Documentation

Definition

Determines at runtime whether a rule really should be processed.

Use

The quantity of rules in an event is usually a fixed value. Depending on the progress in the business process, it might be the case that some rules no longer need to be processed, or that they must not be processed. With the help of the gate expression you can determine at runtime whether a rule should be processed or not.

You can only define an expression as a gate expression if it delivers a Boolean value (return value with category B).

If you do not enter an expression, the rule is processed normally.
