[rules-users] Package Snapshot question

Hi, I have read several posts regarding package snapshot and still have few questions. The is the goal of our exercise: Find out a solution for a <specific process> in such a way that we can deploy any changes made with no or minimal code changes required. We are investigating drool as POC for this process. This is what i know about package snapshots: it allows one to lockdown any changes made to the assests. These changes will not affect the application. This will help us because when our business partners are making changes to the rules or updating the exisiting one, prod application will not be impacted. ChangeSet.xml file will have to point this snapshot url These are the questions i have: I see there are 3 options when dealing with snapshot: 1)create new one: When creating a new one, i believe i will have to make changes to the changeset.xml file everytime its creation. Can i configure this file in way that it automatically reads the package(s) created so i dont have keep on updating it? Under what scenarion this is a good option to use? 2)modify/replace existing one If i select this option , the benifit will be that i dont have to change the xml file. However what happens if there are problems and we have to revert back to the old package. Does the system save old version of the package before updating it with a new one? 3) My current POC's xml file points to the LATEST. Is there a benifit in just using this and not using snapshot? How risky this is? will i be able to access previous version of the package/rule in case of a disaster. You input is greatly appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/Package-Snapshot-question-tp4022679.html Sent from the Drools: User forum mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
