SAP Build process automation service Business Rules

[parab_neha]

Hello,

I am exploring SAP Build process automation service which has capabilities from SAP Workflow Management. I am able to create decision and rules in the process. However, I need to use business rule service in custom sapui5 application.

How can use business rule service without subscribing to workflow service (as Business Rule is part of workflow service) and we are planning to use SAP Build Process instead of workflow service ?

Regards,

Neha

Hi Archana and Christopher,

Thanks for your reply. I am able to create and deploy my business rule through Business rules application (Monitor --> Dashboard). However, to use this rule through SAPUI5 application, I need to create destination which requires client id and secret from Business rule instance. But I don't see business rule instance under instances and subscription. In create instance as well, Business rules service is not appearing.

Please suggest.

Thanks,

Neha

Hello parab.neha

in the Monitor Tab of SAP Build you should see the Business Rules which leads you to the Business Rules that looks very alike to the Worfklow Version. As Archana mentioned, with using the Booster for SAP Build it should appear (which did in my case

Hello Neha,

Please create separate SAP Community question for new queries as this helps others as well.

To answer your new question, there is no separate service for business rules, you can use SAP Process Automation service instance details to call business rules, workflow and other APIs. You can find all the API documentation and configuration details in API Business Hub

Hello Neha and Christopher,

We also plan to have runtime APIs available for Decisions in SAP Build Process Automation in Q1/Q2 2023 and with that you do not have to rely on standalone Business Rules Application. It is also good to use Decision in SBPA so that in future you can add them to process and expand the scope of use.

Hello Neha,

Business rules capability is part of SAP Build Process Automation. Run the booster to setup your account with SAP Build Process Automation

Hello Neha,

Business rules is a capability in SAP Build Process Automation coming from SAP Workflow Management. The decision artefact that you create inside the process cannot be accessed via the API - you can create a process, add a decision, and deploy the project. To run, you have to run the process via the workflow APIs.

If you want to work on standalone business rules for your business rules need without the need of workflow, then we have full fledged business rules available in Monitor application. Here you can design your business rules and then consume them using rules runtime APIs.

Hope that helps,

Archana

Hello Archana,

Thanks for your reply. I want to understand which service should I subscribe to use standalone business rules ? As per my understanding business rule service is clubbed with workflow service.

Thanks,

For integrating business rule maintenance in custom sapui5, you can use the Rule Builder Control

See https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/#/topic/67fcb301d0504fd4a24915edf4058c51

Thanks Michael, But as I understood, this is only for visualization purpose. I want to use business rule service to store business rules and then use those rules in the application.

no, "Rule Builder Control" allow create and edit business rules in your custom SAPUI5 application
