After you promote an entity business rule to a library entity, you then associate the real entity that contains the rule with a new or existing library entity. During the associating process you also map attributes in the library entity to attributes in the real entity.

You can also create an association to a library EBR (and any promoted EBRs) from a real entity, adding a derived EBR to an entity and retaining the connection.

Note: Associations are made at the entity level; associations for a library entity create associations for all rules and attributes contained in the entity.
Guidelines: Note the following when associating library entities:
  • You can associate a library entity to one or more entities available in the Control Center, including entities used in Quality processes.
  • If a derived EBR's Status column reads mapping reqd, this indicates the entity has been promoted but not yet associated.
  • You can associate a library entity to a real entity, and vice versa.
Note: You must promote a business rule to at least one library entity before you can associate entities.

    • Right-click in the List View white space and select Library rules >Associate.

    The Associate Library Entity window opens.

  3. Select the library entities to which you want to associate, and click Next. The Map Attributes window displays.
  4. Map each library attribute to a real attribute by accepting the default attributes or selecting other attributes in the drop-down list.
  5. Click Finish to save the entity associations and attribute mappings.
  6. Re-analyze any derived rules as needed to view the results against the current real entity. For more information about running rule analysis, see Running Business Rule Analysis.
