Hi,
What Jostein said is 100% accurate. There is no way to automatically convert between rules engines. I would like to add that if the rules in the other system follow a similar pattern, then creating templates in Blaze and entering the rules that way could be the faster way to do it. If you are desperate for fast input, I have created a template of rules, then looked at the generated XML and created the actual XML from the rules then did some cut and paste to get them in. THIS IS RISKY IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
My biggest recommendation though is to hire someone that knows Blaze to help you out. While some of the theory will directly convert, you will make mistakes about using Blaze and its strongpoints correctly versus just getting things in.
Normally, for this kind of a conversion project, a straight conversion is not the best way to proceed. You should re-examine the system and design it correctly for Blaze using someone who knows Blaze.
Hope this helps,
Tom
