database and stores it in the server memory as an original copy.
  2. The rule is available for browsing or editing.
  3. You save the business rule as a copy in the local server memory.
  4. You publish local copy back to the database.
