Create properties that are required to configure other rules for data ingestion (a decision table, an activity, and Parse XML rule).

The goal of this procedure is to create the following rules with sample parameter values:

Rule type	Rule name	Apply to	Ruleset	Type
Property	processType	Data-Ingestion-Manifest	UPlusCDH-Rules:01-01-01	Text
Property	DataFlowClassName	UPlus-Work-Ingestion	UPlusCDH-Rules:01-01-01	Text
Property	DataFlowName	UPlus-Work-Ingestion	UPlusCDH-Rules:01-01-01	Text
Property	ManifestDetails	UPlus-Work-Ingestion	UPlusCDH-Rules:01-01-01	Single page

Important: When you configure these rules in your system, use the values that are appropriate for your system.
