Kickoff Rule Syntax
EXAMPLE
The following rule sends all webs to station 5.
RuleLocationtype = web5
The following rule sends all members longer than 1 m to station 2.
RuleLocationlength > 10002
The following logical operators are supported:
| = (or ==) | equal |
| != | not equal |
| < | less than |
| <= | less than or equal to |
| > | greater than |
| >= | greater than or equal to |
A rule may have multiple conditions. All conditions must be met for the rule to apply. Conditions are separated by an ampersand (&).
EXAMPLE
The following rule sends all webs longer than 1 m to station 7.
RuleLocationtype = web & length > 10007
A rule with no condition is always true (i.e. any member is sent to the specified location).
EXAMPLE
The following rule sends any member to station 3.
RuleLocation 3
If multiple rules are specified, the first rule to have its conditions met is applied (starting from the top of the list and moving down).
