Using Dynamic Business Rules

Business rules often need to change depending on your business context and requirements. The Business Rules Editor allows you to easily view and change the business rules for each of your Oracle BPM Projects.

Business Rule Editing Modes

The Business Rules Editor has two modes: simple editor and advanced editorr. The simple editor is a UI which lets you define one or more conditions to be checked. You can determine if you want the rule to match all the conditions or any of them, and you must always compare a variable or business parameter to a constant.

The advanced editor allows you to enter PBL code and can therefore be used to implement more complex conditions.

Editing Rules from the WorkSpace

A web version of the Business Rules Editor can also be used from the Oracle BPM WorkSpace web application. To have access to the editor, a participant must have a role where a global activity has been defined with an Edit Business Rules implementation type.

This activity will be visible in the Applications panel of the WorkSpace page.

Versioning of Rules
Because dynamic business rules can be edited at run time, they are versioned. This allows the user to revert to an earlier version if a newly edited one does not work as expected.
Auditing and Rules
Every use of a business rule can be audited. You can control whether or not the evaluation of the rule will be visible in the audit trail.
