Deploying a Rule

Where: Navigator > Resources > Rules

Use one of the following methods:

• Right-click a rule or a rule group (folder) and select Deploy Realtime Rule(s).

  The deployed rules you deploy are linked into the Real-time Rules folder (Shared/All Rules/Real-time Rules). This means that if you change something in the working copy of a rule in your user folder, those changes also take effect in the deployed rule and vice versa.

• Drag and drop the rules from your user folder to the Real-time Rules folder. Select Copy, Link, or Move.

  If you select Move, the resource or resource group moves to the new location. If you select Copy, you create a separate copy of the resource or resource group that will not be affected when the original resource or resource group is edited. If you select Link, you create a copy that is linked to the original resource or resource group. Therefore, if you edit a linked item, whether the original or the copy, all links are also edited. When deleting linked items, you can either delete the selected item or all linked items.

If a rule is already enabled (), it is deployed as enabled. If a rule has been disabled () during testing phase, it is deployed into real-time rules but remains disabled until you enable it. Rules must be both enabled and deployed in real-time rules to take effect in the live system.

If you enable or disable a deployed, linked rule in the original location it is also enabled or disabled in real-time rules and vice versa. For more information, see Enabling and Disabling Rules.
