Is Business Rules = ILOG JRules?

Sorry for the newbie question:
Is Oracles Business Rules package the same as ILOG JRules?
If not: What are the differences?
Where can I download Oracle Business Rules?
If it is included in SOA Suite: Where exactly can I find Business Rules inside the SOA Suite installation resp. How can I call BR?
Peter

The oracle business rules engie is derived from Sandia Lab's Jess Rules engine.
Although the Rules language of Oracle Business Rules is called RL. RL looks very similar to Java and replaces the original Jess language, which looks similar to LISP and has been eliminated from Oracle Business Rules.

  • Calling a ILOG JRule based business rule from ABAP

    Hi,
    JRule is a BRMS product from ILOG. I have few business rules maintained in JRule and exposed as JAX Web Service. I was wondering if it is possible to call those rules from ABAP using client proxy similar to the technique used to call Enterprise Services or any other SOAP based web services. Any help is highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance
    Nilay

    Yes you can. Once you have deployed your rule app to the ILOG Rule Execution Server, you can get login to the RES and get the WSDL and then use the WSDL to invoke the rules.

  • Business Rules and iLOG?

    Has Oracle already acquired iLog? Is Oracle Business Rules based on iLog?

    To be precise Oracle Business Rules has been based on Jess. Concept-wise it is similar to ILOG but especiallly user interface wise it is very different.

  • Business Rules and BPEL integration

    hi
    can u provide me information on how to integrate Business Rules with BPEL. do provide me any documents related to this, if any.

    Hi,
    In the new 10.1.3 release (scheduled to hit the streets this summer) Oracle provides business rules support in the BPEL product.
    Supported in 10.1.3 are Ilog Jrules as well as Oracle's own business rules engine that will be contained in the package.
    More info on new features can be found in a recent web seminar for which the replay can be obtained here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/bpel/htdocs/webinars.html.

  • Where and how to create business rules?

    Hi All,
    1) Where and how to create business rules?
    2) How to configure Rule Engines (Ex: JRULE Engine or any other Rule Engines)?
    3) Whar products are available for Rule Engines?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    You have some options on business rules.
    If you just want to create business rules that are easy for business owners to edit without a lot of training, Oracle BPM has a simple business rules creation and end user edit capability. The benefits to using the rules that come with Oracle BPM are:
    <li> they are simple and easy to edit
    <li> end users can get up to speed quickly to edit them
    <li> when changed, the business process is immediately impacted
    <li> they can use the Oracle BPM business parameters that also come with the product
    Drawbacks are:
    <li> you can only use Project variables as the variable content inside of them
    <li> if a company already has a business rules engine, they are different that the company's standard
    Business rules engines have been used with Oracle BPM. If you are a consultant, first ask if there is a standard business rules engine that the company already has purchased that they use (e.g. iLog from IBM, Corticon...). If this is the case, you typically integrate to the rules using a web service interface that the business rules engine exposes.
    If they do not already have a business rules engine, consider Jrules. The benefits are:
    <li> it is a part of the Oracle BPM Suite that they might have purchased
    <li> version 11g of the Jrules is coming out soon with a friendly front end
    Hope this helps,
    Dan

  • Business Rules and BPM

    Anybody here knows the difference between Business Rules and BPM..
    We can do pretty much everything with a Business Rules Engine as we would do with BPM , then in which scenario should we use BPM and in which scenario should we use Business Rules Engine?
    Ofcourse Business Rules Engine has more complex set of rules than any BPM product in the market for .eg. ILOG Business Rules...

    BPM and a rules engine are different. Both are important, but they have different uses.
    Oracle BPM Studio is used by Business Analysts and Developers to model processes, integrate underlying components (including business rules) and develop user interfaces.
    There's an Engine that executes the processes that have been modeled. It sends the work item instances to the right person or persons with the right data when the work item reaches an interactive activity in the process. Similarly the Engine has invokes the underlying components specified in the process when the work item instance reaches an automatic activity.
    There's an out of the box Workspace runtime that lets end users manage and run their work item instances as they flow throughout the processes.
    We can business rules inside the processes, but one does not replace the other.

  • Business Rules Engines?

    Hi,
    I have experience with embedding "CLIPS" which is a C rules engine as a
    Forte Service Object which was easily wrappered using standard Forte
    wrapper strategy.
    Also, we have a sales rep in ATL who used to work @ ILOG and therefore
    competed with Nueron Data, and from various conversations with mutual Forte
    / Rules Engine customers I've learned it would be a complimentary integration.
    They all have some C-callable API and so a Forte Service Object would be a
    good client to the rules engine api due to our support for multi-threading
    when API is thread safe and additional option of replicating for load-bal
    when API isn't thread safe. The later concept is analogous to our use of
    DBSession object for interface with DBMS client api's.
    Be aware, the experiences I hear about with the mentioned rules engines is
    that there are not always business analysts truly capable of using the
    Rules development interfaces provided by the tools.
    So maybe the use of Forte Conductor's dynamic Process automation
    capabilities may also be a fit. If you want to discuss how, let me know.

    Has anyone on this list integrated a COTS business rules engine,
    or components, into a Forte application? Specific products
    of interest would be those from Neuron Data, ILOG, USoft
    or, possibly, Vision Software.
    If so, comments? Type of application? War stories?

  • Error while integration with ILOG JRule

    Hi,
    While integrating with ILOG JRules, every time I am getting the "Introspection error:" error.
    Please let me know any one have the solution on the same.
    ***** Could any one share me any document on integration OBPM with ILOG Rules engine.*
    Kind Regards,
    Ratna Prasad.

