I deactivate a rule

For a rule that you no longer want to use with a study, you can delete, deactivate, or disable the rule. The behavior of the rule in the Oracle InForm application depends on the action that you choose.

Tip:

When deploying to Oracle InForm release 6.1.1 or later, you must create a deployment instance in order to see the behavior described in this topic. The deployment instance allows Oracle Central Designer to communicate with Oracle InForm to determine the rule states and update them accordingly.

When you deactivate a rule, Oracle Central Designer retains the rule in the database, but prevents the rule from running in the Oracle InForm application. Deactivating a rule also allows you suspend execution of the rule on a temporary basis.

Deactivated rules are:

• Validated in the Oracle Central Designer application.
• Deployed to the Oracle InForm application in the Inactive state.
• Run only manually in the Oracle InForm application.

Note:

To deactivate a rule, set the Evaluate on Event precondition to On demand (batch mode).
