Exporting business rules using the administrative console

Exporting business rule components creates a file that you import into your development environment, thereby keeping the development artifacts synchronized with the actual production system artifacts.

Before you begin

Before starting this task, you should already have displayed your business rule components as described in "Displaying buinsess rule components."

Why and when to perform this task

Export business rule components when you have made changes to the business rule tables to synchronize your development environment with your production environment. This task begins with the business rule component display.
Tip: You can also export business rules using the command line. See "exportBusinessRuleArtifacts.jacl command."

Steps for this task

  1. Choose the business rule groups to export.

    Click the check boxes next to the business rule groups and then click Export. The browser displays a list of HTML links to the business rule groups you chose. (This is the Business rules to export panel.) Each business rule group has a file extension of .zip.

  2. Download the files.
    Click on each filename and the system prompts you to save the file. When prompted, click OK to place the file in your file system.
    Note: If you choose to, you can rename the file as you download it.
  3. Return to the business rules display panel.

    Click Back to return to the list of business rule groups.

Result

The system saves file where you specified. You can then copy it to your test system.

Example

What to do next
