<br>---------<br> 1. A decision table (DT) with rules for "all types of employees" - Call<br>it "Common DT"<br> 2. The DT mentioned in Point 1 has a condition that fetched data depending<br>on "Type Of Employee"
<br><br> 3. There are other decision tables that would like to use the the rules<br>from "Common DT", but here are the challenges:<br><br>Challenges<br>----------<br>1. Decision does not support Agenda Groups<br>
2. Using a fact; to hold the evaluated result from a DT can pass it from a<br>child to a parent; but it requires an "update()"; which can cause infinite<br>recursion if i dont have a "Execute ONE Rule Only from Table" decision variable.
<br><br>(Parent) DT - Condition 1, condition 2, Condition 3 (Actually result of Child<br>DT)<br><br><br>(Child DT)<br>... The relation is maintained using decision variables.<br><br>This relation works perfenctly good (been working for 3 months now), but issue
<br>is it creates a Sort of a Tree (with each node a DT); in shich I cannot fire a<br>common set of rules from Any Node.<br><br>As an alternative; I'm suggesting to the client to write replicated DT's for<br>each type of employee instead of 1 generic DT.
<br><br>Can anyone help?<br><br>I've been begging for agenda Groups in decision tables but I guess you guys are<br>tied up. So at a design level can you suggest a work around?<br><br>Thanks,<br>Arjun<br><br>_______________________________________________
