Extending Technology Packs and Cartridges by Replacing Stub Rule Sets

You can extend a technology pack or cartridge by replacing stub rule sets with rule sets you create. Stub rule sets have no default logic associated with them. When you replace a stub, your logic executes at the extension point associated with the rule set. Stub rule sets typically provide opportunities to extended validation and auto-allocation.

You give your rule set the same name as the original in the technology pack. When you install your cartridge into UIM, your version of the stub rule set overwrites the stub rule set installed with the technology pack. Because Design Studio requires unique names within a workspace, you must create your rule set in a workspace that does not include the technology pack project with the stub.

Alternatively, instead of having a separate workspace, you can just close the other project that includes the entity with the same name.

See "Working with Rulesets" for more information about working with rule sets.
