[rules-users] Can a rule be assigned both agenda-group andruleflow-group ?

[Kris Verlaenen]

Rules can be added to both a ruleflow-group and an agenda-group.  However, 
for a rule to fire in that case, both its agenda-group AND its 
ruleflow-group should be active, otherwise a rule will NOT fire.  So simply 
calling setFocus will not work if your ruleflow is not executing that 
specific ruleset node as well.

You could try to manually activate your ruleflow-group (and deactivate 
afterwards) in combination with setFocus() if you want to fire only one rule 
using:
    workingMemory.getAgenda().activateRuleFlowGroup(name)
