Rulesets

This section lists the rulesets and ruleset extension points included in the data networking cartridges. Rulesets run before, after, or instead of the method identified by the corresponding ruleset extension point. You can view the details of the rulesets and ruleset extension points by opening the cartridges in Design Studio.

Table 4-8 lists and describes the rulesets and ruleset extension points that are included in the data networking cartridges.

Table 4-8 Rulesets and Ruleset Extension Points

Ruleset/Ruleset Extension Point	Functionality
APPROVE_DATA_NETWORKING_SERVICE_CONFIG APPROVE_DATA_NETWORKING_SERVICE_CONFIG_EXT	This is an empty ruleset that enables another cartridge to readily override it. The ruleset is called when you approve a service configuration, and it runs before the UIM approve service configuration logic.
AUTOMATE_DATA_NETWORKING_SERVICE_CONFIG AUTOMATE_DATA_NETWORKING_SERVICE_CONFIG_EXT	This is an empty ruleset that enables another cartridge to readily override it. The ruleset is called when you automate a service configuration, and it runs before any custom rulesets that may be in place to automate a service configuration.
CANCEL_DATA_NETWORKING_SERVICE_CONFIG CANCEL_DATA_NETWORKING_SERVICE_CONFIG_EXT	This is an empty ruleset that enables another cartridge to readily override it. The ruleset is called when you cancel a service configuration, and it runs before the UIM cancel service configuration logic.
COMPLETE_DATA_NETWORKING_SERVICE_CONFIG COMPLETE_DATA_NETWORKING_SERVICE_CONFIG_EXT	This is an empty ruleset that enables another cartridge to readily override it. The ruleset is called when you complete a service configuration, and it runs before the UIM complete service configuration logic.
VALIDATE_DATA_NETWORKING_SERVICE_CONFIG VALIDATE_DATA_NETWORKING_SERVICE_CONFIG_EXT	This is an empty ruleset that enables another cartridge to readily override it. The ruleset is called when you validate a service configuration, and it runs instead of the UIM service configuration validation logic.
