While you are adding to and manipulating the contents of the RuleBase as described above, all the changes are only being stored in draft. These need to be saved to the server so that they will be remembered permanently. This can be done by clicking the Save button near the top of the screen.
When a save is requested, the entered contents of the RuleBase will be validated to check for any errors. If an error is found it will be highlighted on the display, and you will be asked whether to save anyway or not.
If you choose to save even though there are errors present, you will still need to ensure the errors have been corrected before you can deploy the RuleBase and use it in a runtime application.
The Deploy button performs a combination save and deploy operation.
The current status of the RuleBase will be saved, before the deploy process begins. Unlike the save option, you will not be able to continue with a deploy operation if there are errors present in the RuleBase.
The deploy process will deploy all the required files for this agent (node) and the pattern that contains it, to the runtime platform for testing. This will deploy to the default location of the runtime platform, if you wish to deploy to a different location, or to perform a more advanced deploy, then you will need to use XGen to do this. Please see the XGen User Guide for more details.
