The Ruleset View

The Ruleset View page shows such details as name, version, and status for the selected ruleset.

Engine Compatibility
The Ruleset View shows a message for rulesets that are built with a decision engine version that is not compatible with the engine version that is embedded in the execution unit (XU). The message mentions both engine versions. For example:

The ruleset archive built with engine version 1.1.4 is not compatible with local XU engine version 1.1.5.

  • You can check out the version used to build the ruleset in ruleset.dsar/docProps/core.xml. To view the contents of the .dsar file, use a ZIP tool.

    Here is an example:

    <lastModifiedBy>IBM Decision Engine 1.1.3 with Oracle Corporation : 1.7.0_21</lastModifiedBy>
  • You can check out the version used by the Execution Unit (XU) deployed in the Rule Execution Server on the About page of the Rule Execution Server console.
In case of incompatibility, you cannot use the Test Ruleset or Retrieve HTDS Description File features.

Ruleset icon. The ruleset summary box lists the following information:

Name

The name of the ruleset.

Version

The version number of the ruleset.

Creation Date

The creation date of the ruleset.

Display Name

A name to describe the ruleset in the Rule Execution Server console.

Description

A short description of the ruleset contents.

Engine type
The type of rule engine to execute the ruleset: classic rule engine (the default engine) or decision engine.
Status

The execution status of the ruleset. You can enable or disable the ruleset. A disabled ruleset is not executed.

Debug

If this option is selected, you can use the remote debugging feature to have Rule Designer add breakpoints in the ruleset. The debug URL points to the remote machine where Rule Designer runs. This URL consists of the machine name and the selected debugger port.

In addition to the ruleset summary, the Ruleset View displays the following toggle links:
Ruleset parameters icon Ruleset Parameters
The input and output parameters defined for the ruleset.
Managed URIs icon Show/Hide Managed URIs
A list of indexed URIs to the Java™ XOM resources and libraries referenced by the ruleset. To determine precedence at run time, you can reorder the references within that table by clicking one of the Move buttons for the selected references. You can also remove a reference from the table.
Ruleset properties icon Show/Hide Properties
A table of key-value pairs that is sent to the rule engine when execution is called. For example, a property allows the ruleset to be executed in debug mode. For more information about the predefined properties, see Adding ruleset properties. You can show or hide the ruleset properties box.
Ruleset monitoring options icon Show/Hide Monitoring Options
A view of the filtering options for Decision Warehouse. You can use these options to select the execution traces to store in Decision Warehouse. For more information about the options, see Setting ruleset monitoring options. You can show or hide the monitoring options box.
Decision service properties icon. Show/Hide HTDS Options
When you use a hosted transparent decision service and you have not deployed the web service on the same server as Rule Execution Server , you can use these options to configure the URLs for the location of the hosted transparent decision service and the endpoint of the web service. You can also use those options to configure ruleset execution through the REST API.
Note: HTDS options are not available in the Rule Execution Server console for zRule Execution Server for z/OS®.

For more information about these options, see Setting HTDS options and Executing rules by using the REST API.

Ruleset Elements icon. Show/Hide Archive Content
A view of the elements of the ruleset archive, including the IRL rules. For more information about the archive content box, see Viewing ruleset archive content. You can show or hide the archive content box.
