Conflict

Final rule conflicts

By definition, final rules cannot be overridden. However, two final rules with the same visible key can arise through importing a ZIP file containing rules, or through other uncommon techniques. Such final rules are conflicts.

As a best practice, eliminate final rule conflicts during development, because the rule not marked final is (incorrectly) never executed.

Use the Final Conflicts report Rule-.ListThisRuleFinalCollisions.ALL to find final rules that both have the same name and same other visible key parts. Eliminate any conflicts by deleting one of each conflicting pair until this report is empty. To access this report, select > Application > Inventory > Inventory Reports. Select Rule as the Category and enter "final" as the Search Text.

Decision rule conflicts

A conflict in a decision rule (decision tree, decision table, or map value) arises when two elements of the rule form define identical input tests but possibly distinct results. C-2286

For example, if two rows of a decision table or map value have the same values, only the top row executes at runtime.

Click the  Show Conflicts   button on the form to test for conflicts and mark them with a warning ().

Conflicts are also checked when you save a decision rule form, and when you run the Guardrails tool check.

Conflicts do not prevent the rule from validating or executing, but may indicate that the rule does not implement the intended decision.
