Create and Publish a Rule Flow

The last major step in adding business rules content to the SAS Decision Manager database is to create and publish rule flows. A business rule flow is a logical collection of rule sets that define multiple conditions and actions. The rule flow that you create in this tutorial contains only one rule set, but most rule flows contain multiple rule sets.
For more information, see Creating and Publishing Rule Flows.
