Function documentationDetermination of Date Schemas for Issues Using BRFplus

 

Business Rule Framework plus offers you a Web-based workbench in which you can define rules and use them to set up the automatic determination of a date schema. The rules are specified in decision tables.

Example Example

You can specify that depending on a specific priority, a specific date schema is used for date determination for an issue.

End of the example.

Features

The following BRFplus objects are delivered for date schema determination:

  • BRFplus application: QIM_ISSUE_DETERMINE_DATESCHEMA

    This application has the BRFplus storage type Customizing and can be transported like other Customizing. If necessary, the BRFplus application can be replaced by customer-specific applications. To create a customer-specific BRFplus application, you can copy the BRFplus application QIM_ISSUE_DETERMINE_DATESCHEMA.

  • BRFplus function: QIM_ISSUE_DETERMINE_DATESCHEMA

    This function is part of the BRFplus application QIM_ISSUE_DETERMINE_DATESCHEMA that is defined as Customizing and can be replaced by a customer-specific function.

  • BRFplus rule set: QIM_DETERMINE_DATESCHEMA

    This rule set specifies the process for rule evaluation through to evaluation of the decision table. The rule set can be replaced by a customer-specific one, just as for the whole BRFplus application.

  • Decision table: QIM_DECISION_TABLE_DATESCHEMA

    The decision table contains condition and result columns in which you specify the input and output parameters.

You can store the BRFplus application and the BRFplus function for determination of the date schema in Customizing for the issue type.
