Business rules manager

The business rules manager is a Web-based tool that assists the business analyst in browsing and modifying business rule values. The tool is an option of WebSphere Process Server that you install after the initial installation of the server.

Business rules are designed and developed in WebSphere Integration Developer using if/then rule sets and decision tables to implement their operations. The rule sets and decision tables are set into templates. The templates control which aspects of a business rule you can modify and by exactly how much. They define the structure of if/then rules, condition cases, and actions for decision tables.

The templates provide the mechanism for business rule runtime authoring in the business rules manager. Using the template, you can modify business rule values, create a new rule within a rule set or a new condition or action within a decision table, and publish changes to business rule definitions at run time.

Business rules are organized into business rule groups. These comprise rule books. Business rule groups are used to interface to and invoke rules. Rule sets and decision tables are never invoked directly.

For more information about building and deploying business rules, see the WebSphere Integration Developer Information Center.
