File extensions

Oracle Policy Modeling projects contain the following types of files:

 

File type File extension Description Location in Development folder
Project .xprj The master project file records the file and folder structure of the project. \
Microsoft Word .doc Microsoft Word files contain rules. \Rules
Microsoft Excel .xls Microsoft Excel files contain rules. \Rules
Screens .xint Screens files contain screen definitions. \Screens
Properties .xsrc

Properties files contain attribute, entity and relationship properties.

\Properties
Source .xsrc Source files contain rules or screens compiled from an external application. \Rules or \Screens
Visualization .dml Visualization files contain visualizations of the rules in the form of tree diagrams. \Visualizations
Test script .tsc Test script files are XML files which contain test cases and the set of outcome attributes that will be used by the test cases. \Test Scripts
PDF .pdf PDF files, such as policy documents, can be included as necessary in the project. \Documents
Screens .exs The EXS file is an XML file which contains information relating to the screen definition in the rulebase (ie the data about question screens, summary screens, data review screens and scripts). The EXS file only provides deployment information for Oracle Web Determinations investigations. \output
Language .stxt The STXT file is the XML language file which contains information on the presentation form to be used for all attributes. (For boolean attributes, this is the positive, negative, question and uncertain forms.) \output
Flows .flows The flows file is an XML file which describes any flows defined for the project. \output
Metadata .metadata The metadata file contains any metadata which has been defined about the project or attributes. This is an XML file. (Metadata information about screens or controls is contained in the EXS file.) \output
Rulebase .xml The rulebase file is the compiled rulebase file created in Oracle Policy Modeling. It is an xml file describing the rules and is required by the Oracle Determinations Engine. This file contains a definition for all attributes and rules (only basic attribute identifiers are available) and as such is the primary file which acts as an anchor for any other required files. \output
Schema definition .xsd The XSD file is the schema definition file which provides a definition of the data model for the rulebase project. This XML file is produced but is not used for operation of the rulebase. \output
Compressed (zipped) folder .zip

Building a project in Oracle Policy Modeling will automatically build a <project>.zip file in the output folder. This package of all of the individual output components of a rulebase is the preferred method of deploying rulebases rather than as individual files.

Additionally, any files in the include folder will be added to the rulebase zip. See Include extra files in the build.
