Export business rules using the administrative console

Export business rule components when you have made changes to the business rule tables. This will create a file that you can import into your development environment, thereby keeping the development artifacts synchronized with the actual production system artifacts.

Before starting this task, you need to display your business rule components as described in "Displaying business rule components." Click Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers > servername > Business rules > Business rules.


Required security role for this task: When security and role-based authorization are enabled, you must be logged in as an administrator or a configurator to perform this task. When security is not enabled, you must log in to the administrative console with a user ID.

Procedure

    If you choose to, you can rename the files as you download them.

  3. Click Back to return to the list of business rule groups.


Results

The system saves the files where you specified. You can then copy them to your test system.
