Insert, delete, and replace rules summary

The following figure summarizes insert, delete, and replace rules by stating a desired result and then indicating the rule that can be used to obtain that result.

Figure 1. Insert, delete, and replace rules summary
Physical path between A (PP) and B (LC). Logical path between B (LP) and A (VLC).

The following table lists the insert, delete, and replace rules and how to specify them.

logical insert rule RULES= (L,_,_)
virtual insert rule RULES= (V,_,_)
physical delete rule RULES= (_,P,_)
logical delete rule RULES= (_,L,_)
bidirectional virtual delete rule RULES= (_,B,_)
virtual delete rule RULES= (_,V,_)
physical replace rule RULES= (_,_,P)
