E1: 32: P3210 Configurator Rules Engine for 9.0 (Document 1382511.1)
An important consideration for Configurator clients upgrading to
EnterpriseOne 9.0 is the redesign of the configurator rules engine. In
all releases prior to Enterprise 9.0, the configurator rules engine was
designed in a 'top-down' - single-pass manner. If there are multiple
valid values that can be returned to a specific Calculated Segment, the
system populates the segment based on the last valid Assembly Inclusion
Rule (AIR). In essence, the last valid rule 'wins.'
In 9.0, the
rules engine has been re-engineered to process rules iteratively
allowing the system to process rules bi-directionally up and down, and
also laterally. This redesign is significant in that some rules will
not function as they did in previous releases and may need to be
rewritten to avoid circular references and to produce the desired
results.
