<DIV><FONT face=Arial>A RuleFlow simply makes sure your rules are evaluated in a
specific order. Both strategies are possible, but I believe there are some
small differences:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial> - If you first insert all your debts and then
activate the ruleflow, all orders will progress through the ruleflow at the same
time (e.g. first apply all rules of set1 and then set2). If you would use
separate ruleflows per debt, each debt can be handled
independently.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial> - It will sometimes be harder to identify one
specific debt if you insert all your debts at once</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I think using a separate ruleflow for each of the orders
would be the best solution here, as each debt can and will be handled
independently (you could have multiple working memories working in parallel to
handle the load).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>If you want to make sure only one rule gets activated in a
specific ruleflow group, you can, as already stated earlier, use an activation
group. This will make sure only one of the rules in that activation group
will be executed for that debt. You could also manually deactivate the
ruleflow-group in the rule consequence (using
drools.getWorkingMemory().getAgenda().<FONT
size=2>deactivateRuleFlowGroup("name")), but I would suggest using activation
groups if possible (as they are more powerful and built for these kinds of
things specifically).</FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Hi,<BR><BR>I have to compute the gravity of a debt according to
a set of rules organized in a ruleflow. I will have to process about ten
thousands debts every minute.<BR>There is no dependency between the debts. All
the rules are applied to one debt.<BR><BR>What is the best strategy?<BR><BR>-
Insert all the debts, and start the ruleflow process<BR> or<BR>- (Insert
one debt, start the ruleflow process) for each debt<BR><BR>Another
question:<BR><BR>If a rule "r1" in the ruleflow group "rfg1" is fired on a
debt "d1", can a second rule "r2" in the same ruleflow group be fired on the
same debt "d1"?<BR><BR>
