| Type | Case ID | Summary | Description |
| CHANGE | 10057 | Xml State: GetXml string now includes XML declaration header | • An XML declaration header is now included for all returned XML documents (string and file). |
| CHANGE | 10093 | When importing / re-importing an external schema, additional aliasing may be required to avoid name collisions with InRule function names | • The import / reload will automatically suggest aliased names where appropriate. |
| CHANGE | 10102 | RuleExecutionSettings.LogRuleChanges is no longer a valid option. | • It is no longer necessary to set this option to see rule changes in irVerify or via irSDK – please plan to remove all references to this. |
| CHANGE | 10151 | Validations are deprecated in favor of constraints | • Validations in existing ruleapps will be removed by the upgrader process. From irAuthor, the user will see a special warning message indicating these must be manually re-authored using constraints or set-field-invalid actions. From runtime, an error will be thrown (the app must be opened in irAuthor and re-saved to consume from runtime). |
| CHANGE | 10155 | irAuthor: Placement of tab controls reverted to 2.9 placements within element propery pages. | • The Notes/Categories and Attributes tabs are again placed at the bottom of property pages, as opposed to the top. • Vocabulary tab removed where not applicable. • Classifications moved to Vocabulary tab control. • "Create Classifications" has been renamed to "Create Vocabulary" in Entity and Field property pages. • Vocabulary icon changed. |
| CHANGE | 10214 | Each entity ruleset within a Rule Application must have a unique name | • In order to be consistent with the InRule Catalog naming rules, each entity ruleset within a Rule Application must now have a unique name. Validation errors are raised on an attempted compile for any duplicate entity ruleset names – these must be resolved manually. |
| CHANGE | 10220 | irAuthor: Permissions may no longer be applied at the Entity or Field level | • Permissions affecting an Entity or Field (such as ModifySchema) may now be applied only at the following levels: |
| CHANGE | 10238 | Invalid XML namespace is no longer permitted when XSD validation enabled, as in 2.9. | • InRule 2.9 allowed an XML load when the top element had a namespace differing from the schema namespace. |
| CHANGE | 10493 | RuleApplicationDef.SaveToFile() performs validation by default, new overload provided to disable this | • .SaveToFile(filename) now performs validation, will throw on validation failure • Use .SaveToFile(filename, false) if you wish to save without validating, as with the prior SaveToFile(filename) overload. |
| CHANGE | 10504 | Help File: References to "Attributes" have been changed to "Engine Values." | • All references to “Attributes” throughout the help file have been changed to “Engine Values.” |
| CHANGE | 10575 | A check out of the Rule Application container will not prevent another user from checking out an element of the same Rule Application. | • If user A checks out the Rule Application container, this will not prevent user B from checking out any other element of the same Rule Application. |
| CHANGE | 10580 | Virtual directory portion of Windows Service hosted Catalog service URI renamed to InRuleCatalogService. | • The Catalog service URI, when installed as a Windows Service, had “InRuleRepositoryService” as its virtual directory. This was renamed to “InRuleCatalogService” for consistency. • If InRule v3.0.0 was installed, including Catalog service, the current URI will be maintained when upgrading to v3.0.1. |
| CHANGE | 10593 | Ability to copy and paste rule templates | • A right-click context menu has been added to templates that are listed in the Templates tab that is visible when a Vocabulary item is selected from the tree view of irAuthor. To cut or copy a template, simply right-click the template, choose Cut or Copy from the context menu, then right-click anywhere within the templates list and choose Paste from the context menu. |
| CHANGE | 10613 | A call to GetEntityID(Field) will return the identifier of the entity field. A call to GetEntityID(), without arguments, will return the identifier of the entity in context. | • Previously, a call to GetEntityID(Field) would return the identifier of the entity which contains the field. • GetEntityID(), without parameters, replaces GetEntityID(entityName) for obtaining the identifier of an entity. An upgrader automatically makes this conversion from an earlier ruleapp schema revision. |
| CHANGE | 10647 | Malformed values in InRule configuration files will cause an exception. | • If invalid or malformed values are added to an InRule configuration file, an exception will be thrown. Previously, when invalid or malformed values are encountered, a default value was used. |
