Calculation Manager: Enable Parallel Execution - Bug and Trick

When creating new Ruleset Designer there is an option to execute rules in parallel as given in the following screenshot.

However, as soon as you add / assign Rules under this ruleset, it disappears.

Note that this option is only available when the ruleset is selected and not the individual rule. So, you need to select / click on the ruleset to get this feature.

I believe this to be as a bug however there are at least two ways to get this option back.

• Save and close the ruleset and reopen.
• Another option is go to another tab in workspace and come back to this ruleset and you will see the option visible / enabled.

Composite rule v/s ruleset

Recently, I was working extensively on developing business rules in calculation manager. Wherever necessary I have an habit of using variables. In one instance, I wanted to run 2 rules on a save of a web-form. So what I did was created a new rule and added the required 2 rules. I was not expecting any issues as both these rule were running as expected. But when I compiled, it threw an error of duplicate declaration of variable....I used / defined same variables in both the forms.

I was initially surprised but later realized that it considers it as one rule and so the problem.

I then created a rule-set, added the required rules and worked.

Web-form: Substitution variable error

One of my colleagues was trying to use a substitution variable in a web-form and he got the following error message:

“A substitution variable required for this calculation is undefined. Variable: Years_Act

He defined new substitution variable in planning and assigned the value as “FY10:FY13”.

There is nothing wrong here as this can easily be used in calculation script or business rules but when using this in Web-form, we can only have single valid value not range as shown above.

So, few points to note when using substitution variable in web-form are as follows:

1. Make sure you define substitution variable.
2. Make sure value is not blank
3. Make sure you have assigned a valid member name (value) (not range)
