Rules Engine Database Component
If you are going to install the Rules Engine, create the BusinessRules database component. As each Rules Engine instance starts, it registers itself in this database component and stores information about deployed projects and the state of business rules instances. When you modify a business rule, the hot deployment functionality in the Business Rules user interface enables you to deploy changes to all of the instances registered in this database component. If you install multiple Rules Engine instances, create a single BusinessRules database component for the instances to share.
Note: 
You do not need to create the BusinessRules database component since the Rules Engine does not need a database connection if it is excluded from hot deployment and does not use auditing. For more information on hot deployment and writing business rules auditing information, see the webMethods Business Rules documentation.
