DataDictionaryEnforcement

Description

This business rule is used to enforce the level at which commonly used MathVariables and field names are used in transactions and business rules. There are certain compliance settings that control the users ability to use or create new MathVariables and fields.

Note:

Data dictionary enforcement is turned on/off by a Rules Palette system property.
When DataDictionaryEnforcement is turned on, if the user checks-in or checks-out a rule, fields and logged math variables must be included in the Data Dictionary. If they are not they will be displayed in the DataDictionary Error Window.
Configuration in the DataDictionaryEnforcement business rule determines how non-logged math variables are treated during check-in.
When Data Dictionary enforcement is turned off, changes in this rule have no affect on check-in.
