Control-O Runtime Scheduling parameters determine when a rule in the active Rule list is activated. When a rule is activated, that is, when its Runtime Scheduling parameters are satisfied, Control-O scans the environment for the occurrence of the messages or events specified in the ON statements of the rule. When the message and event criteria are satisfied, the rule is triggered, and the DO statements in the rule are performed. Only an activated rule can be a candidate for triggering.
Note: If the Runtime Scheduling parameters for an activated rule are no longer satisfied, the rule is deactivated, and cannot be triggered.
Runtime Scheduling parameters are also used to specify rule operation mode, rule priority, and optionally, a group of rules to which the rule belongs. The Runtime Scheduling parameters are shown in Table 115.
