I know this
work around. But I have more than 50 rules using that attribute and it looks
very ugly to put null on every rule and its not single attribute. There are
more than 30 attributes in the bean and using them in LHS. Any other sophisticated
way?

This decides which rule actions can go on the agenda. Only when a rule action is on the agenda is the salience used to determine the order of action firing.
