RuleSet name

A RuleSet name is an instance of the Rule-RuleSet-Name rule type. Each RuleSet defines a major subset of rules in the PegaRULES database, because every instance of every rule type references or "belongs to" a RuleSet. A RuleSet name is a major aspect in:

• Access control
• Grouping interrelated rules
• Managing the rules
• Moving applications — sets of rules — from one PRPC system to another.

On rule forms, the RuleSet name appears at the upper right.

The term RuleSet sometimes refers to the name instance and sometimes informally refers to the contents of that RuleSet — all the instances of Rule- classes associated with that RuleSet.

The Rule-.pyRuleSet property, present in every rule instance, records the RuleSet name to which the instance belongs.

PRPC itself consists of several standard RuleSets, including these:

• Pega-AppDefinition — Direct Capture of Objectives features
• Pega-AutoTest — Automated Unit Testing support
• Pega-Desktop — Designer Studio
• Pega-EndUserUI — HTML and JSP generation
• Pega-Engine — Foundation
• Pega-Gadgets — Designer Studio
• Pega-ImportExport — ZIP archive support
• Pega-IntegrationArchitect — Rule forms
• Pega-IntegrationEngine — Integration runtime
• Pega-IntSvcs — Integration
• Pega-ProcessArchitect — Rule forms
• Pega-ProcessEngine — Process rules runtime
• Pega-ProCom — Business process management (BPM) applications
• Pega-Reporting — Reports
• Pega-RuleRefactoring — RuleSet management
• Pega-RULES — Business rules engine and rule resolution
• Pega-RulesEngine — Foundation
• Pega-UIDesign — User interface facilities
• Pega-UIEngine — User interface runtime facilities
• Pega-WB — Portal infrastructure
• CheckInCandidates — Optional. Empty, used by rule check-in processing. Version 01-01-01 is not locked.

Any application developer who can check out rules has a personal RuleSet. The system creates each personal RuleSet automatically, named to match the Operator ID value.

A RuleSet name is limited to 64 characters. The property pyRuleSet, included in most rule types, identifies the RuleSet for that rule.
