Question 1

How do you flag a rule as a new base version in order to get rid of any circumstancing on that rule?

Answer 1

Copy the rule to a higher RS version and mark it as a base rule by checking the box.

This tells the rule resolution algorithm to ignore all previous occurrences of the rule in the same major but different minor/patch version.

Question 2

How would you get rid of circumstancing on a rule by withdrawing it?

Answer 2

When a circumstanced rule is withdrawn all previous occurrences of this rule in the same major but lower minor/patch versions having the same circumstance type are withdrawn

• Rule resolution then selects the base version of the rule despite meeting the circumstanced condition.*
• ​In order to override a circumstanced rule you need to create a withdrawn rule in a higher ruleset with the same circumstancing and withdraw that rule.*

Question 3

What rule is selected in rule resolution when a borrower has HighRisk accoring to our ruleset and the contained rules? (see picture)

Answer 3

The flagged rule is the correct rule resolution for this scenario. The flagged base rule is a higher priority then the rule with the values of HighRisk. In this case the lower ruleset version (01-01-01) with the two circumstanced rules is obsolete.

Question 4

Which rule would be selected by the rule resolution algorithm in this scenario? (Borrower with a low risk of default)

Answer 4

In this scenario the correct rule resolution for a borrower with a low risk of default in this example is the rule in the MyCoLoan ruleset version 01-01-01.

The higher version of MortLoan in the MyCoLoan ruleset is Withdrawn. A withdrawn rule hides a prior circumstanced version and reverts to the base rule.

Question 7

1. Division

Question 8

1. Decision Table
2. Data Page
3. Declare Expression
4. Report Definition

Answer 8

4. Report Definition

Question 9

A user has the following ruleset in their ruleset list:

TGBLoan:01-01

TGBPL:01-01

If the pyWorkPage class is TGB-PL-Work-Loan and the clipboard value for the Risk property is High Risk which of the follwoing rules is chosen by rule resolution?

1. 2
2. 3
3. 5
4. 7

Answer 9

1. 2

The original time I chose 7, why did I think this – avoid in the future
