Change a rule while debugging

Change a rule while debugging

While the debugger session is active, you can navigate through Oracle Policy Modeling and edit rules without stopping the debugger session.

If you want to test your new rulebase against existing data you have entered in the debugger, then you can use the "Retain existing session data" option to do this:

  1. With the debugger still running, make the necessary changes to the rules in Word or Excel documents. (See also Find the cause of a logic error.)
  2. Select Build | Build and Restart Debugger.
  3. In the Debug Options dialog box, select the Retain existing session data checkbox.
  4. Click OK.
  5. Check that the rules now operate as expected and produce the right decisions based on the test data.

NOTE: If you have deleted or renamed any attributes, entities or relationships, the data associated with those items will be discarded when the debugger is restarted.
