Models API Documentation
FlexRule supports many different types of logic. All models use a simple XML format underneath to represent the logic. Based on the need and the logic, you may choose different logic and make them interact with each other as well.
Validation and Decision
If eligibility for a decision is a question to answer this logic can be used. This is a way of modeling your rules, decisions, and logic in a structural way.
Check Validation commands
Decision Table
If eligibility for a decision is a question to answer this logic can be used. This logic is very similar to Validation but with the extended functionality on Agenda driven result and conflict resolution strategy.
Check Decision table commands

Decision Requirement Diagram (DRD)
Decision Requirement Diagram is the interconnected decision graph that is part of the DMN standard.
Check DRD commands
Information Requirement Diagram (IRD)
This model represents the data logic and transformation model.
Check IRD commands
Procedural
When a procedural logic is required these set of commands can be used. Procedural logic is like:
- Accessing the object’s value and properties
- Calling a method
- Conditions e.g. If-ElseIf-Then logic
- Iterations e.g. While, Loop…
- Inter-link execution
Check Procedural commands
Flow
If orchestration of logic execution is required, Flow can be used. You can express the orchestration to execute multiple different types of logic. It can be used as a Decision flow, Procedure flow, … or mix of all of the available logic types.
Check Flow commands
Workflow
This is a specific type of Flow that can handle long-running business transactions. It supports hydrate, dehydrates and persistent store out-of-the-box.
Check Workflow commands
Notification
These commands can be used to send feedback to executing application during the logic execution.
Check Notification commands
