    Rule engine bean requires the following Environment Entries to decide how the beans function at runtime:

    • In the EJB Module Details section, choose the Environment and References tab and choose maxcachesize

      Note Note

      maxcachesize: Maximum cache size pertains to the maximum number of networks to be cached. Once the maximum cache size is reached, the least recently used (LRU) older network is removed from the cache to add the newly invoked ruleset network to the cache.

      When you select maxcachesize, the value in the Full Details section is set to 100 by default.

      End of the note.

    • In the EJB Module Details section, choose the Environment and References tab and choose refreshtime.

      Note Note

      refreshtime: The refreshtime environment variable determines the frequency at which the database should be polled to retrieve a modified ruleset. The default value has been set to 5 minutes but this can be configured to the required value.

      End of the note.
