Function Alias rules
|
Create a function alias rule by selecting
Function Alias
from
the Technical
category.
A function alias rule has two key parts, a class and a purpose:
Field |
Description |
Applies To |
Select a class. Many function alias rules use @baseclass. To create an SQL function alias rule, select or enter Embed-UserFunction. Specifying any other class creates a Java function alias rule. |
Rule Name |
Enter a name (often called a 'purpose' in Process Commander) for the rule. Begin the name with a letter and use only alphanumeric, ampersand, and dash characters. |
For all SQL function alias rules, and for most Java function alias rules, accept the default value of Other
as the alias type.
The Alias Type field is provided as a convenience when you create Java function aliases for the following functions:
Java function | Select |
---|---|
compareTwoValues() | Compare two values
|
compareTwoValues() function with the parameters pre-populated with the selected property and the “equals” operator | Is Property Equals To
|
dateIsInRange() | Date within Date Range
|
