Re: [rules-users] Guvnor and Global Functions

Mike, Thank you. I'd swap to 5.5.0 in an instant if I knew it could import all of my Guvnor data from 5.1.1. I know back when 5.2.0 came out the guided rules wouldn't import properly, has that changed? At this point I have thousands of rules in a couple hundred different packages, with 30+ customers accessing the rules at any one time. We would love to keep up to date, but the import not working is holding us back.

Go to the package you require the globally shared asset to be within. Select "Create New Asset" and then the option to import from the Global Area. 5.1.1 is *really* old and you're running a risk of getting next to little support here, as we concentrate our efforts on the later releases. 5.5.0.Final (or 5.4.0.Final if you don't want the latest and greatest) is vastly superior and I would recommend you giving it a try.

I'm assuming I would go the package screen for V222 (and other packages) and would use the Advanced view to add an import statement, but I'm not sure I understand how to form this import statement.

This said, however, you still need to import them from the Global Area into individual packages. Think of the import as a symlink\shortcut to the shared asset.

In the Global Area of Guvnor, under functions, I've created a function called splitDiagnosis. In another package, we'll call it V222, I have a rule called LoadDiag. In the Then section of the rule, I set the value of a field "=splitDiagnosis(diag,type)" When run through our live software, the rule errors out because it evidently does not see the global area. If the rule is in the local package, then it works properly, but I have dozens of packages that all need access to this function and I don't want to keep copying it from one package to another. I must be missing something to tell package V222 to include the global area. Any thoughts?
