[rules-users] executing ruleflow with AgendaFilter

[Kris Verlaenen]

Michal,

A ruleset node only continues if the ruleflow group is it associated
with is deactivated.  A ruleflow group is deactivated automatically if
it contains no more activations or if you deactivate it manually.  By
using an agenda filter, you are not executing the activation and thus
the activation is never removed from the ruleflow group.  Therefore, the
process will keep waiting.  This is expected behavior.  Why were you
expecting it to continue?  I guess you would need some other kind of
"filter" that not prevents the activation from firing but cancels
activations that are not accepted by the filter?
