literal

The literal keyword specifies a literal ordering of the rules executed in a rule task.

Purpose

This keyword is used to specify how the rules are ordered and how many rules are executed in a rule task.

Context

Rule task definitions

Syntax

ruletask ruleTaskName 
{
   [ordering = dynamic|sorted|literal;] 
};  

Description

The keyword ordering specifies how the rules are sorted.

Note: If you try to use the literal or sorted mode with the RetePlus algorithm, an error message warns you in the Problems tab of Rule Designer. This usage is deprecated. Use those ordering modes with the sequential or the Fastpath algorithm.
