VISUAL BASIC

Detailed explanation-1: -Rule resolution applies to most rules that are instances of classes derived from the abstract Rule-base class. The following are examples of instances of rules derived from the abstract Rule-base class: Case types (Rule-Obj-CaseType ) Properties (Rule-Obj-Property )

Detailed explanation-2: -When a rule is referenced in a Pega application, rule resolution attempts to locate instances of the rule in the rules cache. If instances of the referenced rule are found, rule resolution finds the best instance of the rule and checks for duplicates. Then Pega confirms the rule is available for use.

Detailed explanation-3: -You can set the availability of a rule to one of five values: Available, Not Available, Blocked, Final, or Withdrawn. Note: For more information on ensuring the correct rule is used at run-time, see the Pega Community article Setting rule status and availability.

Detailed explanation-4: -An availability of Available indicates the rule may be used during the rule resolution process. Tip: When you create a rule, the default availability of the rule is Available. You can view, copy, edit, and execute rules in Dev Studio when the availability is set to Available.

Detailed explanation-5: -A withdrawn rule is a rule that has the availability property pyRuleAvailable set to Withdrawn . A withdrawn rule is never selected by rule resolution. In addition, other rules that match this rule on the following fields are also hidden from rule resolution: Rule type.

Detailed explanation-6: -Skimming is the act of taking the highest version of a rule and saving it into a new, higher ruleset version. As a result, it applies mainly to rule resolved rules, and there are exceptions to what gets skimmed based on the availability of the rule as well as the type of skim being performed.
