BRFplus-Business Rule Management for ABAP Applications

In modern architectures, business rules are modeled and maintained in central engines. But how can you modify existing rules or develop your own? How can these rules be integrated into the applications? BRFplus is the tool of choice for developing business rules in ABAP. This book introduces BRFplus in all its aspects. It explains the tool’s architecture and how its rules are structured. You will learn how to modify and develop rules, how to incorporate them into your own landscape, and how to extend BRFplus. Including extensive examples and tutorials, this book is a one-stop resource for developers as well as business analysts.
