Business Rules Overview

The core processing within the Oracle Insurance Policy Administration (OIPA) system is controlled by a set of rules.  Rules are used to configure business processing.  They control the creation, display and validation of screens and provide the means for displaying, entering, and processing transactions.  OIPA rules are stored to the database in XML, but the Rules Palette has mitigated the need to know XML by providing visual editors that create the XML for you.  

Some rules still must be configured in XML and the Rules Palette has a built in XML Editor that can be used in conjunction with the V9 XML Configuration Guide.  View the V9 XML Configuration topic in this help system for additional information.

Important: For any configuration in the Rules Palette, if you do not find the element or attribute that is necessary for your configuration, you can manually configure it in the appropriate XML Source Pane.
