Configure a new match operation

About this task

To configure a new match operation:

In Product Designer, navigate to the rtm_matchop_defs.xml system table.
In RateTableMatchOpDefinition, add an entry to the system table. You must specify the following:
- OpCode – A code that uniquely identifies this match operation.
- OpName – Appears in PolicyCenter as a match operation choice when the user clicks Add in the Parameters tab of the Rate Table Definition Editor screen.
- NumberOfParameters – The number of parameters.
- ImplClass – The fully qualified name of the new match operation factory class. For example, you can define the class as gw.rating.rtm.matchop.OpCodeMatchOpFactory.
Create the following new classes:
- A factory class that extends abstract gw.rating.rtm.matchop.MatchOperationFactory. See Extending the match operation factory class.
- A class that extends abstract gw.rating.rtm.matchop.StatelessMatchOperator. See Match operation implementation.
Optionally, create a custom validator for the match operation.
- A class that extends gw.rating.rtm.validation.MatchOpValidator. See Match operation validator.
