How to Start the Business Rule Composer and Load a Policy

This section describes how to start the Business Rule Composer and load a policy.

To start the Business Rule Composer

  • On the Start menu, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft BizTalk Server, and then click Business Rule Composer.

    Note

    On a system that supports User Account Control (UAC), you may need to run the tool with Administrative privileges. To do this, right-click the application, and then select Run as administrator.

To load a policy

  1. In the Business Rule Composer, on the Rule Store menu, click Load.

  2. In the Rule Store dialog box, in the SQL Server drop-down list, select the SQL Serverâ„¢ computer to which you want to connect.

  3. In the Database drop-down list, select the database that contains the rule store you want to open.

Note

The default database for the rule store installed by BizTalk Server is BizTalkRuleEngineDb.

Note

If you use a newly created SQL Server account that has the Enforce password expiration and User must change password at next login options set, the business rule composer will fail to connect to the Rule Engine database.
