Location of Code generation macro
the location of the macro that generates the SAS code for rule sets and rule flows. This property is used only by rule flows that were published using the first maintenance release of SAS Business Rules Manager 1.2. It is not used by rule flows published with later versions.
Max row count per table
the maximum number of rows per rule flow test table. This property applies only to the first maintenance release of SAS Business Rules Manager 1.2, to SAS Business Rules Manager 2.1, and to SAS Decision Manager 2.1. It is not used by later versions.
Temporary test code generation directory
applies only to SAS Business Rules Manager 1.2 and the first maintenance release of SAS Business Rules Manager 1.2. This directory is not used by later versions.
Largest allowed uploaded lookup table row count
the maximum number of rows that can be uploaded for a lookup table. The default is 5000. This value should not exceed 10,000.
Maximum Testing Log Length (in lines) of SAS log displayed within User Interface
the maximum number of lines from the SAS log that are displayed on the SAS log section on the Results tab for the rule flow.
Support macros in rule expressions
determines whether macros are allowed in rule expressions.
Note: Macros are not supported in decision flows that are deployed by SAS Real-Time Decision Manager or in decisions that are published and run in the SAS Micro Analytic Service.
Temporary Location used in Rule Generation
a temporary directory that SAS Business Rules Manager uses while it generates the SAS code for vocabularies, rule sets, and rule flows. A best practice is to specify a directory that is outside of the SAS configuration directory.
Test Library Root File System Directory
the directory where rule flow tests and test results are saved. As users create additional rule flow tests, administrators might need to delete old test results, or ask users to delete old test cases. A best practice is to specify a directory that is outside of the SAS configuration directory.
Note: If you are running tests that use data sources that are in a distributed environment such as the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS), ensure that the SAS Server file system has enough space to accommodate output data in the form of SAS data sets. If sufficient space is not available, you might need to create subsets of the input data to use for testing.
Test Metadata Library Root Directory
the folder in which metadata for rule flow tests is stored.

Business Rules Manager Web Advanced Properties

brm.csvfile.separator
the character that is used as a separator in CSV files that are used to create lookup tables through the SAS Business Rules Manager interface.
brm.datagrid.type.enabled
enables the use of data grid variables and functions in rule flows. Contact SAS Technical Support for more information.
brm.folder.config.enabled
enables you to control access to folders. When this property is set to true, you can define a role for a business rules folder administrator. Users assigned to this role control which user group has access to a folder.
Setting brm.folder.config.enabled to true disables the ability to import and export business rules content from the SAS Decision Manager database. Business rules content includes business rules folders, vocabularies, terms, lookup tables, rule sets, and rule flows. See Enable Business Rules Folder Administration for more information.
You can enable the role of folder administrator and still allow content to be imported and exported by setting brm.import.restriction.override to true.
brm.import.restriction.override
specifies whether business rules content can be imported to and exported from the SAS Decision Manager database when the brm.folder.config.enabled property is set to true.
brm.lookup.file.upload.encoding
the character encoding for files that contain lookup tables that will be imported through the user interface. The default encoding is UTF-8. The supported encodings are listed in Oracle Java SE documentation at https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/intl/encoding.doc.html.
brm.rulegen.mba.maxrowcount
the maximum number of rows for output tables that are generated by the Market Baskets discovery technique.
brm.rulegen.rfm.maxrowcount
the maximum number of rows for output tables that are generated by the Recency Frequency Monetary discovery technique.
brm.rulegen.scorecard.maxrowcount
the maximum number of rows for output tables that are generated by the Scorecard discovery technique.
brm.rulegen.tree.maxrowcount
the maximum number of rows for output tables that are generated by the Decision Tree discovery technique.
brm.runtime.codetype
determines whether SAS Business Rules Manager generates DS2 code or DATA step (DS1) code for rule flows. In many cases, you will get better performance by specifying DS1. However, consider specifying DS2 if your input data is in Teradata, Greenplum, or Hadoop, and you have installed the SAS Code Accelerator. In addition, the LIKE operator is not supported for DS1.
Note: If you are migrating or upgrading to SAS Business Rules Manager 3.2, this property is not defined. You can add it as a new property.
brm.testing.char.length.override
the maximum number of characters for action terms that are defined as character variables and that are not mapped to input variables. This value is used when rule flows are tested in SAS Business Rules Manager.
brm.default.application.server.context.override
the default application server for rule flow testing. You can specify the short logical name such as SASApp. If a value is not specified for this property, SAS Business Rules Manager looks for a server context named SASApp. If that server context does not exist, SAS Business Rules Manager uses the last one returned from the metadata server.
Note: This property is not predefined. You can add it as a new property.

Decision Manager Advanced Properties

Logon.Style
the default theme used by the SAS Business Rules Manager interface.
dcb.default.application.server.context.override
the default application server for decision testing. You can specify the short logical name such as SASApp. If a value is not specified for this property, SAS Business Rules Manager looks for a server context named SASApp. If that server context does not exist, SAS Business Rules Manager uses the last one returned from the server service.
Note: This property is not automatically added for migrations or upgrades.
services.rootscsfolder
the root folder for the SAS Content Server. Do not change this value.
