The Project Explorer displays the BusinessEvents ontology. This ontology is used by the business user to work with a decision table. This is the ontology that was created in TIBCO Designer where all the models and rules were created.
Argument Explorer displays the arguments of the VRFs which are defined in TIBCO Designer. The business user can expand the entities (concepts or events) to see their properties, decide on which properties to use to make a decision, and drag and drop the properties onto the Condition or Action area of the Decision Table editor to create an implementation. Primitives supported by BusinessEvents can also be dragged.
All BusinessEvents validation errors are shown in this panel. The types of errors that may be displayed upon validation include language validation errors, access control errors, and so on. This view does not display information about errors resulting from abnormal execution of the application.
This panel displays the metadata associated with the various entities (concepts, events, rules, and so on) that compose a BusinessEvents project. This view is activated when you click on a project entity (concept, event, rule, and so on) that has property data associated with it. From the Property Explorer you can modify the effective date and expiration date of decision table entities only.
The domain model editor enables authorized users to define and modify sets of valid values for ontology properties. Users setting up a decision table can then select from the allowable values when using properties to define a decision table row. For example, the following figure shows how a domain model is used to select a value for a gender property:
Shows a list of errors, with convenience controls such as export, import, clear log viewer, delete log, open log, and restore log. You can double click on any item to display a detailed view.
Expand each set to view the functions. You can drag and drop functions onto the desired decision table cell to define a condition or action. When you float the cursor over a function in the registry, Decision Manager displays a tooltip showing the description and syntax.
