Adding/Editing Rules

Rules can be defined in a number of places in the Configuration Tool:

• When rules are attached to a business object (see Business Rules as Carriers of Business Logic). There are several ways to invoke the editor of rules attached to a business object:
  • When rules are defined as process implementation or to handle process failure – see Adding/Editing Processes.
  • When rules are attached to a notification to specify what happens after the notification has been received or created.

Rules of a business object, process or notification can be managed on the corresponding tabs of the respective editor. For example, to edit rules triggered when an object is updated or created, open the business object for editing and go to the “Update Rules” tab. The following sections describe how to manage rules on these tabs.