| CHANGE | 10698 | Removed “Modify Schema” permission from Rule Application level set of permissions | • “Modify Schema” permission is available only at the catalog level. “Modify” permission is still available on an individual schema. |
| CHANGE | 10936 | In irAuthor, the labels for the action “Execute RuleSet” contain “Action” | • Within the editor pane of the action “Execute RuleSet” labels were changed from “RuleSet / Action” to “RuleSet.” Also, the Actions list within the context menu item “Insert” contained an item which was changed from “Execute RuleSet / Action” to “Execute RuleSet.” |
| CHANGE | 11118 | Entity names "Parent" and "Child" no longer allowed | • The names "Parent" and "Child" are now reserved words and may no longer be used as entity names. |
| CHANGE | 11209 | The Rule Engine Service is now referred to as “irSOA” in the installer. | • The rule engine service is now called “irSOA.” everywhere it appears in the installer. |
| CHANGE | 11284 | Ambiguous method overloads (by # of args) may no longer be referenced in rule expressions | • In Rule expressions, only method signatures which are unambiguous by # of args may be referenced. • Use Execute Method Action to reference method signatures differentiated only by arg type |
| CHANGE | 1735 | Notes/Categories, Attributes, et al. tab selections are persisted. | • When a tab selection is made among Notes, Attributes, etc. and a user navigates to another element of the same type, the tab selection is not reset to the first tab. • For example, if a user would like to browse the Attributes of all Fields of a given Entity, the user can select the first Field, select the Attributes tab, then continue to select subsequent Fields of the Entity. All the while the Attributes tab will be selected. |
| CHANGE | 6825 | Any Rule Application having one or more external namespaced XSD Schemas must have the XSD Schema(s) manually re-imported / re-applied in irAuthor. | • Any existing Rule Applications which have one or more external XSD namespaced (non-empty namespace(s)) schemas must have the XSD Schema manually reloaded and reapplied in irAuthor. |
| CHANGE | 7662 | Template “Is Empty” has been renamed to “Is Null” | • The rename was done to avoid confusion with the template “Is Null or Empty.” |
| CHANGE | 7856 | When assigning a value from a value list within a Business Language rule, the list of values are displayed in an inline drop-down list that can be filtered. | • In a Business Language rule, when assigning a value from a value list to a field, the value list will appear in the same syntax drop-down control. • Previously, a modal dialog would appear with the value list. |
| CHANGE | 7928 | RuleSession: Direct support for async and MQ removed | • Support for an MQ listener (MessageQueueConnection) has been removed. Future support for MQ is planned via the WCF infrastructure. |
| CHANGE | 8014 | 2.X irInteract removed | • The 2.X form of irInteract has been removed. Existing 2.X irInteract apps must continue to be run with InRule 2.9. |
| CHANGE | 8025 | Authoring @ attributes replaced with functions | • All @ attributes referenced in syntax rules, such as @EntityId, are now instead functions (example: coll@Count is now Count(coll). Use the syntax rule intellisense / expression editor or see the help file Function Reference for a list of these. • Existing 2.X ruleapps having @ attribute expressions will automatically be upgraded to use functions in 3.X. • The 2.3 ‘!’ syntax is also upgraded to functions • Apps which directly store rule expressions via irSDK having ‘@’ or ‘!’ syntax will fail – these must be modified to use the appropriate Get* function. |
| CHANGE | 8026 | GetCount function named back to Count | • Count had temporarily been renamed GetCount in 3.0.0.9650, it has now been changed back to Count. |
| CHANGE | 8029 | Assembly consolidation | • The InRule.Runtime.InProcess assembly no longer exists. All of the functionally of this assembly is now included in the InRule.Runtime assembly. |
| CHANGE | 8030 | RuleServiceConnection.Settings is deprecated in favor of Settings.RuleApplicationDefInfoSettings, RuleExecutionSettings is moved to Settings | • These settings, which dictate the level of detail returned in RuleApplicationDefInfo.RuleApplicationDef (and the deprecated RuleApplicationInfo), are now at RuleSession.Settings.RuleApplicationDefInfoSettings |
| CHANGE | 8306 | RuleApp names must now conform to the same naming restrictions as other elements. | • An upgrader will automatically convert (on load) any offending names |
| CHANGE | 8348 | Xml State: Custom Date / DateTime formatting in local culture format is no longer supported | • Local format date is recognized on XML load (but only if XSD validation disabled), but culture-invariant format (YYYY-MM-DD, YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss) is always output |
