Rule Builder > Business Rule Checks > Checking the Rules > Checking Rule Consistency

This check allows you to check rule consistency in a given project and to manage policy changes affecting the business rules over time. Before you can check rule consistency, you must have the Consistency Checking plug-in installed. This plug-in is available in the Rule Builder Developer and Modeler modes. Policy changes can impact the business rules in the following ways:

To check rule consistency:

  1. Ensure that the Check Execution Rules option is active.
  2. Click Options on the File menu and then click the Check tab of the Options dialog box.
  3. You can also click the images/options_icona.png button.
  4. Click the check box to activate the Check Rule Consistency option, click the options you want to activate, and then click the OK button.
  5. Click the project, package or business rule in the Project Explorer, and then click Check on the shortcut menu.
  6. You can also click Check on the Project menu in the main toolbar.

Errors and warnings are displayed in the Error\Warnings panel. An example is shown in Figure 14.5.
Note
In the case of self-inconsistent rules, the explanation of the problem is given in IRL.
