About Decision Table Processing Modes
webMethods Rules Development supports three kinds of processing modes for decision tables:
Inferential. The order of rules in a decision table does not imply order of execution.
Sequential All. The order of rules in a decision table determines the order of execution. The rules are evaluated and executed from top to bottom.
Sequential First. The order of rules in a decision table determines the order of execution. The rules are evaluated from top to bottom. If a rule fires, the evaluation and execution is stopped.
The processing mode is selected when creating a decision table, see
Creating a Decision Table, and it can be modified afterwards, see
Modifying the Processing Mode.
Important: The processing mode of a rule set overwrites the processing mode of the decision tables within the rule set: In an inferential rule set, all decision tables are processed inferentially, and in a sequential rule set, all decision tables are processed sequentially, regardless of their individual processing mode.
