Difference between use of decision table and if/then in business rules

Hello ,
Could some one please explain me difference between use of decision table and if/then in business rules in short.
- Shirish

Hi,
They are equivalent, pretty much what you can do with a decision table you can also do with if/then...
However, decision tables provide automated features that can reduce the number of required rules, as compared to the if/then rules (this is called rule coalescing).
Have a look on this document... Search for 5.1.1 What is a Decision Table?

  • What is difference between using interface as source and table as source?

    I am working on a batch flow which need several steps to populate data from source to target. For example, I need 5 interfaces to finish final data loading. I can either use interface or use temporary table as source and target for the interface 2, 3, and 4. It looks like both case will use tables no matter use interface or use temporary table. So my question is if there is any difference between these two (using interface as source or use temporary table as source)?
    Thanks

    if you use a Table as source for the intermediate process, it will create a physical temporary table i your work rep(depends on you choice) and populate the data into the table. if you use a interface as a source, just it will create a sub query instead of temporary table.
    Thanks

  • What's the difference between using a connection pool and a datasource

    Howdy. I figure this is a newbie question, but I can't seem to find an
    answer.
    In the docs at bea, the datasource docs say
    "DataSource objects provide a way for JDBC clients to obtain a DBMS
    connection. A DataSource is an interface between the client program and the
    connection pool. Each data source requires a separate DataSource object,
    which may be implemented as a DataSource class that supports either
    connection pooling or distributed transactions."
    In there it says the datasource uses the connection pool, but other than
    that, what is the difference between a connection pool and a datasource?

    Thanks for the info. I think it makes some sense. But it's a bit greek.
    I'm sure it'll make more sense the more I work with it. Thanks.

    Peter,
    Here is a more formal definition of a DataSource from the Sun site
    "A factory for connections to the physical data source that thisDataSource object
    represents. An alternative to the DriverManager facility, a DataSourceobject
    is the preferred means of getting a connection. An object that implementsthe
    DataSource interface will typically be registered with a naming servicebased
    on the JavaTM Naming and Directory (JNDI) API.
    The DataSource interface is implemented by a driver vendor. There arethree types
    of implementations:
    Basic implementation -- produces a standard Connection object
    Connection pooling implementation -- produces a Connection object thatwill automatically
    participate in connection pooling. This implementation works with amiddle-tier
    connection pooling manager.
    Distributed transaction implementation -- produces a Connection objectthat may
    be used for distributed transactions and almost always participates inconnection
    pooling. This implementation works with a middle-tier transaction managerand
    almost always with a connection pooling manager.
    Does that help clarify the distinction?

  • What is the difference between using the command "dsmgmt" and the "Managed By" tab when adding users to the local administrators Account on a Read-Only Domain Controller?

    When I use the
    "dsmgmt" command to add a user to the local administrators account of a RODC I can actually see the user when I use the "Show Role Administrators" parameter. However, I can't see the members of the
    group added to the "Managed By" tab of the RODC object in AD. Even though, the users added using
    "dsmgmt" and by the "Managed By" tab can all log in locally and have admin rights to the RODC. Are there any differences between these two ways of adding users to the local administrators account? 

    Hi,
    For groups, managedBy is an administrative convenience to designate “group admins”. Whatever principal listed in
    managedBy gets permission to update a group’s membership (the actual security is updated on the group’s AD object to allow this).
    In Win2008 and later managedBy also became the way you delegated local administration on an RODC, allowing branch admins to install patches, manage shares, etc. (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc755310(WS.10).aspx). 
    On the RODC, this is updating the RepairAdmin registry value within RODCRoles.
    So the difference between them should be only the way they do the same thing.

  • No difference between using a local variable and a notifier in timed parallel loops?

