Turning off rule processing during bug tracking??

tford

Does anyone know of any tricks to temporarily turn off certain rules from processing. I'm trying to track a bug in my BSV & suspect that it's in a bad rule. One easy way to track it down would be to turn "off" a series of rules, then turn them back on one by one.

Thanks,
Tom

Hi Tom,
It is a bit of a workaround but what I do in the same situation is to create a new minor version and then delete the rules one by one for troubleshooting purposes and then copy and paste them back into the new version from the most previous version once I have eliminated them as the source of the problem. Once I have found the problem, I usually modify my original version and then delete that newest version in case there was something that I forgot to paste back in.
Cheers,
Pete

Thanks Pete.

That's exactly what I started doing after writing my first question. It's more work than I had hoped for, but the only choice for now.

Thanks for your help 😃

You can add a rule condition like "1=0" to ensure the rule actions will not be executed. This would effectively turn the rule off.

Re: 1=0 in rule conditions: Is there a way to search for a literal throughout all rules?

For example, if I put 1=0 in a number of different rule conditions during problem solving & I want to then make sure that they are all removed when I am finished.

Thanks!

Sorry -- I found my answer. Searching rules for a literal is available in menu Version | Search Rules.
