Decision Table page
The Decision Table page contains the condition cases and actions,
their orientation (rows and columns), and the templates associated with that
decision table. You open the Decision Table page from the Rule page.
From the Decision Table page, you can browse or edit an existing condition
or action using a template, add a new condition using the templates defined
for that decision table, delete a condition, change the order of conditions,
change the orientation, change the initialization action rule using the associated
template, browse and edit descriptions, and save a decision table as a working
copy.
The page-specific information section of the content area includes the
following elements.
Decision Table section
Provides the conditional
cases, represented in the row and column headings, and the actions, represented
as the intersection points of the conditional cases in the table. You can
switch the orientation of condition rows from horizontal to vertical, or vice
versa, using the
orientation icon.
- Initialization Rule
- Shows the initialization rule of this decision table. The initialization
rule is invoked directly before the decision table logic is issued and can
be used to initialize variables and actions used in the decision table. The
initialization rule displays only if the business rule definition was designed
in WebSphere Integration Developer with an initialization action.
- Otherwise
- Shows the otherwise condition of this decision table. The otherwise condition
is a special condition that will be entered by default if no
other condition in the decision table is applicable. The otherwise condition
displays only if the decision table definition was designed in WebSphere Integration
Developer with an otherwise condition specified. You cannot add
or remove the otherwise condition column from a decision table
dynamically from the business rules manager.
Templates section
Facilitates creating a new rule
using an existing template.
