The InitializeScorecard Rule Function

In this task, you configure a rule function that initializes values for the FraudCriteria scorecard. This rule function is used at system startup. You can configure that connection later.

Learning Points

What is a rule function?
 A rule function is a function you write in the TIBCO BusinessEvents rule language.
How are rule functions created and used?
 You write rule functions using the rule editor. You can use rule functions in rules and other rule functions, in event preprocessors (which are explained in the section Adding the PreProcessor Rule Function), and as startup or shutdown functions for an agent.
What other types of functions are there?
 TIBCO BusinessEvents provides a large library of functions for various purposes. In addition, an ontology function is automatically created for each concept and event in your project. These are constructor functions. Another type of ontology function enables you to create and schedule a time event. You can also add custom Java functions.