| CHANGE | 8508 | Implicit casting is now optional | • A global rule application check box has been introduced called “Allow Implicit Casting.” This setting is checked by default, maintaining the current behavior. When this setting is unchecked, the following will occur: - An error will occur during rules execution if values are compared for equality/inequality and one or more values is/are NULL. - An error will occur during rules execution if mathematical operations are applied to NULL values. • Note that string concatenation operations will work with either setting when the value is null. |
| CHANGE | 8549 | Cross-schema Entity Field references must be Temporary | • All cross-schema entity field references from an Internal Schema Entity context to an external schema context must now be Temporary, to be consistent with the existing behavior of external to external. |
| CHANGE | 8756 | RuleRepositoryConnection API is deprecated in favor of RuleCatalogConnection | • RuleRepositoryConnection still functions but will continue to be supported for only a limited time. |
| CHANGE | 9083 | RuleSession: RuleApplicationInfo deprecated in favor of RuleApplicationDefInfo | • The RuleApplicationInfo on RuleSession is deprecated in favor of RuleApplicationDefInfo |
| CHANGE | 9132 | Executing RuleSet by ElementIdentifier no longer supported | • RuleSession.ExecuteRuleSet(ElementIdentifier ruleSetPath) is no longer supported. In general, using the ElementIdentifier is discouraged. If you have existing code attempting to use an ElementIdentifier to execute a ruleset, the following may be used: |
| CHANGE | 9378 | Xml State: “Allow Non Schema Xml” setting changed to “Enable Internal Schema XSD Validation” | • This setting continues to allow schema-invalid XML to be loaded to an internal-schema entity as it did in 2.9. |
| CHANGE | 9518 | EntityRuleSet.Execute() is no longer supported as a means to execute an Entity RuleSet | • Instead use Entity.ExecuteRuleSet() |
| CHANGE | 9592 | Installer: Installing on Vista now requires Administrator level permission | • If the installing user is a member of the local Administrators group, they will get the UAC prompt asking to confirm elevation to Administrator permissions. |
| CHANGE | 9604 | irAuthor: Icon is used to indicate an element is checked out by another user. | • This acts as an indication to the user that an element cannot be checked out for modification. |
| CHANGE | 9617 | Eval network API general changes | • The InRule.Repository.EvalNetwork API has changed, including: |
| CHANGE | 9629 | Entity-level Notifications are upgraded to Notification Templates | • Any entity-level Notifications (appearing in the “Notifications” folder under an Entity) are upgraded to “Notification Templates” (appearing in the “Vocabulary” tab of the Entity in irAuthor). |
| CHANGE | 9749 | Count function may now be used only on a collection | • InRule 2.X allowed Count function to be used on an Entity Field • Count is now supported only on collections (Count(coll) or Count() in collection member context) • If Count(entityField) > 0 was being used to check for null, instead use IsNull(entityField) |
| CHANGE | 9866 | Xml State: Custom Boolean XML formatting as 1 / 0 is no longer supported | • 1 or 0 is recognized on XML load (but only if XSD validation disabled), but “true” / “false” is always output |
| CHANGE | 9923 | Eval network API change: Expression.ToXml() function should be used only for informational purposes, as the XML format is likely to change. | • The XML emitted by this function is likely to change in the future. |
| CHANGE | 9961 | Catalog UI controls API has changed | • The irSDK UI control API for login, open and save / save-as has changed to be compatible with RuleCatalogConnection (replacing the deprecated RuleRepositoryConnection). |
| CHANGE | 9978 | ODP.NET driver no longer supported for Catalog Service | • The Microsoft Oracle driver is always used. |

| FEATURE | 10484 | Attributes tab of Rule Application, Entity and Field property pages now features a magnifying glass icon which, when clicked, will display a new window that contains all attributes. | • This change allows a user to manage attributes within a window that can be made full screen. This helps with managing many Attributes. |
| FEATURE | 10734 | Microsoft Word integration with irWord | • A new InRule component called irWord is included in this release. irWord allows InRule users to use Microsoft Word to author RuleSets and Decision Tables. Because this authoring is done in Microsoft Word, the Rule Application can be richly documented. • irWord requires Microsoft Word 2007 and .NET Framework 3.5. |
