Configurations

Introduction

Configurations are the files that SoftRules^® uses to store all Business Rules in. They are in fact separated files so that a Product (for example the calculation of a tariff from a certain insurance product) can be released separately from others Products. The information in the Global Configuration are used by more than one Local Configurations. They contain for example Suppliers, TextValues, Units and Element Tables (with XML schemas).

The configurationfiles are stored in the Project Folder. The location of the Project Folder is written in the Windows Registry.

Composer	HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Comparity\SoftRules\DataSets\DataSet1
Server	HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Comparity\SoftRules\DataSets\DataSet1

When you use multiple DataSets, you'll see DataSet2, DataSet3, etc.

This key contains the location of the Project Folder:

Data_Directory

C:\SoftRules\Data\

New files are (by default) stored in the Project Folder. Example:

configuration_0.srcf	Global Configuration
configuration_1.srcf	Business Rules (Products) for ConfigID = 1
configuration_2.srcf	Business Rules (Products) for ConfigID = 2
configuration_3.srcf	Etc.

Tip!

Using Windows Command Prompt (CMD) you can use a Type command to see more information about a .srcf (SoftRules Configuration) file.

Example:

C:\SoftRules\Data>type configuration_1.srcf
