关于ODM8105的DC中规则查看功能

1、现象:决策表的行预览:无法进行行预览; 问题:对于规则问题排查带来很大不变。尤其是某个单元格的字符串存在空格、决策表列较多等类似情况,无法快速排查。 建议: 增加决策表行预览功能,提高决策表的可阅读性和可维护性。可参考RTS. 2、现象:DC中日期类维度仅有日期,未精确到时间。如规则的查看、修改时间。 问题:如果遇到规则当天多次修改,无法查看具体修改时间。不便于维护和问题排查。 建议: DC中涉及日期类展示,精确到具体时间。可参考RTS。

Sequential Engine - Execute All The Rules Irrespective of Tuple Matching

Today, the CRE and DE sequential engines skip a rule task if any tuple variable(s) are missing during rule execution. This is not an expected behavior. There may be 100 rules in a ruletask and a tuple variable may be used in only one rule so why w...
