Hi @amulpuru , I think you are referring the rule Libraries . Basically in IIQ , Common methods can be defined in one rule and that particular rule can be referenced in multiple places .
Think as of Java class . You write the methods in Java class and then you import that class and use the methods .
In IIQ to use Rule Library we need to use the ReferenceRules tag . These objects will be available in same object type “Rule” .

Open Debug → select object type “Rule” and search the same with ID or Name.

Hope it helps.

Hello @amulpuru

To reference a rule library from another rule, include a <ReferencedRules> element in the rule XML, naming the rule library in the <Reference>. The methods within the library can then be invoked from within the rule’s Source element.

<Rule…>
<ReferencedRules>
 <Reference class='Rule' name='My Library'/>
</ReferencedRules>
<Source>
doSomething(); //invokes the doSomething method in My Library
</Source>
</Rule>

Note that Rule references can only be one level deep. If you have A → B → C and you run A, B will be loaded, but C will not!

<Rule name="A"...>
<ReferencedRules>
<Reference class=... name="B"/>
</ReferencedRules>
<Source>
doSomething();
</Source>

<Rule name="B"...>
<ReferencedRules>
<!-- This will be IGNORED! -->
<Reference class=... name="C"/>
</ReferencedRules>
<Source>
void doSomething() {
  // When B is loaded from A, C is not loaded, so this will throw
  // an Exception because `reallyDoSomething` is not found.
  reallyDoSomething(); 
}
</Source>

<Rule name="C"...>
<Source>
void reallyDoSomething() {
  System.out.println("You'll never see this");
}
</Source>
