How to set custom property to business rules in (ILOG) IBM ODM


I have a requirement to set a new property (example: unique ID) to each and every rule and access it from action part of the respective rules during the execution. For example: If the age of person is more than 18 then set the output to the ID of the rule.

(Here ID should come from the new property being added.)

I am using IBM ODM 8.5. Please suggest what are all the ways get unique ID from business rules?

In the B2X mapping of virtual method, I printed the rule.properties map using instance.getRule().properties. I was expecting custom properties and all other rule properties. However, the properties map only had a handful of following six:

key: ilog.rules.business_name value: test score

key: ilog.rules.package_name value: check score

key: requestorMail value:

key: status value: new

key: ilog.rules.package value: check_score

key: ilog.rules.group value: check_score.test_score


Solution

  • You can customize rule model with Model extension and add your custom property (YOUR_PROPERTY_NAME) to the rule artefact.

    You can acces this by adding a virtual method (static method in the BOM! don't use a xom! simply add it with the BOM editor) verbalized YOUR_VERBALISATION.
