We use Guvnor Enumerations to populate drop-downs, and plug-in values, in Guvnor.
Enumerations can be specified manually, using the screen provided in Guvnor. For small projects with very few Enumerations, this may work OK.
However, if you are using the vMR and doing a lot of Knowledge Modules with a lot of rules, you will probably want to automate the process of populating the Guvnor Enumerations.
Automating Enumerations
In OpenCDS we provide a web service that interfaces with the Apelon service, and populates the Guvnor Enumerations:
- This web service uses the Guvnor REST interface to replace all the Enumerations from Concepts stored in the OpenCDS Apelon.
- This web service can be easily adapted to point to your own instance of Apelon, or to use a different terminology management system.
- By default this web service will update all the enumerations in Guvnor at a specified time each day.
