DEE Actions#

Administration.DynamicBusinessRules

Dynamic Execution Engine (DEE) Actions provides access to the available DEE Actions. DEE Actions are soft-rules defined in C# which are loaded and compiled into memory and executed during runtime. The most common use for DEE Actions is to implement pre and post transaction logic.

An Action Group represents a context where the rule is executed automatically by the system.

Browsing DEE Actions#

By clicking in the DEE Actions entry in the Administrators Page Group all available DEE Action Groups and DEE Actions are shown. From this tree it is possible to:

• Create a new Action - by clicking on New in the DEE Action button
• Compile all DEE Actions - validates the code structure and integrity for all the actions
• Disable all DEE Actions - renders all DEE Actions disabled in the system

You can filter the DEE Actions that are displayed on the grid by choosing the appropriate status of the DEE Actions to display:

• All - shows all DEE Actions
• Enabled - only displays enabled DEE Actions
• Disabled - only displays disabled DEE Actions

A DEE Action is logic represented in C# code and consists of a test condition and the action itself. The action is only executed during runtime if the test evaluates to true. The DEE Action editor contains additional utilities as described in the image that follows.

To save a DEE Action it is necessary to open it and then press the Enable button in the ribbon.

The Save operation creates a new version of the DEE Rule. This new version can have a Description and Classification. Optionally, you can set this newly created version as immediately effective.
