Steps to Optimize Business Rules

To optimize business rules:

1. From the Planning Application Activity Report, find out which business rules are taking the longest time to execute (see Viewing Activity Reports in Administering Planning).

2. Clone the application from the production service instance to the test service instance.

3. For each slow-running business rule, complete the following steps:

   • Run the business rule from Calculation Manager (see Running a Business Rule).
   • Use the Log Messages in Calculation Manager to identify what steps in the rule are taking the longest time.
   • Optimize the identified steps and run the business rule again to ensure that it takes less time to execute but still calculates the correct results.

4. Once the business rules are optimized, migrate the changes back to the production service instance.
