OIRW Release Notes 12.2.0.0

Content search (XML Data)

The XML Data Content Search feature introduces advanced search capabilities within the Insurance Rules Workbench, enabling users to locate business rules based on XML configuration content, including XML element names, attribute names, and text values. This enhancement improves rule discovery and analysis by allowing users to perform targeted searches across rule configurations using flexible search criteria and scoped filtering options.

With this feature, organisations can configure the system to:

  • Perform searches using plain text and wildcard-based search patterns

  • Execute partial and case-insensitive searches across XML content

  • Narrow search results using Entity and Sub-Entity combinations for faster and more relevant rule identification

  • Access rule configurations directly from search results through clickable Override hyperlinks.

The Search Criteria field is now mandatory, ensuring meaningful searches before execution. If the field is left blank, the system prevents the search and displays an appropriate validation message to guide the user.

Search results are displayed in a structured table containing:

  • Global Rule

  • Rule Name

  • Rule Type

  • Override Level

  • Overrides

The results table also supports:

  • Multi-line text wrapping for long values

  • Infinite scrolling for improved usability when reviewing large result sets

Clicking an Override hyperlink opens a right-side drawer displaying the complete XML configuration in a read-only XML viewer with:

  • Syntax formatting

  • Horizontal and vertical scrolling

  • Options to copy selected XML content

  • Options to copy the entire XML configuration to the clipboard

In addition, users can navigate directly to the corresponding Rules page for editing through the Open Rule action. Upon navigation, the existing search context is cleared to ensure a consistent editing workflow.

Configuration updates continue to follow the existing Save and check-in process:

  • Save stores changes in a working copy without updating the database or activating the configuration

  • Check-in validates and commits updates to the database, making the changes active in the system

  • Changes that are saved but not checked in are not reflected in the database or runtime behavior

All configuration updates are logged to support auditability and traceability. The feature is fully backward compatible and does not impact existing rule configurations, palette versioning, or migration processes.

Product Copy

Users can now use the Product Copy action within the Insurance Rules Workbench to duplicate existing base product structures, simplifying and accelerating product configuration and setup activities. The feature is supported through a dedicated product copy model, providing a guided and user-friendly duplication process.

In addition, organisations can choose to perform an optional deep copy during product duplication, allowing associated configurations such as rules, documents, and related entities to be copied along with the base product structure. This enhancement improves reusability, reduces manual configuration effort, and helps maintain consistency across similar product implementations.

Plan Copy

Users can now use the Plan Copy action within the Insurance Rules Workbench to duplicate existing plan structures, simplifying and accelerating plan configuration and setup activities. The feature is supported through a dedicated Plan Copy model, providing a guided and streamlined duplication process.

In addition, organisations can choose to perform an optional deep copy during plan duplication, allowing associated configurations such as rules and related entities to be copied along with the base plan structure. This enhancement reduces manual configuration effort, improves reusability, and helps maintain consistency across similar plan implementations.

XML Schema validation for rules

Users can now perform XML Schema Validation within OIPA Insurance Rules Workbench (OIRW) using a user-triggered XSD-based validation process, improving XML configuration accuracy and reducing configuration errors during rule development.

With this enhancement, organisations can:

  • Validate XML configurations independently using XML Schema Definition (XSD)-based validation

  • Identify configuration errors and warnings before Save or Check-in operations

  • Review validation results in a dedicated validation drawer

  • Improve configuration quality without interrupting existing workflows

In addition, XML validation is now fully decoupled from the existing Save and Check-in workflow, allowing configurators to validate XML content independently without delaying or disrupting ongoing configuration activities.

The validation drawer provides a centralised view of:

  • Validation errors

  • Warning messages

  • Detailed feedback to help users quickly identify and resolve XML configuration issues

This enhancement improves the overall configurator experience by providing immediate validation feedback while maintaining workflow flexibility and efficiency.

The feature is fully backward compatible and does not impact the following:

  • Database structures

  • APIs

  • ODS functionality

  • Existing rule configuration processes or integrations

Detached Migration

Users can now perform Detached Migration directly within the Oracle Insurance Rules Workbench through a newly introduced dedicated migration screen available under the Tools menu after selecting an environment.

The feature enables users to upload release packages and build directories, provide deployment details such as package name, SCM label, and comments; and validate Release Packages prior to deployment. During validation, the system automatically identifies rule conflicts across Insert, Update, and Delete actions and displays conflict details, including Rule Name, Rule Type, Source GUID, and Target GUID, allowing users to review and confirm deployment decisions before proceeding.

If no conflicts are identified, the system displays a successful validation message and enables deployment. Upon successful deployment, users receive a confirmation notification indicating completion of the Detached Migration process.

This enhancement improves deployment governance, reduces migration risks through pre-deployment conflict validation, and provides a more streamlined and transparent release deployment experience within the Oracle Insurance Rules Workbench.

Deployment Rollback

Introduced rollback support for deployed release packages in target environments within Release Management. Rolled back packages are moved from the Deployed folder to the Promoted folder, with rollback allowed only in reverse deployment order. Rollback is not supported in source environments, and detached migrations cannot be rolled back directly.

Debugger Service - Redesign

This release introduces expanded remote debugging capabilities, improved environment configuration options, enhanced breakpoint handling, and streamlined transaction debugging workflows within Rules Workbench and OIPA. It also includes improvements to EventList and ContextList visibility, support for environment-specific debugging controls, and enhanced deployment/release management configuration.
