Hi,
Just to make sure. I would like to migrate the attached excel decision table to Guvnor. Can you make a suggestion? Migrate or not migrate based on the current possibilities/features of Guvnor.
Kind regards and thanks in advance.

Hi all,
I've a number of Excel based decision tables running in my
applications. Now I want to use Guvner to manage these rules.
Only importing the xsl files is not enough. So I have to
manually convert the xsl's to a web based decision table.
Why do you need to convert them into web based DTs? What's the
problem if you simply upload your xls file? Keep in mind that you
also have to provide (upload) a model used in your DT.
>>>I want to convert my excel decision table to enable busines users to update the rules when neccessary.
I see, and I guess, it's not possible for those users to update rules in OpenOffice/Excel and upload them to Guvnor? See my answers below, but they won't satisfy you ;)
I have following questions :
- How do have have to use an eval condition? Whitin the eval I
have to call a piece of java code with a number of parameters
coming from the fact model.
simply write a snippet in a cell
>>> In Govnor?
AFAICT that's not possible in web based DTs. Would need to be done as part of some 'free form drl' I guess...
- How can I prioritize rules?
use the PRIORITY keyword
>>> In Govnor?
Yep, in Guvnor, this attribute is called salience (available from the options section).
- How to use global variables?
use the Variables keyword
>>> In Govnor?
Globals are still available, but the use of them is quite limited (you can't add results to a java.util.List for example).
Strange, works for me.
Cheers,
Jarek
Thanks for helping me out.
Kind regards,
