Rule Specification Components

When you create a rule specification, you configure a series of shapes in the Design workspace. Each shape describes an aspect of the business rule. The top-level shape stores the name and the general properties of the rule specification. The other shapes describe the business rule logic.
The shapes below the top-level shape are rule sets. A rule set contains rule statements that define the business rule requirements at a low level. Each rule statement reads a column of input data and verifies that the input data meets the conditions that you specify.
The rule set that connects to the top-level shape is the primary rule set. The primary rule set summarizes the business rule. The output from the primary rule set determines whether each row of input data meets the requirements of the business rule.
The following image shows a rule specification in the Design workspace:
The rule specification contains a series of rule sets that analyze data inputs and that pass data upward to the primary rule set. The properties pane displays the rule statements in the primary rule set. The primary rule set determines whether each input data row is valid or not valid.
The rule specification contains the following elements:
  1. Top-level shape.
  2. Primary rule set.
  3. Child rule sets of the primary rule set.
  4. Property options on the rule set that you select.
  5. Rule statements in the rule set that you select.
  6. Rule statement that the system defines.
