Future of Oracle Business Rules

Hi. We are in a middle of a significant Oracle Rules project on 10.1.3 and have noticed that the Rules component of 11g (preview) seems to either be a) absent or b) subsumed into BPEL.
Can anyone give me a steer as to the roadmap for the Rules Engine - if it is "dead" then we may have time to switch to another platform to provide a rules engine.
Thanks a million in advance

Hi Phil,
Could you list the steps on how to successfully connect, read/write to a WebDav folder as a Business Rule Repository? I want to compare what you have done and what I have done and check if I missed something.
I have 2 installations on a single physical server: (1) Oracle AS Forms and Reports, it has an Apache Server and Webdav (2) Oracle SOA Suite, No Apache Server, this is where ruleAuthor is installed.
is it required to that I access WebDav folder using HTTPS?
When I access the webdav url using a browser, I get a 403 Forbidden error page;
When I type in the webdav url in ruleAuthor I successfully connect but when I create a dictionary I get the following message:
'RUL-01216: Error saving dictionary myDictionary. Please refer to the base exception. Root Cause: WebDAV error.
oracle.webdav.impl.DAVContextImpl.lookup(DAVContextImpl.java:1366) at oracle.rules.sdk.store.webdav.WebDAVStore.getCollection(WebDAVStore.java:1156) at oracle.rules.sdk.store.webdav.WebDAVStore.traverseMarker(WebDAVStore.java:885) at oracle.rules.sdk.store.webdav.WebDAVStore.traverseDictionary(WebDAVStore.java:848) at oracle.rules.sdk.store.webdav.WebDAVStore.listDocuments(WebDAVStore.java:808) ... 31 more any ideas?

Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

Problem in mapping Task payload parameters to Oracle Business Rules facts

Hi all,
We are using complex types from our project XSDs inside the Human Task payload. We intend to use these Human Task payload parameters to build routing rules using the Oracle Business Rules interface. Our observation is that when the complexity of these complex types increase, the business rules editor does not show these as facts that can be used in formulating rules.
Has anybody faced such a problem before. Any help is appreciated.
We are using the following link to add routing rules –
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E25054_01/dev.1111/e10224/bp_decision.htm
Version details :
ADF Business Components     11.1.1.60.13
Java(TM) Platform     1.6.0_29
Oracle IDE     11.1.1.5.37.60.13
SOA Composite Editor     11.1.1.5.0.01.74
Thanks,
Yamini.

Problem solved. There was an element in the xml schema that had nillable = true. Because of this the XML Fact for that element would no longer be available in the BPEL Process. Removing the nillable and generating the XML Facts again solved the missing variable problem.

Oracle Rules Manager vs Oracle Business Rules

Hi
Can someone explain the difference between Oracle Rules Manager and Oracle Business Rules.
Is Oracle Promoting both the products?
What I understand is that Oracle Rules Manager comes a part of the Oracle Database 10g R2 (and 11g) and Oracle Business Rules is a part of the SOA suite.
Is there any difference in the positioning of both these products?
Our client is evaluating various Rules engines in the market and we want to make sure that we choose the correct product.
Thanks, Srini

He solves the same problem with rules and without. My question was what would be better? Why would you chose one over the other. I prefer rules that is easy to state, easy to read, and easy to implement. Clear text rules in Prolog being a firm favourite. :-)
Using a rules engine, with a fairly complex API, in order to define rules? I would want very sound and very robust justification for that.
Taking this EMP table example. If there is a single AddEmp() PL/SQL procedure interface for adding employees, it is simple matter to see what it does, how it does that, and test and debug that. The only knowledge needed is the ability to read and understand the source code. The same cannot be said of rules engines.
As for the issue of updating AddEmp() with new rules. Edition redefinition takes care of versioning database objects. And in a far more controlled fashion than dealing with a rules engine that is dynamically update now! while the database is in use - and you have no real idea or real control over when exactly now! was.

I looked through the source code of one of our products that uses the Rules SDK to see if there is an easy-to-extract example, but it's far beyond the scope of a forum post. We'll probably create one or more blog posts that dive deeper into this topic, but I cannot promise a date for that. Keep an eye on http://blogs.oracle.com/fadevrel please.

How to add Exception handling in Oracle Business rules Function

Hello,
We use to have good number of business rules in our application. So we need to have some functions in BR Composite.
Can some one let me know how to handle exception in Oracle business rules exception( Regular try catch will not compile)
is there any way please let me know.

Why aren't you using por_custom_pkg.custom_validate_req_line to add extra validations.
Ensure that profile POR: Enable Requisition Line Customization is set to Yes if you were to use po_custom_pkg for Requisition line validations.
OAF calls por_custom_pkg at various points depending upon the values in Profile Options:-
POR: Enable Req Distribution Customization
POR: Enable Req Header Customization
POR: Enable Requisition Line Customization

DB Call from Oracle Business Rule +Java Method call from OBR

Hi,
1.We have a requirement in project where we need to make DB Call from Business rule.
We are using ORACLE SOA11g.
Is this possible.Any pointers on this will be helpfull.
2.Can we call java method from Oracle Business Rule.If so pls suggest how it can be done.
Thanks In Advance,
Oracle SOA User

You can implement java class to make database updates using JDBC. You can add Java class as fact in business rules and invoke methods as actions of the business rules.
Hope this will help.

Oracle RDF and Oracle Business Rules & Protege

A couple of questions:
1.) Has anyone used Protege to create frame-based ontologies which can somehow be used with Oracle Business Rules?
2.) Has anyone used Protege along with the RDF storage functionality in Oracle?
Thanks.

Melli,
I just started with semantic so won't have many useful ideas for at least some time.
mostly there will be bugs and misunderstanding on my part.
At this point i do see that the supplied library is not working properly . see my other thread. Fixing that would be really helpful.
Let me know
As of Composer - well let's just say its cost ineffective for organization to use on pilot project..
