Watch Functions in the Rule Debugger
In debug mode in the EH&S Expert you will find the options Watch and Watch Rule Facts in the Debug menu. You can use these options to track the current values of the facts and the progress of the set of rules, complementing the fact mapping tables.
Watch Rule Facts
To display the Watch Rule Facts window, choose Debug ® Watch Rule Facts.
The window shows you the facts for the rule that is currently selected in the rule window. If you have not influenced the selection manually, the rule at which rule processing was stopped is selected. In this window you CANNOT change the values of the facts.
You can watch the facts of other rules in the set of rules by placing the cursor on the respective rule or by choosing the rule name in the Watch Rule Facts window in the Context line and confirming your selection. When the debugging process continues, the window then shows the facts of the current rule again.
Watch
To display the Watch window, choose Debug ® Watch.
In this freely configurable window you can watch the facts of your choice. You can edit the values of the displayed facts in this window.
To be able to edit the values of the facts, double-click the respective line to activate the edit function.
To add a fact to the watch window, enter the name of the fact (or the name of a record or composition) in the Expression line in the Watch window or position the cursor on the fact in the mapping table and choose right mouse button ® Add to watch.
