Defining Data Manager Rule Sets

You must define a Data Manager rule set for any Data Manager rules that you want to process. You can also use rule sets to combine multiple rules in one run of the Data Manager engine. Rules in a rule set are run in the order shown on the Data Manager Rule Sets page. The first rule must complete successfully before the second rule starts. The system places the data from the first rule in a temporary table (assigned by the engine) that will be the source of the second rule, and so on.

Note: A rule must be in a rule set, even if only one rule is processed.

This topic discusses how to set up Data Manager rule sets.

RuleSet

A unique identifier for this rule set definition.

Sequence

Enter a number, such as 100, for the first rule ID in the rule set. The next rule ID to run would have a sequence of 200. The actual sequence number is not important; it represents the order in which you want to process rules. The sequence must be unique.

Rule ID

Select the Data Manager rule to include in the rule set. You create the rules using the Data Manager Rules component.
