Rule Builder > Managing Repositories > Working With Repositories > Creating a New Repository

When you open the Rule Builder, a new repository is created by default. This new repository contains a project with a template library and a deployer. Inside the template library, there is a set of empty templates and a default BOM containing a set of packages, classes, and class members. For more information about the default BOM, see the Business Action Language User's Manual.

The repository elements available and the properties associated with each element are specified by the repository model. More than one repository model is available within the default Rule Builder and you can add your own custom repository if required. If you do this the New Repository submenu on the File menu will contain an option to create a new repository based on your new custom repository model. For more information see the Rule Builder Customization User's Manual and the Repository Customization User's Manual.

The following sections describe how to create new repositories, specifying the repository model:

Creating a New Default Repository

If you already have a repository open and you have finished working on it, you may want to save it and then create another new default repository.

To create a new default repository:

The new default repository is opened. You can now start to add your ruleset elements to the repository and save it.

Creating a New Extended Repository

There is a another repository model provided by default in the Rule Builder called Standard Extensions. This repository model provides extra properties that can be set on ruleset elements and used to query rules: author, status, effectiveDate and expirationDate. For more information about these properties, refer to the Business Rule Management Tutorial.

To create a new repository based on the Standard Extensions model:

The new extended repository is created. You can now start to add your ruleset elements to the repository and save it.
