That's a good idea about setting a flag. I'm new to drools so I'm
really only scratching the surface so far.

I suggest this is one for the JBoss Rules team to clarify.
Can they please provide a little more narrative as to the (expected)
operation of activation-group?
If your understanding is correct this sounds like a bug - a workaround
for which will be to have a "processed" flag on each Order and have the
RHS of each rule set the flag. All LHS's would need to include a pattern
to check the Order has not been processed - but I guess you knew this.
At least the problem has been clarified ;-)

There are multiple orders with flowId == 1798. If I remove the
activation-group I believe that 2 orders are processed by the rule with
their specific stage as well as the last rule and any orders that don't
meet the stage criteria will trigger the last rule. Without the
activation-group all orders are processed, some multiple times.
My understanding of the manual is that if I have X number of rules that
belong to the activation-group with various salience values that each
Order will be processed by the rules and the one with the highest
salience will be fired and the rest will be ignored. Once that's
complete the next order will come through and repeat the process. What
I'm experiencing is that the first order to trigger any rule in that
activation-group will disable the entire activation group and no further
orders will be processed.

Do you have multiple Orders with a flowId == 1798?
What if you remove the activation-group (for testing) do multiple Orders
get processed (all be it, possibly, each one multiple times)?
If not it could point towards a problem with either the implementation
or understanding of activation-groups (from the manual):-
Rules that belong to the same named activation-group will only fire
exclusively. In other words, the first rule in an activation-group to
fire will cancel the other rules activations (stop them from firing).
The Activation group attribute is any string, as long as the string is
identical for all the rules you need to be in the one group.
Does this mean one rule in the activation group will fire for all
asserted facts or one in the group per asserted fact?
I've not used activation-groups so my questions aren't necessarily aimed
at you Joe.

I'm not making any changes to the orders at all if that's what you're
thinking.
[when]workflow in stage "{value}"=order : Order( stages contains
"{value}" ) [when]order is {value}=order: Order( id == {value} )
[when]flowid is {value}=order: Order( flowId == {value} ) [when]workflow
in stage "{value}"=order: Order( stages contains "{value}" );
[then]assign prov plan=OTISHelper.assignProvPlan(
order.getDocumentNumber(), order.getProvPlanName() ); [then]complete
task "{value}"=OTISHelper.completeProvPlanTask(
order.getDocumentNumber(), "{value}", "JAVATEAM",
"JWB_TEST" );
[when]workflow isnt in stage "{value}"=order: Order( stages excludes
"{value}" ); [when]has provplan=order : Order( provPlanName != "" )
[when]order type isnt "{value}"=order : Order( orderType != "{value}"
)

I've read the manual but as I stated below only the first order seems to
trigger a rule. The other orders are completely ignored. I would
expect one rule in the group to trigger for each order.

from documentation
3.5.3.5. activation-group
default value N/A
type : String
Rules that belong to the same named activation-group will only fire
exclusively. In other words, the first rule in an activation-group to
fire will cancel the other rules activations (stop them from firing).
The Activtion group attribute is any string, as long as the string is
identical for all the rules you need to be in the one group.
NOTE: this used to be called Xor group, but technically its not quite an
Xor, but you may hear people mention Xor group, just swap that term in
your mind with activation-group.

All,
I'm trying to setup three rules to process orders as a test case. The
first two rules look for specific conditions and the third one is the
default rule. I only want a single rule to fire for each order that I
pass into the engine. I gave all three rules the same
activation-group.
The first two rules have a salience of 10 and the third rule has the
default salience value. The problem that I'm experiencing is that
only one order is processed and the rest are skipped.
Here's a snippet from the rules file:
rule "837621 - Stage 5"
activation-group "Harris"
salience 10
when
flowid is 1798
workflow in stage "5"
then
assign prov plan "Harris Gtwy-ChXchange-New Loop"
complete task "FAC VER"
end
rule "828257 - New Order"
activation-group "Harris"
salience 10
when
flowid is 1798
workflow in stage "1"
then
assign prov plan "Harris Gtwy-ChXchange-New Loop"
end
rule "1798 Default"
activation-group "Harris"
salience 0
when
flowid is 1798
then
assign prov plan "Harris Gtwy-ChXchange-New Loop"=
end
Any Ideas?
