Business Rules Descriptors

A workflow is the highest level object and is comprised of one or more nodes. A node encapsulates a specific business process and is comprised of one or more tasks. A task provides access to a data element. A data descriptor describes an individual data element such as a table. Each node can be comprised of any number of tasks (certain nodes may require no tasks, and other nodes, such as table processing nodes, may use several tasks). Customers define their workflows, nodes, and tasks with XML files. The PayDirDescriptors.xsd file, installed in the XML folder of the Business Rules Server installation, contains the XML schema definitions for each of the descriptors and should be used to construct a valid XML file. The PayDirDescriptors.html file contains descriptions of all the Business Rules elements.