| FEATURE | 10832 | All business language rules and decision tables of a rule set are shown in irWord. | • All business language rules and decision tables beyond the root of a rule set are shown in irWord. |

This is primarily intended to help establish the steps leading up to an error or warning condition. • Log settings may be found in the configuration section <inrule.authoring> of irAuthor.exe.config. The following is an example: <tracing logActivities="true" logFileCleanUpInterval="30.00:00:00" bufferLogWrites="false" bufferSize="20" />. • Logging may be disabled by changing the value of attribute “logActivities” to “false”, but leaving it enabled is recommended as there is negligible overhead, and this information can be critical in diagnosing and reproducing issues. • There is one logfile created per irAuthor instance, at %TEMP%\InRule\Trace\irAuthor-yyyymmddThhmmss.log |
| FEATURE | 11231 | irAuthor log file is attached to support email messages | • When an unhandled error occurs in irAuthor, the system will make an attempt to attach irAuthor’s log file should the user decide to send an automated email message to InRule support. |
| FEATURE | 11313 | A Rule Application can be permanently deleted from the Catalog. | • Any Rule Application stored in the Catalog can be permanently deleted, including all revisions of the Rule Application and any labels that are attached only to the same Rule Application. • Alternatively, the latest revision of a Rule Application can be permanently deleted. Again, any label that is attached only to the revision being deleted will also be permanently deleted. • The delete commands are available via irAuthor, Catalog Manager and irSDK. |
| FEATURE | 11325 | The context menu items “ViewXML,” “Load XML” and “Save XML” have been added to irVerify to populate entities with test data. | • The context menu items have been added to fields of data type Entity, and collection members of data type Entity. • The “File” menu items “Load XML” and “Save XML” are disabled for independent rule sets. |

The separate WSE 2.0 install is no longer required when deploying the Catalog Service | • The Catalog Service utilizes .NET 3.0 “WCF”. The separate WSE 2.0 install is no longer required when deploying the Catalog Service |
| FEATURE | 7872 | rSOA: Enhancements to InRule Rule Engine Service | • The Rule Engine Service may now be accessed without requiring InRule assemblies on client machines, making the service more accessible from other platforms including J2EE application servers and BPM tools. |
| FEATURE | 7875 | Business Language Rule Editing: Rule Templates enhancements | • Users now have the ability to specify the vocabulary and structure of the default business language templates included with the business language editor. This provides control over the rules and actions that are exposed to rule authors through the Template Availability interface. |
| FEATURE | 8246 | irSDK: GetXml now supports scenarios where there are duplicated instances in the RuleSessionState | • This applies only to XmlEntityState and XmlSerializable-ObjectEntityState |
| FEATURE | 8656 | Catalog Service: Element-level check out | • Individual elements including RuleSets, Data Elements EndPoints and Categories may be individually checked-out within a Ruleapp, allowing multiple users to work on different parts of a Ruleapp at the same time. |
| FEATURE | 8658 | Catalog Service: Element-level reuse | • Individual elements including RuleSets and Data Elements may optionally be set “shareable”, which allows them to be consumed by multiple Ruleapps. |
| FEATURE | 9626 | Variables of data type Entity can be initialized with a default value. | • Checking “Default Value” in irAuthor now works for both Entity and value typed variables. |

The Rule Language tab has an option called “Enable Vocabulary in Business Language.” • On the same Rule Language tab, another performance improvement can be made by choosing to load Language Rules in the background. Enabling the option is called “Load Business Language asynchronously” will take advantage of this improvement. This can also be activated via irSDK. Simply set BusinessLanguageEditor.InitializeInBackground. |
| ISSUE | 8869 | DataContractSerializer support added to object state serialization. | • DataContractSerializer support is added to address the issue of serializing object state for classes that are not binary or xml serializable, or where an alternative human-readable, more easily upgraded format is desired than binary. • A specific example of code which may be serialized only with the DataContractSerializer is SqlMetal: It generates classes that contain references to System.Data.Linq. Because Linq is not Serializable, object state cannot be serialized using either XML serialization or binary serialization. |
