Versioning policy options

You use versioning options to control how RuleApp and ruleset versions are numbered and replaced.

RuleApp version numbering is different depending on whether the RuleApp in the selected archive file exists in the server memory:
  • If the RuleApp does not exist, it is deployed to Rule Execution Server with the version number 1.0, irrespective of the selected deployment policy.
  • If the RuleApp already exists, it is deployed according to the versioning policy.

Here are examples that show the results of each versioning option.
