In this task, you set breakpoints on the tasks in the ruleflow to watch the execution. The breakpoints will demonstrate how the ruleflow functions when a customer is eligible to rent and when a customer is rejected.
To set the breakpoints:
-
In the Rule Explorer, open the
carreservation ruleflow in the flow package.
-
In the Diagram page, set a breakpoint on the
eligibility task by right-clicking it and selecting Toggle Breakpoint.
-
Set another breakpoint on the
pricing task.
-
Start the debugging session (click
on the toolbar or select Run > Debug).
-
Resume execution (click
Resume or press F8) until execution stops in the eligibility task.
-
In the Variables view, click
rental=carrental.RentalAgreement to see the current value:
Approved Rental Agreement for Julian Bayles (May 20, 1970) of a MidSize car from Dec 26, 2005 at Concord (New Hampshire) to Jan 3, 2006 (8 days) at Concord (New Hampshire).
-
Resume execution.
The output in the Console view indicates that the
eligibility task finished executing:
########### RESERVATIONS ################
Eligibility task : Initial action for Rental Agreement for Julian Bayles (May 20, 1970)
Eligibility task : Final action for Rental Agreement for Julian Bayles (May 20, 1970)
-
Resume execution.
The Console shows the output for the
pricing task, which indicates that because Julian was accepted in the
eligibility task, the ruleflow followed the path to the
pricing task:
Pricing task : Initial action for Rental Agreement for Julian Bayles (May 20, 1970)
set price of standard offer for the Rental Agreement for Julian Bayles (May 20, 1970)
Add surcharge of 2 for PEI
Add surcharge of 3 for PAI

-
Resume execution.
The output in the Console indicates that the
eligibility is about to execute again and the Variables view shows that Mary Gerrard is the new value of
rental.customer.
-
Resume execution, and watch the Console to see the output after the
eligibility task executes and the output after the pricing task executes.
Again, the output in the Console shows that the
pricing task executed, indicating the path followed through the ruleflow.
-
Resume execution, and when execution stops, check the Variables view.
Alice Boorman's rental is next to be evaluated by the
eligibility task.
-
Resume execution.
The output in the Console shows that Alice is rejected:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Eligibility task : Initial action for Rental Agreement for Alice Boorman (Sep 12, 1990)
In Rhodes Island state, customer must be 25 or more to rent a car
Rental Agreement for Alice Boorman (Sep 12, 1990)is rejected. Customer must be 18 or more to rent a car
Eligibility task : Final action for Rental Agreement for Alice Boorman (Sep 12, 1990)
-------------------------------------------------------------
-
Resume execution, and when it stops, check the Variables view.
Note that Evelyn Gosling is now about to be evaluated by the eligibility task. This means the path in the ruleflow went from the
eligibility task directly to the end of the ruleflow for Alice.
-
Resume execution until the application terminates or click
Terminate.
