Defining Properties for a Business Rule Process

Properties are:

• Variables that are used either to facilitate flow of data in and out of a process or to store information temporarily for the life of the process.
• Either global process properties or local procedure properties. Global properties are available for all procedures that are associated with the business rule process.

The property name:

• Must begin with a letter.
• Can contain alphanumeric, spaces, underscore, and hyphen.
• Cannot contain other special characters such as an ampersand (@ ) or exclamation mark (!).
• Are case sensitive and limited to 75 characters.

NOTE:  If a procedure defines a local property with the same name as a global property, the local property takes precedence over the global property within the scope of that procedure.

This step is part of Process of Defining Business Rule Processes.
