PARSER FOR GENERATING FINANCIAL MANAGER APPLICATION RULES
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving one or more business rules generated from a graphical format of a calculation manager, the one or more business rules generated in a first language and first format;
loading data for the one or more business rules into a structure for parsing;
reading data for a node in the set of nodes of the structure until data in the node is encountered in which a business decision is needed; and
parsing data read for the node to facilitate conversion of the parsed data to a financial manager rule in a second format and a second language compatible with a financial manager based on a conversion rule associated with the business decision.

Abstract
In one embodiment, one or more business rules are received from a calculation manager. A calculation manager allows a user to generate the rules using a graphical format. The business rules are generated in a mark-up language, such as extensible mark-up language (XML). Data for the one or more business rules is loaded into a data structure for parsing. Data for the nodes may be read in by a token parser. When the token parser encounters a token, a business decision is determined. The token parser analyzes the data for the node to determine how to convert it to a business rule for the financial manager. This process continues as nodes are read in and with each token that is encountered, a business decision is determined until the rule for the financial manager is generated.
