Modifying a decision table record

You edit a decision table by directly entering the new value into the appropriate input field or by selecting a value from the field's list box options.

Before you begin

You need to be in the edit mode for the decision table you want to modify.

Why and when to perform this task

To modify the values of a decision table, perform the following steps:

Steps for this task

  1. Edit the value by typing over the existing value in the input field or by clicking the down arrow that appears in the field and selecting a value from the drop-down list.
    Restriction:
    • The initialization rule will only be displayed in the decision table if it is included in the business rule definition that was designed in WebSphere Integration Developer. Only one initialization action rule can be associated with a single template, but the action rule can have multiple action expressions in it.
    • The otherwise condition will only be displayed in the decision table if it is included in the business rule definition that was designed in WebSphere Integration Developer. You cannot add or remove the otherwise condition in the business rules manager; however, you can templatize the actions associated with the otherwise condition.
  2. Click the Special actions icon beside the field to open a list of available options for the field, and select an action, as desired.
    Note: Selecting an option for reordering the columns or rows only affects the visual presentation of the table and has no effect on the order in which the conditions and actions are processed.
  3. Click Save.

Result

The rule is modified locally and is ready to be published to the server. For more information, see Publishing and reverting business rules.
