Routing Rule Editor

A message router has an associated routing rule. The routing rule contains a rule set (list of rules) that provide the routing logic for the router. You can select a rule for a router using the router's Business Rule Name configuration setting. Clicking the magnifying glass next to the drop-down list launches the rule editor.

By default the Rule Editor displays two tabs: general and ruleSet. The general tab displays metadata about the rules. The ruleSet tab displays the actual rules. Click the general tab:

The general tab provides the following fields:

• Description — An optional field for providing more information about the Rule Set.

• Rule Type — The purpose of the rule, in this case routing HL7 messages.

• Rule Assist Class — The name of the class that defines the editor for the rule.

• Context Class — The class that contains the context properties that can be used at runtime.

• Rule Alias — This field is for backwards compatibility with Ensemble pre-v2012.1 rules.

The bottom of this screen displays the list of ruleSets associated with the routing rule. Each Rule Set includes the following:

• ruleSet Name — The logical name of the ruleSet

• Begining/Ending DateTime — These fields describe the times at which a particular Rule Set becomes active and when it ceases to be active. The format is YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS
