anyone interested, you need to switch into ‘JBoss Rules’

a node, information about the node would be displayed there (Properties tab won’t

rete diagram you can can help it with understanding performance. If you click
on a node it tells you the type. Which are roughly<br>
root, object type node, alpha node, join node, not node, exists node, eval node
and terminal node. Can't remenber which has which colour, but you should be
able to figure it out, we discuss the node types briefly in the manual.<br>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><font size=2 color=black

that by default the diagram is displayed in ‘layers’ of dots. In my
case I have 7 layers, the top one being the ‘root’ I assume (single
white circle). The ‘widest’ layer is the middle one – the
forth layer. So, generally the diagram has a diamond shape. I wonder if one can
use this kind of visual information to make a rough estimation/assumption on
how efficient his rules/constraints are, some hints into optimization, etc….<u1:p></u1:p></span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
