How to Script Import-Export and Deployment of Business Policies

This section describes how to programmatically import/export and deploy policies using RuleSetDeploymentDriver.

The following example shows how to export a policy to a file.

using System;  
using Microsoft.RuleEngine;  
using Microsoft.BizTalk.RuleEngineExtensions;  
namespace SimpleExport  
{  
   class ExportPolicy  
   {  
      [STAThread]  
      static void Main(string[] args)  
      {  
         if (args.Length != 3)  
            Console.WriteLine("Format: PolicyName MajorVersion MinorVersion");  
         else  
         {  
            string policyName = args[0];  
            int majorRev = Convert.ToInt16(args[1]);  
            int minorRev = Convert.ToInt16(args[2]);  
            RuleSetInfo rsi = new RuleSetInfo(policyName,majorRev,minorRev);  
            Microsoft.BizTalk.RuleEngineExtensions.RuleSetDeploymentDriver dd;  
            dd = new Microsoft.BizTalk.RuleEngineExtensions.RuleSetDeploymentDriver();  
                        string fileName = (rsi.Name + "-" + rsi.MajorRevision + "." + rsi.MinorRevision + ".xml");  
            dd.ExportRuleSetToFileRuleStore(rsi,fileName);  
         }  
      }  
   }  
}  

The following example shows how you can import and deploy a policy from a file.

using System;  
using Microsoft.RuleEngine;  
using Microsoft.BizTalk.RuleEngineExtensions;  
namespace SimpleImport  
{  
   class ImportPolicy  
   {  
      [STAThread]  
      static void Main(string[] args)  
      {  
         String filename = args[0];  
         Microsoft.BizTalk.RuleEngineExtensions.RuleSetDeploymentDriver dd;  
         dd = new Microsoft.BizTalk.RuleEngineExtensions.RuleSetDeploymentDriver();  
         SqlRuleStore sqlRuleStore = (SqlRuleStore) dd.GetRuleStore();  
         FileRuleStore fileRuleStore = new FileRuleStore(filename);  
         RuleSetInfoCollection rsic = fileRuleStore.GetRuleSets(RuleStore.Filter.All);  
         foreach (RuleSetInfo rsi in rsic)  
         {  
            RuleSet ruleSet = fileRuleStore.GetRuleSet(rsi);  
            bool publishRuleSets = true;  
            sqlRuleStore.Add(ruleSet,publishRuleSets);  
            dd.Deploy(rsi);  
         }  
      }  
   }  
}
