Publishing and reverting business rules

When you save any part of a business rule group, the changes are saved locally. In order to store the changes to the database that resides on the application server, you need to publish the rule changes. Alternatively, you can cancel the changes that have been saved locally to a business rule by reverting the rule to its original state.

Before you begin

You need to be on any business rules manager page that has a navigation pane.

Why and when to perform this task

The server publishes changes at the Rule page level.

To publish the changes to a business rule, perform the following steps:

Steps for this task

  1. Click Publish and Revert.
  2. On the Publish and Revert page, select the pages to send to the database by clicking their check boxes in the left-hand column of the content area. You can publish all the Rule pages together as a single transaction, or just a subset of the pages.
    Note: To cancel all changes that have been saved locally to a business rule and replace the changed rule with the original copy of the rule that resides on the database, select the check box for the Rule page and click Revert. Business rules cannot be reverted after publishing since publishing changes the original copy that resides on the database.
  3. Click Publish.

    The selected Rule pages do not display when you refresh the Publish and Revert page, signifying that they have been written to the database.

What to do next

The business rule is ready to be exported to the server.
