Hi Awhwini, IMO, if you don't want the LHS of each rule to reference a Schedule object you'd be better of either:- (b) Using AgendaGroups: The default Agenda Group could contain rules to decide which schedule needs to be activated. The RHS of these rules would set the focus to the applicable Agenda Group containing all the rules associated with the schedule. (a) Using a different RuleBase for each schedule; but the "which schedule to activate" decision would be either undertaken in hard-coded Java or another RuleBase that returns an object indicating which other Rulebase to use. Option (a) is probably the cleaner approach. With kind regards, Mike ________________________________ From: rules-users-bounces(a)lists.jboss.org [mailto:rules-users-bounces@lists.jboss.org] On Behalf Of Ashwini Joshi Sent: 11 July 2007 08:08 To: rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org Subject: [rules-users] Set of rules needs to be executed based on somecondition Hi, We have a requirement that each set of rules is associated with a schedule that defines when this rule needs to be executed. So I need to check whether date, time and week matches and only then execute the set of rules. I don't want to check the schedule for each rule. I want to do it only once for each set of rule. What feature of rules engine can I use for this? Thanks, Ashwini DISCLAIMER ========== This e-mail may contain privileged and confidential information which is the property of Persistent Systems Pvt.
