3.2.1.6.3.2 Non-Persisted Rule Instance

A Non-Persisted Rule Instance is a type of Rule (section 3.2.1.6.3), which has all the properties of a classification rule. A Non-Persisted Rule Instance is a copy, in memory, of an instance of a Persisted Rule (section 3.2.1.6.3.1), and it is used by a client to make changes to that Persisted Rule. Changes, including deletion, that are made to a Non-Persisted Rule Instance are either discarded after use or applied to the associated Persisted Rule. There can be zero or more Non-Persisted Rule Instances for each Persisted Rule.

A protocol client can perform the following management operations involving Non-Persisted Rule Instances:

  • Create or change the configuration data for a Non-Persisted Rule Instance. See CreateRule (Opnum 22) (section 3.2.4.2.45.16) and Commit (Opnum 11) (section 3.2.4.2.10.5) for details.

  • Commit changes, including deletion, from a Non-Persisted Rule Instance into the associated Persisted Rule. See Delete (Opnum 10) (section 3.2.4.2.10.4) and Commit (Opnum 11) (section 3.2.4.2.10.5) for details.
