Rule group action

The links between rule groups are defined by an additional "last" action:

rule group action 01

  • The last action in the decision table

  • The title of the action must contain the same rule group keyword (here "step") as in the rule group condition

  • A value table must be defined for the action

  • The symbols in this value table must be a subset of the values in the rule group condition

  • If you simply want to continue with the next rule group, you can also use a value with the symbol "+" and the designation "Continue with next rule group"

  • In most cases, an "exit value" is defined at the end of the value table to trigger the end of processing of this decision table

  • For each rule, it is clearly defined with which rule group the processing is to continue or whether the processing of the decision table is to be terminated

  • When checking the decision table, the system checks both the accessibility of each rule group and the validity of the entries in the rule cells of the rule group action
