You run a rule analysis cycle to check the integrity of
a rule project.
About this task
When you run a rule analysis cycle to check the integrity
of a rule project, you go through the following steps:
Generate an analysis report by selecting the rule project and
the extraction options.
Resolve each ambiguity and conflict listed.
Instantiate the missing rules found, if applicable: select
a package, name the rule, and edit the conditions and actions as necessary.
Rerun the analysis cycle to check for any remaining errors
and repeat the process as appropriate.
Procedure
To run a report on a rule project:
- In the Rule Explorer, right-click
a rule project and click Open Rule Analysis.
- Click
Select
Rule Project and Extraction Type in the Rule
Analysis view toolbar.
- Select an extraction option in the Type of Extraction section.
The default option is Use all rules contained
in project. If you want to streamline the results of the
analysis, see Filtering the results.
- Click OK to close the Select
Rule Project and Extraction Type dialog.
- In the Analysis Options section, select
the type of checks that you want to activate.
To check
decision trees and decision tables, select the Include
decision trees and decision tables in the inter-rule checks check
box.
For more information on the checks available, see Consistency checking and Completeness analysis.
Note: If
you start the rule analysis and modify the checks selected before
the analysis is complete, the changes are not taken into account until
the next time you run the analysis.
- To search for missing rules in your rule project, select
the Completeness check box.
By
default, the analysis stops looking for missing rules when it has
found 100 missing rules. If you have a large rule project and if you
want to make sure that the analysis does not take too long, you can
modify this number and start searching for 10 missing rules, for example.
- To start the analysis, click
Run Rule Analysis in
the view toolbar. The report appears in the Results section
of the Rule Analysis view.
Note: You can also analyze rules by clicking the Analyze
rule project link in the Rule Project Map.
This link activates the analysis and refreshes the results.
You can cancel the analysis by clicking the Cancel
Operation icon in the Progress view
().
