Lesson 1: Deploying the Related Business Rules

Microsoft BizTalk Accelerator for SWIFT (A4SWIFT) includes a program in the A4SWIFT Software Development Kit (SDK) called the Business Rule Engine (BRE) Deployment Utility. In this lesson, you use this utility to inspect an assembly for deployed schemas, determine the required rules, and deploy the necessary vocabularies and policies for each schema.

You can also deploy rules by using the SWIFT Standards Release Guides (SRG) to identify the necessary rules and then use the Business Rule Composer tool to deploy the vocabularies and policies.

  1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft BizTalk <version> Accelerator for SWIFT, and then click BRE Deployment Utility.

  2. In the BRE Deployment Utility dialog box, click Browse.

  3. In the .NET Global Assembly Cache dialog box, select SWIFTSchemas, and then click OK.

    Note

    SWIFTSchemas refers to the assembly you previously deployed.

  4. Click Deploy.

    Based on the schemas you deployed with that assembly, the deployment utility identifies the related rules and publishes them for use with the BRE. When complete, the BRE Deployment Utility displays the following message:

    Deployment has completed. View the log file or Business Rules Composer for details.

  5. Close the SWIFT BRE Deployment Utility dialog box.

  6. In Windows Explorer, browse to <drive>:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data to confirm that the log file BREDeploymentLog.txt appears in the folder.

    Note

    You can open the log file using a text editor to confirm each of the deployment steps.

  7. Restart the Rule Engine Update Service. Do so by clicking Start, clicking Run, entering services.msc, and clicking OK. In the Services (Local) window, right-click Rule Engine Update Service, and then click Restart.
