Subject: Re: [WEB400] business rules?

Paul, that's a really good question, and one which really deserves its own
thread - or maybe a forum <grin>. Short answer is, generally speaking,
you really want to avoid hardcoded business rules precisely because they
do require programming changes when the business logic changes. At the
same time, there's a tradeoff between maintenance, performance and
flexibility. You can usually get two out of the three.

When I get some more time, maybe we can address some specific instances.
think of allocations (warehouses that are non-allocatable, locations that
should be sequenced, etc.) or pricing (this one can go off the charts).

Joe/All,

What key architecture/design elements or software capabilities would you
see in an IDEAL ERP application relative to business rules? From your
experience, do most business rule changes require code changes? Does
the language effect this? (RPG, PHP, Java)

Reason I ask is that I've been involved in several projects lately with
more to come where the business rules have to be extremely dynamic.
We've had some success externalizing rules to data driven files but I'd
like to learn from the community experiences in this area.

Thanks, Paul Holm

I'm still skeptical - using a loosely typed language on top of an
SQL-only access is a tough nut to crack. But these folks at least seem
to have made the attempt!
