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, other applications can deploy the published rule flows.
The applications map terms used in the rule flow to table column in
input data, evaluate the conditions in the rule flow, and execute
the appropriate actions.
