About Rule Set Processing Modes
webMethods Rules Development supports two kinds of processing modes for rule sets:
Inferential. The order of decision entities in a rule set does not imply order of execution.
Sequential. The order of decision entities in a rule set determines the order of execution. The decision entities are executed from top to bottom.
The processing mode is selected when creating a rule set, see
Creating a Rule Set, 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 entities within the rule set: In an inferential rule set, all decision tables are processed inferentially, and in a sequential rule set, all decision tables and decision trees are processed sequentially, regardless of their individual processing mode.
