Rule checkout and check-in

A checkout is a private copy of a Rule- instance that you update and later check in to replace a base rule version. All checked-out rules reside in a ruleset that is only visible to your operator known as your personal ruleset.

Two types of checkouts are supported:

• Standard checkout – All other users are blocked from checking out this rule until you check in your changes.

• Private checkout – A private checkout is like a standard checkout, except that it does not block checkouts for other users. Use this option for quick debugging without interrupting development by other team members.

The check in process replaces a base rule version with a private copy of a Rule- instance that you checked out and updated.

You can check in two types of checkouts:

• Standard checkout – When you check in, your version replaces the base version of the rule.
• Private checkout – When you check in, you can replace the base version of the rule or create a new rule in a branched ruleset.

Before you start, verify that your operator allows rule checkout and the rule resides in a ruleset with checkout enabled.
