Linking Rules File Configuration Overview

Define linking rule definitions or linking rule sets for a pair of models or a pair of resources in a linking rules file. A linking rules file is an XML file that contains a set of linking rules or that defines parameters associated with a rule set definition.

You can create the following types of linking rules files:

Rule Set Definition File: An XML file that defines a linking rule set for a pair of models. A rule set definition file takes a parameter file that identifies the pair of resources to which to apply the linking rules. A rule set definition file must conform to the structure of the rule set definition file XML schema definition (XSD).
Rule Set Parameter File: An XML file that specifies the pair of resources to which to apply a rule set definition. It also contains parameter values for connection names, package names, and string literals such as table names. A rule set parameter file does not contain linking rules. A rule set parameter file must conform to the structure of the rule set parameter file XML schema definition (XSD).
Rule Set File: An XML file that defines a linking rule set for pair of resources. A rule set file cannot contain parameters or parameter definitions. A rule set file must conform to the structure of the rule set file XML schema definition (XSD).

You define linking rule sets in rule set definition files and in rule set files. Rule syntax is identical in both file types except that the rules in rule set definition files can contain parameters. Create linking rules files with a text editor or XML editor.
