BizUnit BREExecuteStep

The BREExecuteStep can be used to unit test business rules submitting content to the Microsoft Business Rules Engine (BRE) and optionally validate the output for expected results.

Configuration Table

Property Name Description Required
SourceDocument The path for the source document to be submitted to the Business Rule Engine. This property is optional if a source document is being provided by a context loader. No
DocumentType The Business Rule Source Document Type. In a BizTalk project, this property should be set with the source document schema type name. This property is only required when SourceDocument is supplied. No
FactsContextKey Optional property to be filled if additional facts other than the source document need to be submitted to the Business Rule Engine. If this property is supplied the BizUnit Step will try to load facts from the BizUnit Context using the key name provided and forward them to the BRE. No
PolicyName The policy name to be executed by the unit test step. Yes
PolicyVersionMajorRevision The major revision of the policy version. As an example, if the policy version to be executed is 1.0, this field should be set to 1. If this property is not supplied the unit test step will execute the latest version deployed in the Business Rule Engine repository. No
PolicyVersionMinorRevision The minor revision of the policy version. As an example, if the policy version to be executed is 1.0, this field should be set to 0. This property is only required when PolicyVersionMajorRevision is supplied. No
ContextLoaderSteps Allows additional information to be pre-loaded into the BizUnit context. As an example of utilization, ESBToolkitResolutionContextLoader could be used to load additional facts to be sent to the BRE as part of the unit test. See FactsContextKey property to get more details on how ContextLoaderSteps and ValidationSteps can be used as a complement of this unit test step. No
ValidationSteps Allows the inclusion of validation points against the results of the pre-configured business rule execution. No

BizUnit ESBToolkitResolutionContextLoader Step


The ESBToolkitResolutionContextLoader step loads an ESB Resolution object and optionally a source document into the BizUnit Context.
The ESB Resolution is a structure used by the ESB toolkit to apply endpoint and mapping dynamic resolution.
