I would like to flesh out one of the points mentioned in it, regarding assistance we can potentially provide to a rule author in ILOG and the last paragraph statement: "there is also no work so far on how a user of the rules environment would be able to access artifacts managed in Relativity to help them write the rules correctly". It is true that the current integration level does not include a hyperlink (or similar reference) back from the ILOG authoring environment to the underlying legacy declarations and usages. However, a developer with JRules and Relativity Modernization Workbench (RMW) open side by side, can query RMW for the use of any common term both in the application sources and the Relativity candidate business rules. In addition, quick analysis will uncover upstream data and control flow dependencies. This result will help inform the author on legacy behavior to consider when authoring the new Rule in JRules. As we continue to enhance the integration between our respective tools, I will be happy to continue and inform this community on our progress.
