A system dynamically integrates, into an application program that implements rules for controlling business operations, changes in parameters and parameter groupings that are used by or in conjunction with the rules. A dynamic business logic rule integrator provides the rules to the application software as executable routines, and a dynamic parameter manager organizes and manages the parameters. The manager integrates changes to the parameters, groups and/or links the parameters, and makes the parameters available to the rules through a dynamically configurable system database—using a set of static tables and related dynamically configurable tables, in which certain database fields or sub-fields correspond to the parameters and the tables, fields and sub-fields are established and linked together in accordance with user-defined “instances.” When parameters and their groupings are changed the manager updates, creates and/or removes database tables, and the revised tables are made available to the rules.
