<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Is
there a way to set the date while executing the rules? The effective dates
would be checked against this date instead of today’s date. By default
the effective dates would be checked with System date. But in some cases we
would need to execute the rules in a ‘back-dated’ mode.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Let’s
say in insurance industry there are commission calculation rules for an agent. On
these rules the effective dates are appropriate (as per their needs). Now when
an agent is promoted and his/her promotion date is couple of months back then
we would want to calculate the commission once again with the date as 2 months
back.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>The
nearest I could see is TimeMachine, as this is being used during execution of
rules. Although I could not find a way to set the TimeMachine in release 4.0.4.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
