Hallo Kurt,



as far as i know, it is not poassible. But let us wait for the Admins to comment this.



For the Moment, have you try to put your Code in one rule?

I think that will be a lot easier than activating other rules.



Best Regards,

Hi Kurt,

I am not sure what you mean by "activate or deactivate"...



Two options:

1. If you mean "call a rule from another rule" this is possible but you need to lookup the function name in the database. Disadvantage is that if you change the line of a certain row you have to lookup again the rule function name.

2. If you mean "activate/deactivate" like you do via UI we do not support this option. You might do a query to the db to update our UDT where we store the enabled/disable flag but we do not raccomend / support this option.



What are you trying to achieve?

Thank you.

Thnx Paolo and Sebastian for your reply. the problem is that is have 5 columns in my rule that triggers a calculation. So when one of these fields change value then i do a calculation and then i store the result in the other 4 columns. I work with a logical to prevent that while the calculation is running other fields are starting also there calculation. So far so good... but after this calculation is done the program/rule starts a new calculation again....

Hi Kurt I think in each of your rule you should add if ( pVal.InnerEvent = = true) return true.

This would prevent to trigger one rule from another rule.

If this does not work try with pVal.ActionSuccess
