Defining New Business Rules
You can define your own business rules by creating and loading XML files using the businessRules.dtd definition.
The following example shows how to define a business rule (wt.businessRules.BusinessRule:45346), a business rule set (wt.businessRules.BusinessRuleSet:45345), and a business rule link (wt.businessRules.BusinessRuleLink:356747) that associates the business rule with the business rule set.

The numbers in the example above are IDs used in the XML to differentiate each object.

1. Define the business rule.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE BusinessRule SYSTEM "standardX20.dtd">
<BusinessRule>
<ObjectID><localId>wt.businessRules.BusinessRule:45346</localId>
</ObjectID>
<objectContainerPath>/</objectContainerPath>
<key>IXBBusinessRule1_key</key>
<name>
com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.change2.change2ClientResource:
CHECK_OUT_VALIDATOR_RULE_NAME</name>
<description>
com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.change2.change2ClientResource:
CHECK_OUT_VALIDATOR_RULE_DESC</description>
<enabled>true</enabled>
<configs>
<config name="key1" value="value1"></config>
<config name="key2" value="value1"></config>
<config name="key1" value="value2"></config>
</configs>
</BusinessRule>
2. Define the business rule set.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE BusinessRuleSet SYSTEM "standardX20.dtd">
<BusinessRuleSet>
<ObjectID><localId>wt.businessRules.BusinessRuleSet:45345</localId>
</ObjectID>
<objectContainerPath>/wt.inf.container.OrgContainer=PTC/wt.pdmlink.
PDMLinkProduct=GOLF_CART>
</objectContainerPath>
<key>IXBBusinessRuleSet1_key</key>
<name>
com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.change2.change2ClientResource:
CHANGE_PRE_RELEASE_RULESET_NAME</name>
<description>
com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.change2.change2ClientResource:
CHANGE_PRE_RELEASE_RULESET_DESC</description>
<enabled>true</enabled>
<overridable>true</overridable>
</BusinessRuleSet>
3. Define the business rule link.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE BusinessRuleLink SYSTEM "standardX20.dtd">
<BusinessRuleLink>
<ObjectID><localId>wt.businessRules.BusinessRuleLink:356747</localId>
</ObjectID>
<ruleSet><ObjectReference><localId>wt.businessRules.BusinessRuleSet:
45345</localId></ObjectReference></ruleSet>
<rule><ObjectReference><localId>wt.businessRules.BusinessRule:45346
</localId></ObjectReference></rule>
<blockNumber>10</blockNumber>
</BusinessRuleLink>
