METHODS AND SYSTEMS TO DEFINE AND EXECUTE CUSTOMER DECLARATIVE BUSINESS RULES TO EXTEND BUSINESS APPLICATIONS

摘要

Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for defining and executing custom business rules to influence or control execution of a business process and allowing software providers to deliver externally extensible business applications which in turn allow customers of those applications to implement their own business rules and conditions using a browser based UI, without modifying the actual code in the base application. A user interface (UI) based business rule configurator allows users to define business rules and conditions that can be executed by a rules engine integrated with the client extensions and no custom code is required for business users to extend the business logic and no future custom code maintenance is required.
