Rules Development Process Overview
Rules Development is a process that involves the basic stages that are explained in the following table:
Stage 1
Create a rule project that is used as a container for all data models, rule sets, decision entities, and other elements that must be available to all parts of the rule project.
For more information, see Working with Rule Projects.
Stage 2
Import an IS document type and map it to a data model, which is then used to define the structure and data type used in the rule creation process.
For more information, see Working with Data Models and Parameters.
Stage 3 (optional)
Create an action that you can later use in a decision entity.
For more information, see Working with Actions.
Stage 4
Create a rule set that is used as a container for all logically related decision entities.
For more information, see Working with Rule Sets.
Stage 5
Create and modify decision entities.
Stage 6 (optional)
Verify the created decision entities.
For more information, see Rule Verification Overview.
Stage 7 (optional)
Test the created decision entities locally.
For more information, see Local Rule Testing Overview.
Stage 8
Export and deploy the rule project to the Integration Server that is used as runtime environment.
Stage 9 (optional)
Export the rule project to the My webMethods Server Repository, where it can be accessed and administered by business analysts.