    Hi,
    Just a guess here. Been a couple years since I've done anything with iLog.
    Have they given you an iLog web service to hit? Is this where you're running into your introspection error?
    They should have given you a Java Jar file that might have included the ruleset you need to hit. Did you include this as an External Resource first?
    Hope this helps,

  • Error while selecting planning app in Business Rules

    Hi ,
    I am not being able to select the planning outline while developing business rules (but I can select the Essbase Outline). Whenever I expand the Planning node, an error pops up the details of which says "Error connecting to Essbase server machinename/testapp." There is a details button which says: "Could not log into Planning "Detail:Could not log in to Planning Server".
    Can anyone help me out. I am not being able to view the rules in the planning UI .
    I have tried for recycle the EAS even though i am getting same error.
    could you please let me know the solution for this
    Thanks
    mahesh

    Hi,
    Always follow this process, stop the planning service and eas service.
    Start RMI service
    Start EAS
    Start Planning
    Log into the web planning application
    Then go into EAS and create a new rule, select an outline to the application you have just logged into via web.
    Also if you are using the default admin user to log into EAS try another user that has been provisioned with business rules roles
    If you still have problems then go to My Oracle Support (formely metalink3) then have a look at doc id - 763345.1
    Ok?

  • Get cell value in Planning Data form and using it in a business rule

    Hi Everybody,
    if i set the data type of an Account Member as text, is there a way to get the value inserted by the user in a dataform, turning it as dimensional member and using it in a business rule?
    So, if the user insert the value "USA" in a cell, can i use any functions to tell essbase that "USA" is a dimensional member and then using it in a business rule, for example in a cross-dimension like Period1->FY12->USA?
    I tried to use the function @Member and it doesn't work, but i'm wondering if there is a way that can let me get the value inserted and use it just like a dimensional member. What are the ways that can let user input value that can be used in a business rule? I think one is by using SmartList, is there any other ways? Maybe using variables?? As an alternative i tried to use Prompt Variable but there are too many members on which the rule must run.
    Please help me, i wanna know if i can or not let the user input the member on which the rule must run...
    Thank all guys
    Bye
    Maurizio

    Thanks EW for your answer,
    YesI could use SmartList even if i think it's very tough to handle. My experience on using SmartList in caclc script is not so good. I try to enter in details of my requirement:
    I have 500 account members.
    For each one, I have to calculate the monthly budget by sharing the amount among the months. The user wants to calculate it on the basis of the actual flow(over the months) of an unspecified account of the prior year. The unspecified account must be inserted in a data form.
    So, i could use a Smart List but it colud be of 500 elements and then i should make a rule with as many IF as how many are the accounts. Or im wrong? The only way to use smart list dynamically in a business rule is by referring its values in a IF condition. Or i'm wrong.
    I tried to use execution variable ma it seems don't work. In this case the user must pay attention to write the account correctly, otherwise as you say the rule doesn't work.
    The value in PD0A020 is "PD0A000" (that is a dimensional member). The value in PD0A000 is "hello". In PD0A040 the rule returns "PD0A000" and not "hello" as i would. The function @Member appears to be not able to catch the dimensional member by the value in PD0A000.
    {Example}="test"->"Input"->"Scenario_test"->"FY12"->"PD0A020";
    Fix("test1","Input","Scenario_test","FY12")
    "PD0A040"=@Member({Example});
    endfix
    So, my doubt is: is it possible for Essbase/Planning to use the value inserted in a data form and to turn it in a dimensional member? What are the practicable ways to let the user input/choose the member on which makes the rule run?
    Thank you Ew, thank you guys

    OK I bit the bullet and contacted support on this one.
    There is a known issue with MDS 2012 and business rules with a combination of "must be unique" attributes. If you do not list the attributes in the same order that they were created you will get the generic error I cited. At first they told me it must be
    in the same order the attributes are in and that worked on one entity but not the other. The difference was that in the second entity I previously rearranged the attributes in question. Once I changed the order in the business rule to reflect the *original*
    order it worked like a champ.
    Hopefully this helps save someone some time and money.

  • Business rule takes time to open

    Hi,
    Business rule takes much time when trying to open it.
    I'm new to essbase. Can any one tell in which log i can get the information like why it takes much time like that.
    Thanks

    we are facing this issue for particular user. In the same system, we tried with two different users. for 1st user that BR is opened in a minute, but the same BR took around 20mins to open for 2nd user
    OS - Window XP
    EAS version - 9.3.1
    Example
    A is 1st user --> XX business rule took 1min to open
    B is 2nd user --> XX business rule took 20mins to open
    Here both the users are having same access on the BR and the applications
    Thanks

  • User Variable Options: How can I use them in a Business Rule?

    How can I use a "User Variable" set in File / Preferences in a Business Rule? It doesn't seem to appear as an Essbase Substitution Variable or as a Global Variable of Business Rules. The only way I know how to use it is to place the dimension on the POV or Page dimension of a data form, then use a Global Variable in a run time prompt to pick the member and run a BR against it, or some function of it.
    What do I do if I want to have that dimension in Columns or Rows? How can I set a BR to directly reference the member chosen under User Variable Options?
    J

    Thanks Alp, but I can't seem to reproduce what you are writing below. I want to refer my Business Rule to address the value set in File / Preferences / User Variable Options; no matter what members I show elsewhere in the data form.
    My other workaround is through a run time prompt and hope the user selects the appropriate user variable at the very bottom of the selection list in order to calculate the appropriate list of members.
