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.

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.
