Setting the Decision Table Effective Period

You can set effective and expiration dates to define when a table is active in the runtime TIBCO BusinessEvents application.

When you specify a date, you also specify a time, in hours, minutes, and seconds. If no effective or expiration dates are specified, the decision table is executed every time it is invoked.

You can set an effective date without setting an expiration date. Such a table takes effect on the date and time specified and never expires.

If you want to set an expiration date, however, you must also set an effective date. Such a table becomes active on the effective date and time specified, and remains active until the expiration date and time specified.

Procedure

  1. Open the decision table in the decision table editor.
  2. Select the Properties view for the table.
  3. Click the Calendar button to the right of the Effective Date field and select the date and time as desired.

    To set the time, highlight the hours or minutes or seconds and use the spinner to set the value.

    To clear a value from the field, click the red X button.

  4. To set a value in the Expiration Date field, use the same techniques as in step 3.
  5. Click Apply.
