Setting Options on the Automatic Rule Validation Tab

Refreshing or editing source code may result in a mismatch between a rule and its segment. Lines of code may have been added or deleted during the refresh or edit, causing a rule to no longer to be synchronized with the segment after reverification. BRM automatically handles invalidated segments based on your instructions in the Business Rule Manager > Automatic Rule Validation tab of the Project options window.

  1. Choose Options > Project Options. The Project Options window opens. Click the Business Rule Manager > Automatic Rule Validation tab.
  2. In the Actions for invalid segments pane, select:
    • Leave segment, set Valid to false if you want BRM to keep the invalid segment with the rule, but set the Segment Validity attribute of the rule to Invalid.
    • Delete segment, set Valid to true if you want BRM to delete the invalid segment from the rule and set the Segment Validity attribute of the rule to Valid.
    • Try to match if you want BRM to resynchronize the segment with the rule.
  3. Place a check mark next to Collapse spaces in strings if you have added spaces to strings in segments and want BRM to ignore the spaces.
