Hi all,<br>
<br>
I know there are some basic ways to chain rules together, by setting flags<br>
in consequences that are checked in the conditions of other rules...<br>
<br>
but in a large system based on rule templates, where thousands of rules are<br>
generated, it is not feasible to chain rules in this manner, especially when<br>
they are chained in a somewhat arbitrary fashion<br>
(eg. True if Rule 130 AND Rule 200 AND Rule 480 fire)<br>
<br>
has anyone had this situation before? would I need to execute this as a<br>
post-processing step? or, is there any design pattern that will allow rules<br>
to be chained, preferably in a manageable way?<br>
<br>
regards,<br>
Daniel<br>
