Hi all, after a long (weeks!) on and off debugging session between my development environment and the customer's deployment I finally found the issue. This might interest others here and then I have a related question.
D2W application with one rule file with some 600+ rules, development on Lion with Eclipse/WOlips 3.4, deployment on Solaris Problem: ------------ Customer complained that some things did not work correctly that are supposed to be set from the rules. It worked in my environment but not at the customer's. Cross checked all rules, compared rule file, cleaned and regenerated app - it worked. Great, must have been some stuff hanging around that got cleaned. Continued working, giving next revision to customer -> sometimes similar problems. Some rules obviously just not firing. Solution: ----------- Eventually I found one or two rules that were identical on the LHS (including priority) but RHS was different. Thus it was clear that depending on outside temperature and constellation of the stars sometime one or the other rule fired. As the rule file was constantly updated and rewritten the situation changed every time. After finding the duplicate and removing it everything was stable. QUESTION: --------------- Is there a tool that helps finding such duplicate contradicting rules? There might be more lurking in the rule file and eventually causing headache. How are you dealing with such a case? Duplicate rules can probably not really be avoided as one is trying things out during development. Displaying the rules in RuleModeler sorted LHS and checking visually for duplicates is not feasible because some rules are very long and a 50" screen would be needed (sorry, haven't one) Thanks for help/ideas ---markus--- _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
