A business rule flow
is a logical collection of multiple rule sets that define multiple
conditions and actions. In general, the rule sets in a rule flow are
executed in the order in which they are defined in the rule flow.
However, with complex rule flows, certain sections of rule sets are
usually executed more times than others.
See
Simple Rule Flows, Complex Rule Flows, and BY Groups for more information.After you publish a
rule flow to the SAS Metadata Server, other applications can deploy
the published rule flows as SAS programs and services. These programs
and services process input data, which contains conditions, in order
to create output data, which contains actions. The terms used in the
rule flows are mapped to table columns by the applications that use
the published rule flows within metadata.
