activation-group may be what you are looking for. For things in the one activation group, only one rule is guaranteed to fire.<br><br>eg: activation-group "NIKE" .... <br><br>its an attribute like no-loop etc.<br>

<br>I have several rules defined in groups by Customer, so I have number of rules<br>for Walmart, some rules for NIKE, more rules for SomeCustomer... When one<br>of the rules matches for a given customer I need to send an event
<br>notification. I need to make sure that I send only ONE event notification<br>per Customer (regardless of how many rules were matched), thus after finding<br>the very first match in the Walmart group, I'd like to activate a rule, and
<br>then short-circuit and "Skip" to the next group of rules for NIKE - to see<br>if any of the matches are found in the next group.<br><br>I've implemented this functionality using a Match object, which I assert
<br>into WorkingMemory whenever I find a match for customer, then all my rules<br>check for absence of Match for given customer...<br><br>This works, but I wonder if there is a better way to do it - using Agenda<br>Groups, maybe - once I find ONE match for Walmart, skip to the next Agenda
<br>Group?! Could someone comment on this?<br><br>THanks,<br>James<br>--<br>View this message in context: <a href="http://www.nabble.com/Short-circuit-rules-by-group-%21-tf3222142.html#a8949165">http://www.nabble.com/Short-circuit-rules-by-group-%21-tf3222142.html#a8949165
