Re: [rules-users] no-loop & lock-on-active clarification

Thanks Greg. >As for lock-on-active, it should be used in conjunction with a ruleflow-group or agenda-group. It's >basically no-loop for the entire group, as I understand it. I don't see either a ruleflow-group or >agenda-group defined for those rules. Did you do that? - no. I'm not using a ruleflow-group or agenda-group. 1. Even if I dont use agenda-group explicitly, all rules are in "main" agenda group right. shouldn't we use lock-on-active without explicit agenda-group or rule-flow group? I can understand result #1 & #2. It would be nice if some one clarify result # 3 & #4 of my example. here both rules have 'update'. > 3. when lock-on-active for rule "1 precondition" and no-loop for rule "1 > main condition" used, both rule got fired correctly. > 4. when lock-on-active for rule "1 maincondition" and no-loop for rule "1 > precondition" used, only rule "1 , then only precondition" got executed > for all facts.
