Converting Rulesets to Datasets
There are two very useful tasks in Rulex which allow you to convert rulesets to datasets and vice versa.
The Convert Ruleset to Dataset task converts rulesets to datasets so you can then perform in-depth analysis and specific operations, which are not available for rules, via pre-processing tasks such as the Data Manager.
For example, you may want to filter rules through a formula to identify only those rules which have a specific range of covering.
If required, the resulting dataset can then be reconverted to a ruleset via the Convert Dataset to Ruleset task.
Prerequisites
the required datasets have been imported into the process
a task has generated a ruleset in the process.
Additional tabs
The following additional tabs are provided:
Documentation tab where you can document your task,
Parametric options tab where you can configure process variables instead of fixed values. Parametric equivalents are expressed in italics in this page (PO).
Procedure
Drag and drop the Convert Ruleset to Dataset task onto the stage.
Connect a task, which contains the ruleset you want to convert, to the new task.
Double click the conversion task.
Configure the options described in the Convert Ruleset to Dataset options table below.
Save and compute the task.
