XML Stream rules
Completing the New or Save As form

Field

Description

Select the class of the page that is the basis for stream processing to generate an XML document from this rule. Enter @baseclass if this is a top-level XML Stream rule to be referenced in an activity, with no associated page.

The classes you can enter here may depend on the RuleSet you select. On the Restrictions tab of the Class form, a class rule may limit rules applying to that class to belong to one of an explicit list of RuleSets.

Enter a name for this XML Stream rule. Choose a name that starts with a letter and contains only letters, digits, and a dash character.

Enter the literal MapFrom if this XML stream rule is to be referenced in the Response tab of a Service rule such as Service MQ or Service SOAP.

This key part is arbitrary and is referenced primarily when XML text (in one Rule-Obj-XML rule) uses the <pega:include > JSP tag, which instructs the system to incorporate a second XML stream (where the third key parts must match).

You may use special characters such as #,&, * ( ) in this key part. However, as a best practice, begin the name with a letter and follow the rules for a Java identifier. See How to enter a Java identifier.
