Rule Status

The two rule statuses

Every Rule has two status options: Published and Pending. The status can be set on each version of the rule independently.

Initial Status:

• Newly created rules: All rules are created in Published status by default

• Imported rules: The status is determined by the value defined in the imported rule data

• New versions: All newly created versions start in Pending status

Published status

Rule in Published status is ready for production and is available via Solver API.

Examples:

rules in Published status

Pending status

Some rules or versions of rules are not yet ready for production. For example, because the rule is still in development. Such a rule has a Pending status and it cannot be accessed using Solver API. When trying to solve such a rule, Solver API returns the following HTTP request error:

400 Bad Request
{
  "error": {
    "message": "Rule state is not published"
  }
}

For the purpose of testing your rules and their versions that are not yet in production, you can execute rules in Pending status using two methods:

1. Use the Debug in Test Bench feature to solve the rule directly within the platform.

2. Include the X-Debug: true header when calling the rule via API.

Example:

How to change the rule status

The status can be changed in rule settings by clicking the Status toggle. The rule must be saved to apply the status change.