    The example code "Pass Data With Notifiers.vi" that came with LV 7.1 illustrates using notifiers with parallel loops.  Just looking at two of the loops, the one that generates the sine wave and the one for "User 1", you can change the timing of the two loops and you can change the condition of the "Ignore Previous" status on the "Wait on Notification".  I have a special case of this to consider, where I'm wondering if there's any reason not to use a local variable instead of the notifier:
    Set the delay on the generator portion (which contains the Send Notification) to something very short, say 5 ms.  Set the delay on the User 1 (which contains the Wait on Notification) to something relatively longer, say 200 ms.  Set the Wait on Notification to False.  Now you have a situation where the User 1 loop action is contingent only upon the loop delay time, since each time the loop timer runs the loop there will always be a value in the notifier.  In this case it seems to behave just like the case where you update a local variable in the fast loop and read it in the slow one.
    Is my understanding correct?  Would there be a performance difference between the two methods?  What do you prefer in this situation and why?
    Thanks,
    Hosehead

    Hi H.,
    I think your idea is to write to a Global Variable in the data-producer VI, and read it in the data-consumer VI(?)
    One reason this might be less efficient than using Notifiers is if you want to graph every new value in the "consumer" - or make sure the value read in the consumer has changed at least once since the last loop.
    > since each time the [consumer] loop timer runs the loop there will always be a value in the notifier...
    > Would there be a performance difference between the two methods? 
    If you don't use the Notification "event" to synchronize the producer and consumer, then to be sure the consumer gets a new vaue, you've made the producer loop faster - every 5 ms - a waste of cpu-cycles.  More often the situation is reversed, that is, there's a consumer that needs to see every single new value, and (without events) the consumer must loop faster than the producer (to catch every new value) - this is called polling and it wastes cpu-cycles.
    Just about anytime one's tempted to make a loop execute "fast" to check on some value (or to make sure there's a fresh value,) there's an opportunity to improve performance through synchronization with events (including notifiers, queues, occurrances, semaphores, and rendezvous')

  • Differences between using a Object Reference and the Object itself

    Example:
    public class Myclass
    //difference between
    Myclass myobj;
    //and
    Myclass myobj = new Myclass();
    can anyone help me?

    Both lines you showed declare an object reference.
    The first one is not explictely assigned a value and
    is thus implicetly assigned the null reference (= a
    reference pointing to no object). The latter is
    initialized with an reference to the newly created
    Object (new Myclass()).
    They're both given a value of null first.
    The second one is then given a value that points to that object that was created.
    If they were inside a method, then the first one's value would be undefined.

  • What is difference between using VIrtual USB port and standard TCP/IP port

    Have a dv6t 2000 laptop and connecting to a photosmart 6150
    Trying to figure out why I have two printer devices installed for the same printer, actually three, one says 6100 series (have to connect to laptop docking station), one says 6100 series 1 (this one i can print to wirelessly) and the last one says 6100 series fax.
    Both the 6100 series and 6100 series 1 only allow me to scan when it is docked but i can print wirelessly to series 1.
    is there a way to scan wirelessly as well.  Allprinters are shared home network.

    Let's handle the easy one first.  The 6100 series fax icon was installed by the HP software as a printer so that you can select that printer from a program.  When you select the 6100 series fax to print to, it sends out that document as a fax skipping the hard copy step of faxing.
    When you look at the icons in the printers folder keep in mind that those are for printing not scanning.  Those icons do not represent a scanner being installed.  It would appear that you have setup the HP software once when docked.  I am assuming that the printer is attached USB to the laptop dock.
    To clear this up, delete the series 1.  That is your network print icon.  Once it is deleted, undock the laptop and then rerun the HP software.  It should come up to a menu where you can select Add a Device.  Go through the network install and it should put a series 1 icon back into the printers folder but also enable scanning over wireless.
    I was an HP employee.

    Thanks.Your question is akin to asking, "What's the difference between using a car to get somewhere versus stepping on the gas pedal to do the same job?"
    The use of SwingUtilities to update the "view" only pertains to updating components in a thread-safe manner, it has nothing to do with MVC. MVC would govern when the view gets updated (i.e. after the model changes), while SwingUtilties would be used to specify how the view gets updated.
