Updates the function category with the provided content.

A named group to hold a related set of functions.

Function Category

The entity tag from the last time the category was retrieved.

If-Match

The ID of the function category to update.

categoryId

Last-Modified

The entity tag for the function category.

ETag

Error

application/vnd.sas.error

No resource exists at the requested path.

The `If-Match` header did not match the resource's entity tag.

The request headers did not include the `If-Match` precondition.

This is an example of a base URL for businessRules service API guider.

Update a function category

A unit of the total expression. Each unit is logically AND'ed together.

Advanced List Expression Unit

An advanced list that is referenced by a business rule.

Advanced List in Business Rules

A reference to an Advanced List within an action of a rule.

Advanced List Reference

Analysis Code generated by a Score Object using Score Execution. This represents application/vnd.sas.score.analysis.code media type (version 1).

Analysis Code

The list of links to top-level resources and operations available from the root of the API.

This is a base schema used to define paginated collections of resources. This base schema is extended by other schemas in APIs by adding an 'items' array property. These extensions define the application/vnd.sas.collection media type (version 2)

Base Collection

Contains the structure of code that is needed to generate the decision code.

Decision Step Code

Terms that are a part of the signature for the object that is used in a decision step.

Decision Step Code Signature Term

Decision Step Code Signature Term DataGrid Extension is used to store the column information of a DataGrid variable.

Decision Step Code Signature Term DataGrid Extension

The object contains an unpaginated list of URIs of the direct dependents of this rule set.

Direct Dependent Objects

A collection of errors and warnings from the rule validation. No paging is required for this end point.

Error Collection

A collection of rules using the query response format.

Describes the substitution of a local rule set signature term for a term of an expression.

Expression Term Mapping

A reusable DS2 method with additional metadata.

Function

One page of function category representations with optional links to the first, previous, next, and last pages of the collection.


Function Category Collection

One page of function representations with optional links to the first, previous, next, and last pages of the collection.


Function Collection

An input parameter to a user-defined function.

Function Signature Term

Function Signature Term DataGrid Extension is used to store the column information of a DataGrid variable.

Function Signature Term DataGrid Extension

A link to a related operation or resource.

Link

List Column

A restriction or redaction on the presentation of a column's value when retrieving a list's contents.

List Column Data Mask

List Data

Lookup

Lookup Collection

A reference to a lookup within a condition or action of a rule.

Lookup Reference

Lookup Value

Executable code generated by a score object using a score definition and input data. This represents application/vnd.sas.score.mapped.code media type (version 1).

Mapped Code

Assigning Input Data column to a variable of the generated Mapped Code of Score Object. This doesn't represent any top-level media type.

Mapping

A new reusable DS2 method with additional metadata.

New Function

Describes the substitution of local rule set signature terms for signature terms from the referenced common rule set version.

Reference Rule Mapping

A collection of referenced resource representations.

Referenced Resources Collection

A request that contains hints to generate the analysis code using the scoring execution.

Request for Generating Analysis Code

A request that contains hints to generate the mapped code using the scoring definition by score object.

Request for Generating Score Code

The summarized representation of a resource. Often used in collection responses when more specific details aren't needed.

Resource Summary

One page of the objects as resource summary representations, with optional links to the first, previous, next, and last page of the list.

Resource Summary Collection

The summarized representation of a decisioning revision resource.

Revision Resource Summary

The definition of a set of conditions and actions for use within a rule set. The defintion can also contain a rule that references a common rule, reference IDs and mappings. This represents application/vnd.sas.business.rule media type (version 4).

Rule

Action that is performed if a rule evaluated to true.

Rule Action

A request to convert a rule action to a different type.

Rule Action Conversion

Action referencing an Advanced List that is performed if a rule evaluated to true.

Rule Advanced List Action

One page of rule representations with optional links to first, prev, next, and last page of the collection.

Rule Collection

Conditional that evaluates to true or false.

Rule Condition

A request to convert a rule condition to a different type.

Rule Condition Conversion

Rule query result representation for displaying rule logic from rule fired tables. This represents application/vnd.sas.business.rule.query.result media type (version 1).

Rule Query Result

The definition of a set of rules and the associated signature for them. This represents the `application/vnd.sas.business.rule.set` media type (version 10).


Rule Set

One page of rule set representations, with optional links to first, prev, next, and last page of the collection.

Rule Set Collection

The definition of a set of rules and the associated signature for them. This represents the `application/vnd.sas.business.rule.set.integral` media type (version 2).


Rule Set With Rules

Rule Variable Collection

Selection

Business term defined by the user to be used as a variable for usage in expressions and mappings within rule sets or decisions. Terms of type data grid can have their internal structure defined further using extensions, these are fields that are found within each row of a data grid term.


Signature Term

The signature term extension is used to store the column information of a data grid variable.


Signature Term Extension

A summary representation of a term and it's usage.

Term Usage Summary

An un-paginated list of term usage summaries.

Term Usage Summary Collection

Request containing hints and mappings to generate Mapped Code not bound to a score definition.
