Rules Processing

Specify the type of rules processing to use for the configured item.

The UDC 32/RP supports configurator rules processing as the edit rule for data dictionary item DYN.

Non-Dynamic

When you select this option, the system processes rules for segments that are changed and for segments referenced by the changed segment. New values are displayed when you click the Validate Configuration button. Rules are processed iteratively and bi-directionally. Any configured components that are dependent on the segment value are included or excluded. All hot spot values are recalculated. All pricing and costing is recalculated. All segment answers are selectable.

Dynamic

When you select this option, the entire configuration reflects the impact of the new value any time that a segment answer is changed. Rules are processed iteratively and bi-directionally. Any configured components that are dependent on the segment value are included or excluded. All hot spot values are recalculated. All pricing and costing is recalculated. Only valid segment answers are selectable.

Single Pass

When you select this option, the system processes all rules just once and in a top-down manner. New values are displayed when you click the Validate Configuration button. If more than one rule evaluates to TRUE for the same segment, the last rule that evaluates to TRUE determines segment values and which components to include or exclude. All hot spot values are recalculated. All pricing and costing is recalculated. All segment answers are selectable.

Note: This option is intended to serve as a temporary migration path when upgrading from a previous release until the time at which rule relationships can be properly built to take advantage of dynamic configuration.
