The XML elements in the rule set file define the rules that Metadata Manager uses to link objects in the source resource to matching objects in the target resource.
Use the following required XML elements:
ruleSet
Contains a group of rules to link objects between two resources. A ruleSet element contains a required name attribute. The ruleSet name must be unique in the Metadata Manager repository.
A ruleSet element must contain one sourceResource element, one targetResource element, and at least one rule element.
sourceResource
If you link endpoints, this element defines the name of the Business Intelligence, Data Integration, or Data Modeling resource that contains endpoints. If you link non-endpoints, this element defines the name of one resource that you want to link. Contains a required name attribute.
targetResource
If you link endpoints, this element defines the name of the resource that does not contain endpoints. If you link non-endpoints, this element defines the name of the other resource that you want to link. Contains a required name attribute.
rule
Defines the linking rule. The XML attributes and elements that this element contains depends on whether you configure rules to link endpoint classes or to link non-endpoint classes.
