Planner with a list of planning variables
by Justin Case
Hello all,
can I use as planning variable a list of values?
Here's a test use case: planning a food recipe, where the recipe can have say maximally 5 ingredients (taken from the solution property, I guess). So far I could find in the examples and documentation, it's all about ONE planning variable in the solution, but here I'd need a LIST of such... is it actually doable this way?
I cannot do it the other way around, as an ingredient may be found in more recipes...
Many thanks,
JC

Optaplanner: Unexpected global [scoreHolder]

I am using Optaplanner 6.0.0-Beta2 and I am in some cases receiving the

I noticed this error in gist:

If this is the same error, what are the current constraints that I need
adhere to in order to avoid this error?

Date equal comparison fails - don't understand why
by Saloojee, Karim
Hi
I am comparing SimpleAccount( dateAccountOpened == "5-Feb-2011")
where dateAccountOpened is "Sat Feb 05 00:00:00 GMT+02:00 2011" (if you
call toString()). The equal comparator fails (==) but the greater than
comparator passes (>) which I don't understand.
I feel I am missing something obvious here, but I have no idea what it
is.
rule "Test date equality"
when
$acc : SimpleAccount( dateAccountOpened == "5-Feb-2011")
then
System.out.println("Expected and found an account opened
on 5-Feb-2011: " + $acc);
end
rule "Some dates are more equal than others"
when
$acc : SimpleAccount( dateAccountOpened > "5-Feb-2011")
then
System.out.println("Unexpected match: " +
$acc.getDateAccountOpened());
end
Regards,
Karim

Transaction problems in high concurrency JBPM+Drools+Hibernate instalation
by Alberto R. Galdo
Hi guys,
We have an application built around long running JBPM processes with a
large user base and high concurrency ... early on we began to have issues
with transactions in JBPM and nowadays are watching lots of different
realizations of transaction managing problems that lead to dead human tasks
( state: ERROR ), errors running processes and so on ( different
exceptions follows ):

So, we're running this installation by the manual. Are using JBoss 7 as
application server, it's transaction manager, Hibernate 4.x as entity
manager, our connection pool delivers READ_COMMITED connections ( so does
hibernate ) ...
Is there anything else we should be doing to avoid this transactional
problems? Has anyone ever tested JBPM in such concurrent scenario? Any
experiences?

Drools server and knowledge agent functionality
by Manuel Ortiz
Hello everybody:
I am taking a look at Drools Integration documentation to understand how
Drools server works and how can be used, and have a doubt concerning, let's
say... 'KnowledgeAgent capabilities'. Does Drools server support on the fly
rule updating as when using KnowledgeAgent to create KnowledgeBase objects?
If it does, where can be configured 'KnowledgeAgent related' properties such
as newInstance or resource scanner interval?
Thank you in advance for your time.
Kind regards,
Manuel Ortiz.

Problem with chained planning variables
by Juan Ignacio Barisich
Hi everybody.
I have a problem with chained planning variables.
I'm using optaplanner 5.5.0.Final.
I have a planning entity like:
@PlanningEntity()
public class Case implements Chained {
private Chained previous;
@PlanningVariable(chained = true)
@ValueRanges({
@ValueRange(type = ValueRangeType.FROM_SOLUTION_PROPERTY,
solutionProperty = "doctors"),
@ValueRange(type = ValueRangeType.FROM_SOLUTION_PROPERTY,
solutionProperty = "cases", excludeUninitializedPlanningEntity = true) })
public Chained getPrevious() {
return previous;
}
}
A fact class:
public class Doctor implements Chained {
...
}
An a solution class:
public class Plan extends implements Solution<HardAndSoftScore> {
private List<Doctor> doctors;
private List<Case> cases;
private HardAndSoftScore score;
@PlanningEntityCollectionProperty
public List<Case> getCases() {
return cases;
}
public Collection<? extends Object> getProblemFacts() {
return new ArrayList<Doctor>(doctors);
}
}
The equals / hashCode / clone methods are inspired on the
TravelingSalesmanTour example.
I want that Optaplanner generates chains like:
DoctorA <- Case1 <- Case2
DoctorB <- Case3
This model tries to represent a list of Cases assigned to each Doctor.
Suppose I build a solution like:
Plan plan = new Plan();
plan.setDoctors(DoctorA, DoctorB); //pseudo-code
plan.setCases(Case1, Case2); //pseudo-code
Then I build a solver:
Solver solver = getSolverFactory().buildSolver();
solver.setPlanningProblem(plan);
solver.solve();
Plan bestPlan = (Plan) solver.getBestSolution();
The problem is that, Optaplanner is not testing all the posible
combinations of chains. I mean, suppose that we know that the better
solution (based on the scoring rules) is:
DoctorA
DoctorB <- Case1 <- Case2
But Optaplanner seems to test only chains with DoctorA, so the result of
calling getBestSolution() is:
DoctorA <- Case1 <- Case2
I guess that Optaplanner only test chains whit DoctorA, becouse it logs
lines like:
...
DEBUG: org.drools.planner.core.localsearch.DefaultLocalSearchSolverPhase
- Step index (1), time spend (20002), score (1hard/2soft), best
score (1hard/2soft), accepted/selected move count (0/58187) for picked step
(Case [id=2, previous=Doctor [id=1]] => Case [id=1, previous=Case [id=2,
previous=Doctor [id=1]]]).
...
That is, no lines whith "DoctorB" are logged.
If the doctor list is inverted, the same problem happen (the DoctorA is no
processed). That is:
Plan plan = new Plan();
plan.setDoctors(DoctorB, DoctorA); //pseudo-code
plan.setCases(Case1, Case2); //pseudo-code
Solver solver = getSolverFactory().buildSolver();
solver.setPlanningProblem(plan);
solver.solve(); // DoctorA is not part of chains
I guess the problem is on the solver configuration, specifically on the
localSearch configuration:
<localSearch>
<unionMoveSelector>
<changeMoveSelector>
<valueSelector/>
</changeMoveSelector>
<swapMoveSelector />
<subChainChangeMoveSelector>
<selectReversingMoveToo>true</selectReversingMoveToo>
</subChainChangeMoveSelector>
<subChainSwapMoveSelector>
<selectReversingMoveToo>true</selectReversingMoveToo>
</subChainSwapMoveSelector>
</unionMoveSelector>
<acceptor>
<planningEntityTabuSize>9</planningEntityTabuSize>
</acceptor>
<forager>
<minimalAcceptedSelection>2000</minimalAcceptedSelection>
</forager>
</localSearch>
I tried some alternatives to this configuration, but with no success.
Do you know what I am doing wrong?
Thanks a lot.

Question about custom accumulation functions
by Bruno Freudensprung
Hi,
While testing my custom accumulation function I noticed an unexpected
behavior (th'ats of course a personal point of view).
It seems that Drools 5.1 calls accumulate(...) and getResult(...) as
many times as the number of accumulated facts (accumulate, getResult,
accumulate, getResult, etc...).
Is it supposed to work like this?
Best regards,
Bruno.
