Action Rule

The CML Action Rule is defined using the rule() keyword. Its primary purpose is to execute a designated action, specified as a string literal, when a condition is met.

This action is typically handled by external systems, such as the Product Configurator API or custom code, to manage business processes, workflows, or complex constraints that fall outside the constraint engine's primary scope.

Action rules have this syntax.

1rule(condition, action, arg, ..., arg)
2rule(<condition>, <action>, "attribute", <attribute>);
3rule(<condition>, <action>, "attribute", <attribute>, "value", [<attribute values>]);
4rule(<condition>, <action>, "relation", <relation>, "type", <type>);

condition is any logic expression such as a constraint in CML.

action is a string literal that specifies an action that can be interpreted by the Product Configurator API. The Product Configurator API supports these actions.

  • Hide: hide attribute, attribute value, product option
  • Disable: disable attribute, attribute value, product option
  • args are a list of arguments needed to execute the action. An argument is a pair including a string literal and an identifier, a literal, or a domain, enclosed in brackets [ ] to specify multiple values. The string literal specifies what kind of argument follows. The identifier attribute can be defined in the type. The engine retrieves the argument value and passes it to the caller to execute the action.
