Rule Builder > Setting Up the Execution Object Model > Exporting a Ruleset

The export command in the Rule Builder is equivalent to extraction and publication of the ruleset only. You can export rulesets as .irl, .xrl, and .xml files.

To export the current ruleset to a file that will be directly understandable by the rule engine:

  1. Click Ruleset on the File>Export File menu.
  2. Click one of the following on the Ruleset submenu:
    1. IRL--to generate a file in the ILOG Rule Language (for more information on IRL, see the ILOG Rule Language Reference Manual).
    2. XRL--to generate a file in the Executable Rule Language. XRL is defined by a set of schema files: ruleset.xsd, statement.xsd, value.xsd, flowstatement.xsd, condition.xsd, and common.xsd. These files are located in the <InstallDir>/doc/xml directory.
    3. Signature--to generate a file in XML that exports only the signature of the ruleset. For more information, see the Rule Engine User's Manual.

Ruleset export uses the project ruleset extractor.

You can also export rulesets as part of a RuleApp. The RuleApp is exported as an archive (.jar) file that can be integrated into a Business Rule Execution Server (BRE Server).
