Rules (Inference agent classes only.) It can be convenient to organize rules into collections for use in different inference agent classes. Select rule collections and individual rules as needed to define what rules will execute on inference agents of such classes at runtime.
Input Destinations Different agents listen for messages arriving at different destinations. When you select a destination for use in a collection or an individual agent, you add deploytime configuration settings, to create a
destination configuration. For example, you define an event preprocessor and a threading model to use. Each destination configuration is assigned a unique ID.
Startup Functions and Shutdown Functions Select function collections and individual functions as needed, to define which functions execute at engine startup and shutdown respectively.
