Grouping BRF Objects

Use

You can group BRF objects that belong together in the business sense (such as events, contexts, expressions, actions, rule sets). In doing so, you can set up hierarchy structures, in other words create higher-level and lower-level groups.

Unlike rule sets, groups have no influence on the process in the BRF. There is no programming involved, they are simply a sorting criterion.

Prerequisites

You are on the Business Rule Framework initial screen.

To return to the initial screen, enter the transaction code /nBRF.

Procedure

Create Group

  1. Choose Start of the navigation pathUtilities Next navigation step Object GroupsEnd of the navigation path.

    The Display View "BRF: Groups": Overview screen appears.

  2. Choose Display -> Change.

  3. Choose New Entries.

  4. Enter the following data for the new group:

    • Application class to which the group is to belong

    • Key of the group

      Make sure that you observe the conventions for namespaces in the BRF.

    • Short text of the group

    • If you want to put several groups into a hierarchy structure, enter the higher-level group for the new group in the Higher Node field.

      If you do not specify any higher-level group, the system displays the new group in the navigation tree at the level of the All Groups node.

      The system uses the group key to sort the groups on a level.
