Checkpoints

When a user submits a database clone ticket, Data Management (DMS) checks whether the ticket conforms to the rules specified under the checkpoint. Approval Rule Validation: In DMS, the database clone tickets are processed based on the rules specified under the Approval Rule Validation checkpoint. You can use the default rules provided in the template database of security rules or Create a rule.

Actions

An action in a security rule is an operation that DMS performs when the IF condition in the rule is met. For example, DMS can forbid the submission of a ticket, select an approval process, approve a ticket, or reject a ticket. An action in a security rule shows the purpose of the security rule. An action name consists of the prefix @act. and the display name of the action. Each module provides different actions for different checkpoints. The following table describes the actions provided for the checkpoints in Database Clone.

Action	Description
@act.forbid_submit_order	Forbids the submission of the ticket. The statement is in the following format: `@act.forbid_submit_order 'Reasons for forbidding the submission of the ticket'`.
@act.do_not_approve	Specifies the ID of an approval template. For more information, see Configure approval processes.
@act.choose_approve_template
@act.choose_approve_template_with_reason

The following is an example of the DSL statement for a rule:

if  1 > 0
then  
  @act.choose_approve_template 853
end
