Specify Actions to Be Taken When a Rule Is Enabled

Use the Initialization menu to choose the actions that you want to perform during enable processing.

To specify actions to be taken when a rule is enabled

1. From the Message Rule Main Menu, choose option 5 Initialization.

   The Initialization menu displays.

2. Choose the actions you want to perform during enable processing and press Enter.

   While a rule is enabled, it executes when its primary criterion is met, such as when a particular message is issued by the system, or when a particular job ends. A rule that is not enabled never executes.

   EasyRule provides two ways to specify a limited amount of processing during enable processing:

   • You can set the value of a variable.
   • You can elect whether to allow the rule to enable.

If any variables are set during enable processing, they will remain set even if the rule ultimately rejects the enable request.
