Hi, If you have multiple rules where its important that rule 1 be fired on the data first and then rule 2 how can we do this without specifying the salience factor? I do not want my rules to be dependant on each other as the data I am passing differs from each other. Ex: Room{ Name, Id, Status, } Fire{ Room, FireType} Sprinkler{ Room, SprinklerType status} I pass all data above into my working memory. I have rules: Rule 1: “if fire exists update room status to ‘fire’” Rule 2: “if room has status ‘fire’ update sprinkler status to ‘room number’” Now when I pass my javabean objects: if theobject of type sprinkler gets processed first it will never get the room number even if actually the room has status ‘fire’ If I specify salience feature then It will never work for my sprinkler objects and always be multichained. I don’t want chaining between my rules. Any suggestions???
