Running and debugging decision operations

To run a decision operation in standard or debugging mode, you must create a launch configuration by selecting the project in which the operation is stored.

About this task

To run or debug a decision operation, the rule engine needs values for all the IN and IN_OUT parameters for your ruleset.

Procedure

To start creating a run or debug configuration:

  • On the Run menu, click Run Configurations.
  • On the Run menu, click Debug Configurations.

To complete the new launch configuration:

  • Double-click the Decision Operation header to further configure the new run or debug configuration, and set up the parameters.

To run the decision operation in standard or debugging mode:

  • According to your initial choice, click Run to start the execution, or click Debug to start the execution in debug mode.

Results

The ruleset is run in either standard or debugging mode, and you now have a launch configuration that is ready to be reused.

If a particular decision operation already contains values for all IN and IN_OUT parameters, you can also run or debug it with default settings as follows:
  1. Select the decision operation or the rule project in which it is stored.
  2. Choose Run As > 2 Decision Operation or Debug As > 2 Decision Operation from the Run menu.

If you select a rule project that has more than one decision operation, you are prompted to select one in the wizard.
