Re: [rules-users] Specific Agenda strategy to control which rulesto fire

Hi Wolfgang, I'm interested with your reply and am trying to better understand it (although the use-case has nothing to do with what I do!) The Score class has a constructor taking Deal and level (assume to be akin to "priority" in the original post); however your example Fact insertions exclude level for the Score Fact. I assume Score's level should be initially set to the highest (most granular) level; e.g. 2 in the example cited (ranging from 0-2)? It's good to see and understand other's approaches.

Add a simple class: class Score{ int level; int coun; Deal deal; Book book; Score( Deal deal, int level ){...} } and insert an instance along with the Deal to be classified: insert( deal ); insert( new Score( deal ) ); Rules for level 2 would be written according to: rule "trader and product" salience 10 when $s : Score( level == 2, $d : deal ) Deal( this == $d, trader=="Alex", product == "GOOG" ) then $s.setCount( $s.getCount() + 1 ); $s.setBook( "B2" ); end Then you'll need a couple of rules handling success and failure: rule "post level success" salience 5 when $s : Score( $l : level, count == 1, $d : deal, $b : book ) then assign $d to $b, retract $d retract( $s ); end rule "post level failure" salience 5 when $s : Score( $l : level, count != 1 ) then modify( $s ){ setLevel( $l - 1 ); } end Rules for level 1 would also be at salience 10. A rule for level == 0 should catch Deals "gone down" through all levels. -W 2009/10/28 Costigliola Joel (EXT) <joel.costigliola-ext(a)natixis.com&gt; Hello all, I need some help to to set a specific Agenda strategy in order to control finely which activated rules will be fired. Problem context : ----------------- My company is a bank where traders are making deals on markets, these deals must be classified in book, this is what we call "booking process". Booking is done according to booking criteria : which trader has made the deal ? on which product ? wich market ? etc ... A booking rule defines a set of criteria and the target book where the deal will classified, it also has a priority, note that it is ok that two booking rule have same priority. I want to implement booking rule as Drools rule. Several booking rule can be applied to a deal, in that case choosing the right booking rule to fire depends on the following algorithm : - look all the activated booking rule of the highest priority, --- if there is a unique rule apply it --- if there is no unique rule (0 rule or more than one), look at rules of a lesser priority and apply the same logic. Next section is an example that will clear things (I hope). Example : --------- A deal D1 has been done by Alex on NY market to buy Google stocks. We have 3 booking rules : - BR1 : criteria = trader=Alex / book = B1 - BR2 : criteria = trader=Alex and product = google stock / book = B2 As BR2 is more precise than BR1, il will matches the deal and book it in B1 If the deal was on another product, BR1 would have been applied. Things gets more complicated when 2 rules of same priority can be applied. Let's imagine we add the following booking rule - BR3 : criteria = trader=Alex and market = NY / book = B3 We have a problem to book D1 since BR2 and BR3 can be applied but have same priority. We can't choose one over the other thus we must apply a less precise/prioritary rule (if unique at its own precision level). In my example, that would lead to apply BR1. Question : ---------- If I define BR1,BR2,BR3 as Drools rules, how can I tell Drools : - to execute a rule only if there is no other active rule with same precision that could be applied ? - to look for a unique matching rule with less precision level ? I think it's the Agenda responsibility to take this decision, but I don't know how implement that. Can you give some advices on that ?
