How do I build Event Analytics Rules?

Question

M3 uses Event Analytics Rules (DRL Files) to process certain business logic. I also see them in use to send BODs to ION via MEC. How do I create custom Event Analytics rules (aka Drools Rules)?

Answer 1

Infor Smart Rules is an Eclipse plug-in designed to assist developers in creating rules for Event Analytics, part of Event Hub. Event Analytics is built upon JBoss Drools Expert, a rule engine.

Depending on the version of Grid you are using, refer to "Event Hub and Event Analytics Grid Extensions" in Lawson Grid Extensions Installation and Administration Guide or in Infor ION Grid Extensions Installation and Administration Guide.

Use Eclipse Classic 4.3 or later with the plugin that is available from Infor Xtreme. The newest versions of Eclipse seem to have problems with Infor plugins, so I stick to the Classic 4.3 per the doc. The plugin filename is smartrules.eclipse.repository-xxxx.zip. I could not find it in the downloads and had to open a ticket to get access to it.
