"Or" Operator With Child Rule

[jpiasecki]

Hi,

I'm a little confused about how the "Or" operator functions with a child rule. I would have thought that in the following situation, the rule would be considered successful, as long as either the parent or the child rule evaluated successfully:

But it seems like the failure of the child rule results in the entire rule failing, even if I specify an operator of "Or" or "OrElse". Am I misunderstanding something?

Thanks very much for your time.

Playing with this a little further, it would appear that if there are child rules, the expression of the parent rule is not evaluated, and that the parent rule is just a "container" for the child rules. My apologies.

Hi, I actually have the same question. How do you implement rules with precondition or hierarchy? For example, if I got rule says:

Parameter: boatvalue. Expected output: true/false

If boatcolor == "red" then
--if boatage > 3 then boatvalue > $1000
--else if boatage <=3 and place == "TownA" then boatvalue > $1500
--else if boatage < 1 then boatvalue > $1800
else if boatcolor == "white" then
--if place == "TownA" then boatvalue > $1500
--else boatvalue > $1700
else
--if boatage > 5 then boatvalue > $1300
--else boatvalue > $1550

It is a use case in if-else. How do I do this in rulesengine without creating 7 massive rule strings, since parent rule expressions are not in use?
