Oracle Web Determinations is one way in which a rulebase generated using Oracle Policy Modeling can be used. Web Determinations has the following features:
Intelligent navigation of questions – Web Determinations makes use of the Oracle Determinations Engine’s inferencing capability, which provides intelligent rule interviews through its cyclical technique of querying rules and drawing inferences. By ignoring irrelevant rules the application asks only necessary questions in order to reach a conclusion.
Decision reports – Web Determinations produces automatic visual representations of decision trees generated during interviews. These decision trees demonstrate how and why decisions have been reached by reference to rules and their underlying propositions.
Document generation – Web Determinations can generate documents based on interview data and reasons for decisions.
Data review screen – Web Determinations maintains lists of screens visited during interview sessions. This provides rapid access back into interviews to allow users to quickly access and change data.
Built-in help/commentary – Web Determinations can include HTML pages which act as help or commentary for the application.
Interview saving – Web Determinations has built-in support for saving and reloading interview sessions. Users are warned if they try to navigate away from a screen without submitting data, to prevent the lose of data.
Customizable user interface – The web-based user interface in Web Determinations is customizable by rule developers.
To deploy an interview to Oracle Web Determinations:
In Oracle Policy Modeling, select Build | Build and Run.
In the Build and Run dialog box, select the option Run with Oracle Web Determinations.
If you want to completely replace the previously deployed version of the project (located in the Release folder), click the checkbox to Replace deployed version for project. TIP: This is useful in situations such as either using a new version of Oracle Policy Modeling or when using an updated customized version of Oracle Web Determinations (but note that this will discard any customizations made to the previously deployed version).
