Business rules engine with dynamically addressable facts

摘要

A business rules engine includes dynamic objects to support dynamically addressable facts. The business rules engine is configured to reduce the need for developer resources to provision resources and adjust/adapt input data and output which would traditionally be required. As a result significant cost advantages are provided in the use of a business rules engine.

1. A method of integrating input or output requirement changes in a business rules engine comprising:
in a business rules engine, utilizing a dynamic object layer supporting dynamically addressable facts as a layer of abstraction to directly load database tables into the business rules engine, for business users to integrate data model changes associated with input/output requirement changes without the need for changes to compiled code in the business rules engine associated with input/output requirements; the dynamic object layer generating a data layer mapping to convert data from database records into input record objects with an input table, wherein the input table includes both input column definitions and output column definitions to be included in an output table, wherein the output table is determined by applying a business rule by the business rules engine and includes only output column definitions that are included in the input table; the business rules engine: dynamically transforming input data from database records;determining output object fields; andwriting out transformed data.
