I am unfamiliar with the &quot;date-effective&quot; attribute so will not comment.<div><br></div><div>However, regarding getting a r<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; ">ule to run on a specified time every day, I would suggest use of an external scheduler (Windows Task Scheduler, CRON, Quartz etc) that invokes a process to trigger execution of the activations on the agenda (i.e. fireAllRules) at the specified time every day. It is important to remember that Rule activations are determined when Facts are inserted into WorkingMemory. The activations collect on the agenda and are executed when fireAllRules() is invoked. So you *could* perform your WorkingMemory actions (insert, update, retract etc) throughout the day and only trigger the resulting actions when you want. </span></div>

</span></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"><span></span></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"><span>I am using 4.0. I 
have a requirement to execute a rule only during a specified time of a given 
day</span></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"><span></span></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"><span>While going through 
the documentation I found that I could use the date-effective attribute to 
specify the date and time</span></font></div>

<h4><a name="12b5c1f7b8fd728f_d0e3110"></a><em><font face="Arial">6.5.1.8. date-effective</font></em></h4></div></div></div>
<p><em><font face="Arial">default value : N/A</font></em></p>
<p><em><font face="Arial">type : String, which contains a Date/Time 
definition</font></em></p>
<p><em><font face="Arial">A rule can only activate if the current date and time is 
after date-effective attribute.</font></em></p>
<p><span><font face="Arial">But while trying out the 
same, the engine recognizes only the day and not the time. How do I specify the 
time? So far I have been using the std format HH:MM:SS , tried both 12-hr and 24 
-hr format but no luck. Please help.</font></span></p>
<p><span><font face="Arial">Also, I would like to know 
how can I make a rule run on a specified time everyday. With date-effective 
specifying a date would be mandatory? Is thr a way or I need to put that in the 
rule condition part.</font></span></p>
