Rule engine settings

These settings are optional on GV STRATUS systems.

To locate these settings, click Core | Engines | Rules | Modify

Setting or button	Description
Startup Mode	Re-enable rules after restart and apply only to assets changed after the activation of the rule: When the GV STRATUS system starts up, rules are enabled but the Rules Engine does not take action on existing assets. Rather, it waits until an asset changes and then evaluates the asset to take action. Re-enable rules after restart and apply to all applicable assets: When the GV STRATUS system starts up, rules are enabled and the Rules Engine immediately evaluates existing assets and takes action accordingly. Note: Take care when using this setting. Assets for which the rule action successfully completed before the restart can have the rule action applied again after the restart, resulting in a large amount of unnecessary rule activity. Do not re-enable rules after restart: When the GV STRATUS system starts up, rules are disabled. You must manually re-enable rules.
Save	Restarts the Rules engine and applies changes.
Cancel	Reverts to previously saved setting.

Consider the Rules Engine setting Startup Mode and the Confirm Activation option when you enable a rule, as the behavior is similar. With the Rules Engine setting you specify the behavior of all currently enabled rules when the Rules Engine starts up. With the Confirm Activation option, you specify the behavior of an individual rule when you manually enable the rule.
