What object is replacing the Ruleflow Template and instance at version 7.6

We are standing before upgrade our Blaze Advisor version 7.4 - Jave to version 7.6.

Our problem is that we have many Ruleflow and I found out that,

"Ruleflow Templates and instances are deprecated. This means that you cannot create new Ruleflow Templates or generate new instances. While you can continue to edit your existing Ruleflow Templates and instances in the Blaze Advisor IDE, you cannot edit them in the RMA." (Fico Migration.pdf).

What is the new approach that we need to take to handle this changes?

    The ruleflow Template instances require the use of applets and Oracle removed applet support in Java 11, which is why the users can no longer use those instances in the RMA.

    The statement you quoted is first added into Blaze Advisor 7.5. You can use decision flow in RMA to achieve the same goal as what you can with ruleflow templates and instances.

    There's no migration path to convert ruleflow templates/instances to the decision flow, it can be done manually. However, the creation of Decision Flow is pretty straight-forward and easier comparing with complicated structure of the ruleflow templates. The more detailed information about Decision Flow can be found in the documentation under topic "Controlling the Execution Flow" (Chapter 11) at <BlazeInstallationFolder>\doc\pdf\RMAUserGuide.pdf.

    Hello,

    I'm confuse about the Rule Flow status at version 7.6,

    Fico migration.pdf say that its deprecated and we cannot create new Ruleflow but in DevelopingRuleProjects.pdf chapter 6 there is instruction who to create a Ruleflow.

    Can you clarify this point?

    Thanks

    Ruleflow Templates and instances are deprecated in the RMA. The Decision Flow replaced this functionality in the RMA. Users no longer have to create complicated template structures to allow their users to create multiple tasks, loops, subflows, and branches. The Decision Flow makes creating complicated decision flows in the RMA easy.

    Fixed ruleflows (which are not templates) are supported in the Blaze Advisor IDE. Users can create them and edit them in the Blaze Advisor IDE, but not in the RMA. This has always been true of fixed ruleflows.
