<p class="MsoNormal">Have had this in the back of my mind most of the day...the more I think on it, the more I suspect that you could abuse extends on the multiple conditions, automatically rename each rule "part" (being a single-condition rule derived from
the original) to some derivation of the original rule name, and need the consequence only in the fully-extended rule, thereby giving the same effect, but with rule "parts" that would reflect failure at the individual condition level. I've been mucking with
a migraine since lunch, so it's possible that I'm off with my thought process, but I might run with this on the weekend if it passes group litmus...any thoughts?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style=mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto>The requirement does seem to come up from business users who don't understand what's going on inside a rules engine. For instance, if I create a trade request for account 15, then
should I be logging that the "Account 188 is permitted to trade USD" rule (and 100 other similar rules) didn't fire and that it was because the request wasn't for account 188? Once the knowledge base reaches any kind of realistic size, this kind of auditing
becomes meaningless. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style=mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto>To be honest, I rather thought that this was the role of working memory event listeners. Just create a listener to the facts your rule is interested in and you can log the values
of the properties your rule looks at over time, and you can log which rules fired. If a rule does't fire, then you can see the state of all the facts in the working memory at that time.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style=mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto>This request turns up a lot. If you dig deeper into the Rete algorithm and examine how it works, you'll find that the node relations and redundancy elimination greatly abstracts
away from what we think of as the LHS of a rule. In the node network, it's no longer a set of conditions grouped together for each rule that are checked for true/false collectively. I can't think of a way to accomplish this without severely impacting performance
as I think you'd essentially end up evaluating all of your rules with a secondary algorithm. However, I only claim to know that I know very little, so grain of salt.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>If you need to know all the reasons why a rule doesn't fire you'll have to evaluate all relevant conditions individually and keep track of the positives. (See a very recent thread on this list.)<o:p></o:p></p>
