decision rule conflicts

A conflict in a decision rule (decision tree, decision table, or map value) arises when two elements of the rule form define identical input tests but possibly distinct results.

For example, if two rows of a decision table or map value have the same values, only the top row executes at runtime.

Click the  Show Conflicts   button on the form to test for conflicts and mark them with a warning (Error).

Map Value form

Conflicts are also checked when you save a decision rule form, and when you run the Guardrails tool check.

Conflicts do not prevent the rule from validating or executing, but may indicate that the rule does not implement the intended decision.
