Hi Dev team,<br><br>Its been fascinating to watch the growth of this tool. Here is my question:<br><br>Rule x:<br>if <br> a = 5<br> b = 3<br>then<br> c = 0<br><br>Now, I have written this rule to run when a = 5 and b =3. But actually, I would like it to ideally run when a = 5 and b = 3 and c != 0
<br><br>Now, does the second scenario lead to any savings. In Ilog, the second scenario will result in the rule NOT being added to the agenda whereas it would in the first.<br><br>I cannot code the second scenario into the rule as the rule ( as seen in UI) needs to match the requirements version ( in Doors) and they do not want to add these to the requirements. I would just like to make the second version for performance. We have noticed that less number of rules would fire.
<br><br>Now, if a = 5, b = 3 and c = 0, is there a way Drools can look at it and say, let me not fire this rule since there is no practical use anyways. <br>If not, what are the ways to automate not firing rules in scenarios where action does NOT cause updates to data.
<br><br>Thanks!!<br>
