What’s New in SAS Business Rules Manager 3.2

Overview

SAS Business Rules Manager 3.2 runs on the fourth maintenance release of SAS 9.4. Major features for this release include the ability to set permissions on top-level folders and the ability to control access to import and export macros. New features and enhancements in this release enable you to perform the following tasks:
  • define an administrator role for folders and set permissions on top-level folders
  • control the ability to import and export business rules content
  • set Read-Only privileges for vocabularies and lookup tables
  • set a default application server for testing rule flows
  • delete published rule flows
  • generate SAS DATA step (DS1) code for rule flows
  • use Oracle Database 12c for the SAS Decision Manager database

Generate SAS DATA Step Code for Rule Flows

The brm.runtime.codetype property controls whether SAS Business Rules Manager generates DS2 code or SAS DATA step (DS1) code for rule flows. See Business Rules Manager Web Advanced Properties in SAS Business Rules Manager: Administrator’s Guide for more information.

Define a Business Rules Folder Administrator

The brm.folder.config.enabled property and the Folder Administration capability in SAS Management Console enable you to define a role for a business rules folder administrator. Users assigned to this role control which groups have access to business rules folders and the location of tests and test data for that folder. See Enable Business Rules Folder Administration in SAS Business Rules Manager: Administrator’s Guide and Create New Top-Level Folders for more information.

Control Permission for Importing and Exporting Business Rules Content

SAS Business Rules Manager provides several macros for importing and exporting vocabularies, terms, lookup tables, rule sets, and rule flows to and from the Decision Manager database. You can limit the ability to run these macros by setting the correct properties and configuring identities in SAS Management Console. See Configure the Ability to Import and Export Content in SAS Business Rules Manager: Administrator’s Guide for more information.
