Activating and saving modified Rules

Saving a Rule occurs when the Rule Set to which the Rule belongs is explicitly saved and written to disk. To save a new Rule or changes made to an existing Rule, you must perform the following steps:
  1. Press PF3/END from the Rule Processor Detail Control Panel.

    The Rule Set Overview panel is displayed and any changes you have made to the Selection Criteria, Variable Dependencies, Action Specification, or ALERT Action(s) panel are saved to the Rule set.

  2. Type the primary command SAVE on the COMMAND line of the Rule Set Overview panel.

    Typing SAVE writes the displayed Rule Set to disk. If you do not save your changes to disk, your changes will be lost at the next subsystem cold start or if you issue the BBI command to reset Rule Sets.

  3. If you press PF3/END from the Rule Set Overview panel before you save the Rule Set, Figure 1 is displayed.

    Note

    If the BBI-SS PAS terminates while you are using the Rule Processor Detail Control panel, a short message BBI-SS UNAVAILABLE is displayed when you press PF3. If this situation occurs, enter the CANCEL command to exit the Rule Processor Detail Control panel. Any changes you might have made will be lost and you must make them again.

  4. If you press PF3/END on the Rule Set Overview panel and you have moved a Rule between Rule Sets, resulting in two Rule Sets that need to be saved, Figure 2 is displayed:
