[rules-users] Agenda Groups and Salience

[Dean Whisnant]

I've done it both with setting the value and forcing salience to evaluate in a certain order and using the update a value with and without salience.

It's odd because when I was doing this on a standalone machine in Eclipse it all seemed to work fine, but now that I've moved rules into Guvnor I'm having issues with it.  Could there be something I did in calling agenda groups that could have removed the working of salience?

Also, I was using no-loop to make sure I didn't run the same rule over and over.  It only effects things if the rule has fired for one specific instance, correct?

Thank you!

Do you inform the engine that values have changed in your RHS:-

then
    modify( incomingClaim ) {
       setMedicare(true);
    }
    ...
end

Hello,

Are there any conflicts in 5.1 between using salience and agenda groups?

I have three sets of rules 1) base software, 2) Trading Partner Specific, 3)  Customer Specific.

These three sets are split into different Guvnor packages and all of #1 have an agenda group of "base", all of #2 have an agenda group of "tradingpartner" and all of #3 have no agenda group assigned.

We load all the rules to the knowledge session, letting it know to fire them in that order.

In my #1 set I have a few hundred rules.  About 10 of those rules it matters what individual order they fire in so I was setting up salience for them as well.

Rule #1 has a salience of 21000 and it's job is to see if this is the first line item of a claim and if so to instantiate a new object, hasCOB.

Rule #2 has a salience of 20900 and checks to see if the incoming claim is medicare and if so, sets a Boolean, hasMedicare, to true and then does some output so I know if it set it

Rule #3 has a salience of 20900 and checks to see if the incoming claim is other insurance and if so, sets a Boolean, hasOther, to true and then does some output so i know if it set it

Rule #4 has a salience of 20800 and looks to see if there is a hasCOB object with hasMedicare = to true and then does output so I know if it worked

Rule #5 has a salience of 20800 and looks to see if there is a hasCOB object with hasOther = to true and then does output so I know if it worked

So I run a sample file through that hasCOB and should set hasOther to true.

Rule #1 fires and creates hasCOB
Rule #3 fires and sets hasOther to true and gives me output
Rule #5 doesn't fire???

Whether or not salience is the best method to accomplish this, shouldn't this work?  DO you see a better way to accomplish this?  Rules 4 and 5 are dummy rules here for testing, but what comes next is calculations based upon the existence of hasOther and/or hasMedicare.

I'm at a loss here and any thoughts/help would be welcomed...

Thank you!

Dean
