Automatic exception handling

Rule agents automatically respond to the occurrence of exceptions in rule conditions in a way that minimizes the impact on normal rule execution.

The following topics describe how exceptions are handled by rule agents and how to add the resulting messages to the log files. Examples are provided to show the effect on rule actions when one or more conditions are unknown or cannot be resolved.

Remember:
  • The then part of a rule is run only if the when, definitions, and if parts are true.
  • The else part of a rule is run only if the if part is false.
  • No action parts of a rule are run if the if part is unknown.
