Oracle Business Rules : File Type Rules Repository Creation Problem

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to create File Type Rules Repository(SOA Suite 10.1.3.3).
As per the documentation:user Guide
Oracle Business Rules supplies a blank file repository that does not contain a dictionary. This file repository is named "emptyFileRepository" and is located in the
$ORACLE_HOME/rules/lib directory.To setup a new file repository, copy and rename the emptyFileRepository file.
Then, provide this file name and location in the Repository Connect page
I did the same thing.I copied the emptyFileRepository and renamed the file.After giving the file location and click on the Create button it is throwing the error "Please provide a valid directory path." Please Help me to fix this.
The same kind of the question was posted on the same forum which was un answered.Please guide me to fix the problem.I googled a lot but no help found.
please route me to proper source.
Thanks in advance..
Regards,
ravi

I was able to create repository for business rules few weeks ago perhaps I was using an old version of the firefox, now I upgraded to firefox 3.5.7 and get the same error. IE 7 hangs, did you get a solution yet?
I am planning to downgrade my firefox and give it a try. Please update if you find a fix.

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.

Extracting rule details from oracle business rule repository

Hi,
Which of the oracle business rule APIs provide retrieving following details :
1. Get all dictionaries stored in the oracle business rule repository.
2. in each dictionary,
2.1. How to retrieve all ruleset list in a rulesets
2.2 How to retrieve all rules in each ruleset
This is because, I want to build a custom UI to display the rule details in the oracle business rule repository. In my case, dictionary, ruleset in a dictionary and rules in a ruleset are dynamic (administrator can add, update delete at ant time via rule author UI)
Appreciate your help.

Syntax errors in Oracle Business Rules carrental ruleset

Hi,
I'm using Oracle Business Rules Rule Author on Windows, version 10.1.3.0.0.
I'm working with the OTN carrental sample. If i load the supplied file-based repository CarRepository from the %HOWTO_HOME%/dict directory, navigate to the RL tab -> Generate RL-code and select the 'Check RL-Syntax' button I always get the same error message:
Error:'5}' is undefined at line ... column ... in [DM or vehicleRent]
If I navigate to 'Test Rulesets' i get the same error, no matter what testfunction i use with the vehicleRent ruleset.
When i test the sample with the supplied java code i don't get any errors.
However, if I follow the steps in chapter 2 (javaFact) or 4 (XMLFact) of the Business Rules user guide and setup everything from scratch for a filebased repository i get the same error at runtime.
I based the filebased repository on the supplied emptyrepository file.
Seems to make no difference whether I use a filebased or a webdav repository.
any help on this would be appreciated.
Rob

There are two problems here. First, there is a bug that causes this error string to be displayed incorrectly when using the RuleAuthor in any browser language other than English. If you change the browser language to English, you should see:

A syntax error is found. 
Error:'carrental.Driver' is undefined at line 4 column 14 in DM

The cause of this problem is that carrental.Driver class is not in the classpath for Rule Author. This isn't covered in the how-to. See section 3.10 in the Oracle® Business Rules Users Guide (B15986-01) (available from here).

From this doc:

Create a rule set you want to test. If the data model includes any Java classes, the
Java classes must be included in the OC4J classpath. The easiest way to do this is
to put the JAR files in the following directory, then restart OC4J:
$ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home/applications/ruleauthor/lib

or add it as a shared library using EM (specific instructions follow in the doc) and then add that shared library to RuleAuthor.

Oracle Business Rules with Fusion Release 4

Hi
I am wondering if we can use the Oracle Business Rules product with the Oracle Fusion Compensation APplication Release 4.
Thanks

Srinivasa,
There are relevant chapters in the Oracle Fusion Middleware User's Guide for Oracle Business Rules. There is sample code interspersed in the chapters.

Oracle Business Rules Custom Functions

Hi,
I have an input fact with attributes A,B,C & D and an output fact with E, C & D. (C & D attributes are common in both facts)
Whenever the rule matches, we are asserting new output fact by assigning a constant value to attribute 'E' and also the transactional values to C & D using input fact's C & D attributes.
This way, we are making sure to return the response with matched transactional values.
But we would like to do this by writing a custom function so that user need not assign this mapping manually whenever any new rule creates. User just assigns the constant value to attribute E but values to C & D attributes should be assigned automatically.
Please let me know your suggestions on this.
Regards,
KK

Hi Subha,
Please find the answers inline :
1. In Oracle Business Rules, can one rule invoke another rule?
-- > Yes, once a rule gets executed, it might create more facts, that in turn fire another rule. It all runs around the inout/output facts.
2. Can we make two rule sets dependent on each other?
-- > Yes
3. Can we return data of types String, Boolean, Integer, Double from a rule execution?
-- > Yes, you can use java code with functions.
4. Can we build complex logical AND, OR assertions in Oracle rules?
-- > Java programming language is needed for this..
5. Can we use custom business objects (not Java data types) within a rule?
-- > Dont think so

Using third party jars with Oracle Business Rules

Hi
I am working on Oracle AS 10g release 2.
We are using Oracle Business Rules in integration with Oracle BPEL.
While using third party jars however, Oracle Business Rules end is facing errors.
Error during unmarshallingProvider com.sun.xml.bind.ContextFactory_1_0_1 not found
oracle.classloader.util.AnnotatedClassNotFoundException:

Configuration: <code-source> (ignore manifest Class-Path) in META-INF/boot.xml in D:\oracleasr3\j2ee\home\oc4j.jar
Can anybody help in figuring out where Jaxb jars(3rd party jars) are to be kept so that OAS access it?
We tried using the applib folder to load the jars but we are getting class loading errors.
When new instances are created, class loading is not happening.
Pls help.
Thanks
Kavya

Are you using Application Server Release 3 or Release 2? There are different versions listed in your mail.
I think you probably want to add this as a shared library via EM and then import the shared library to your application with the application's xml config files.

ODI and Oracle Business Rules

Hi, I have a question that hopefully someone can give light to.
Our current requirement for an ODI solution is to have business users create or edit rules (not just table constraints, but actual complex business process rules) that they would like to apply to the data during integration. I was thinking of two possibilities for this:
1. Load a rule file in ODI and then execute the rules in ODI.
2. Use Oracle Business Rule.
Between the two options, which is most likely possible? I have yet to fully explore ODI so I'm not sure if both of these options are feasible. If not, can someone give me sound ideas to work on for this requirement?
Thanks,
Jason

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..

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.

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.
Edited by: Network22 on Mar 25, 2013 10:21 AM

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
