Limitations

• You can't use a decision table. If you created a rule in an earlier version of Order Management that uses a decision table, and if you prefer to use Visual Information Builder to replace this rule, then use the IF-THEN-ELSE structure in Visual Information Builder to replace the decision table.

• Don't use Visual Information Builder and Oracle Business Rules at the same time in the same implementation. Use Visual Information Builder or Oracle Business Rules for all your rules.

• You can't create a global variable for use in a rule.

• You can't create collections of objects in conditions.

• Don't reference an object that includes the text _Obsolete when you create your rule. _Obsolete indicates that business rules might no longer support the object in the current or future update.
