RDMI Protocols

An RDMI protocol is a way in which a Rules Engine interacts with an RDMI component. A Rules Engine can interact with a component using:

•the standard protocol. This is useful if you want to apply a custom operation to a predefined set of hard-coded values, that is, to data from a single row.

•the query protocol. This is useful if you want to retrieve data from an external source and present it to the Rules Engine as if it were multi-row data from a table.

•the aggregate protocol. This is useful if you want subject a multi-row data set to a custom aggregate function that converts the data to a single-row result.
