1 Rule Description
About This Chapter

Rules can be used in many scenarios (for example, the dynamic charging) for parsing fields,
calculating field values, or triggering the scenarios. Before configuring rules, you need to
understand basic concepts related to rules, which helps you configure rules correctly.
1.1 Application Scenario
This topic describes application scenarios of rules.
1.2 Editing Modes
The Mobile Money system provides the simple mode and complex mode for modifying rules
on the GUI. This topic describes the application scopes and use examples of the two modes.
1.3 Syntax
When configuring rules in complex mode, operators need to write scripts using the script
language.
1.1 Application Scenario

This topic describes application scenarios of rules.
1.1.1Charge Profile through 1.1.6Loyalty Point Rule describe the application scenarios of
rules in the current version, scenario factors, and functions used in the scenarios. For details
about the factors, see 3Factor Reference. For details about the functions, see 4Function

return false;
1.2 Editing Modes

The Mobile Money system provides the simple mode and complex mode for modifying rules
on the GUI. This topic describes the application scopes and use examples of the two modes.
 Simple mode

Copyright © Huawei
Mobile Money
If this mode is used, you need only to select the suitable function, correct factor,
operator, and factor value and the system will automatically generate a script containing
the if-else statement. If there are multiple factors, the factor expressions are used as
conditions of the if statement and is calculated using &&.
Scenario: Configure a rule in simple mode so that the system returns true if the
transaction reason type is Deposit_VDF and returns false if the transaction reason type is
not Deposit_VDF, as shown in Figure 1.2.
Figure 1.2 Configuring a rule in simple mode
 Complex mode
If this mode is used, you can configure a rule using either of the following methods:
− Manually edit the script.
− Select a function or factor on the left. The system generates the corresponding script
in the text boxes on the right. You need to select related factors, operators, and
factor values.
Scenario: Configure a rule in complex mode so that the system returns true if the
transaction reason type is Deposit_VDF and returns false if the transaction reason
type is not Deposit_VDF. After you select a reason type on the left, the system
automatically generates an if-else statement in the text boxes on the right. You need
to manually set the reason type value, as shown in Figure 1.2.

2.1 Operator
This topic describes the operators.
2.2 Data Type
This topic describes how to use the data types supported by the rule script.
2.3 Expression
This topic describes the syntax of some expressions used in rule configuration.
2.4 Function
Functions are used to perform logic processing or calculation processing on parameters and
export the processing result.
2.1 Operator
This topic describes the operators.
Table 3.2 describes the operators.
Relational operators support the comparison between dates, between numbers of different types (for
example, 100L == 100.0D), between number-type character strings (for example, "123" == "123"), and
between number-type character strings and numbers (for example, "123" == 123).
If the calculation result of the arithmetic expression is an empty value or an empty set, you can use the
keyword null or nil to check.

Table 3.2 Operators

Operator Type Description
% Get remainder Gets the remainder by dividing an integer with

another integer.
For example, the remainder obtained by dividing 5
by 2 is 1.
* Multiply Multiplies two numbers.
+ Add Adds two numbers or character strings.
++ Increase Increases the number by 1 automatically.
automatically
- Subtract Subtracts a number from another number.
-- Decrease Decreases the number by 1 automatically.
automatically
/ Divide Divides a number by another number.
?: Ternary operator This operator can simply replace the if-else
statement. The content before ? is an expression,
the content between ? and : is the code executed
when the expression is true, and the content after :
is the code executed when the expression is false.
Take a?b:c as an example. If the value of a is true,
the value of b is returned. If the value of a is false,
the value of c is returned.
> Greater than Compares numbers with numbers, character strings
with character strings, and dates with dates.
Use the expression a > b as an example. If a is
greater than b, the result is true. If a is less than or
equal to b, the result is false. If a or b is null, the
result is false.
>= Greater than or Compares numbers with numbers, character strings
equal to with character strings, and dates with dates.
Use the expression a >= b as an example. If a is
greater than or equal to b, the result is true. If a is
less than b, the result is false. If a or b is null, the
result is false.
< Less than Compares numbers with numbers, character strings
Use the expression a < b as an example. If a is less
than b, the result is true. If a is greater than or
equal to b, the result is false. If a or b is null, the
result is false.
<= Less than or Compares numbers with numbers, character strings
equal to with character strings, and dates with dates.
Use the expression a <= b as an example. If a is
less than or equal to b, the result is true. If a is

greater than b, the result is false. If a or b is null,

the result is false.
== Equal to Compares numbers with numbers, character strings
Use the expression a == b as an example. If a is
equal to b, the result is true. If a is greater than or
less than b, the result is false. If a or b is null, the
result is false.
!= Unequal to Compares numbers with numbers, character strings
Use the expression a != b as an example. If a is
unequal to b, the result is true. If a is equal to b, the
result is false. If a or b is null, the result is false.
= Assign value Assigns the value of the right operand to the left
operand. For example, the expression a = b means
that the value of b is assigned to a.
*= Multiply and Multiplies the left operand with the right operand
assign value and assigns the result to the left operand. For
example, the expression a *= b is equivalent to the
expression a = a*b.
/= Divide and Divides the left operand with the right operand and
assign value assigns the result to the left operand. For example,
the expression a /= b is equivalent to the expression
a = a/b.
%= Get remainder Gets the remainder of the left and right operands
and assign value and assigns the result to the left operand. For
example, the expression a %= b is equivalent to the
expression a = a%b.
+= Add and assign Adds the left and right operands and assigns the
value result to the left operand. For example, the
expression a += b is equivalent to the expression a
= a + b.
-= Subtract and Subtracts the right operand from the left operand
assign value and assigns the result to the left operand. For
example, the expression a -= b is equivalent to the
expression a = a - b.
and or && And Performs the logic And operation on two Boolean
values. The result is true only when both operands
are true. If one of the operands is false, the result is
false.
or or || Or Performs the logic Or operation on two Boolean
values. The result is true when one of the two
operands is true. If result is false only when both
operands are false.
