Routing Rule Evaluation Modes
A routing rule evaluation mode is used to define when the rule is evaluated. You establish the evaluation mode when you define the routing rule.
There are two routing rule evaluation modes-Automatic and Manual.
Automatic routing rule evaluation is carried out by the Mailbox Evaluate All Automatic Rules service. It is a scheduled service, and its frequency is controlled through the Application interface. Messages are eligible for automatic evaluation only once as they are added to a mailbox.
All messages are always candidates for manual evaluation of routing rules. A message may be routed multiple times if a routing rule is manually evaluated repeatedly.
There are three ways to manually evaluate a routing rule:
- A routing rule can be manually evaluated within a business process by calling a configuration of the Mailbox Evaluate Routing Rule service.
- A routing rule can be manually evaluated by a scheduled configuration of the Mailbox Evaluate Routing Rule service.
- A routing rule can be manually evaluated interactively through the Application interface.
