About Siebel Rules Runtime

Siebel Rules Runtime (or simply Siebel runtime) provides the communication mechanism between Haley Runtime and the Application Object Manager. Siebel Rules Runtime performs the following:

• Runtime Administration:
  • Provides configuration, activation, and inactivation of deployed rule modules.
  • Provides functionality for importing and exporting rule modules.
• Rules Invocation:
  • Integrates the Haley inference engine with the Application Object Manager.
    • Passes Siebel runtime data to the Haley inference engine.
    • Manages Haley's runtime knowledge base (an Application Object Manager instantiation), which it loads with rule modules.
    • Manages working memory which is used to load runtime data that the rule module is run against.
    • Handles invocations into the Haley inference engine.
    • Performs rule execution results from the Haley inference engine in the Siebel application.
    • Provides tracing and logging.
• Haley Inference Engine Extension:
  • Extends Haley Inference Engine to pass back the results to the Siebel application.
  • Performs currency amount comparison operation callbacks.
  • Performs Siebel extended action, predicate, and function callbacks.
  • Provides tracing and logging.
