Associating Specification-Based Extension Points to Rulesets

You can create combinations of rulesets and extension points and associate the combinations to UIM specifications so that a ruleset executes at the associated extension point only if it is acting on an entity created from one of the associated specifications.

To associate specification-based extension points to rulesets:

  1. Create and configure a ruleset.

    See "Working with Rulesets" for more information.

  2. Create an extension point.

    See "Creating Extension Points" for more information.

  3. Create and configure enabled extension points for one or multiple specification classes.

    See "Working with Enabled Extension Points" for more information.

  4. Create and configure a ruleset extension point.

    See "Working with Ruleset Extension Points" for more information.

After you associate a specification-based extension point to a ruleset, you associate the ruleset extension point to a specific instance of a specification in Design Studio. See "Associating Specification-Based Ruleset Extension Points to Specifications" for more information.
