How to Set Options and Create Decision Service and Business Rules Dictionary

To create decision service and business rules dictionary:

  1. In the Create Business Rules dialog, select Expose as Composite Service.
  2. If you do not want to use the default service name, then select the Advanced tab and in the Service Name field enter the service name.
  3. In the Create Business Rules dialog, click OK. This creates the Business Rule component, also called a decision component, and Oracle JDeveloper shows the Business Rule component in the canvas workspace as shown in Figure 25-16.
