PCSSA Exam - Question 62


The MyCoSelfService ruleset contains the following instances of the same rule. The only differences between the instances are the circumstance settings and ruleset version. All ruleset versions are in the ruleset list.

Assuming users can access all the ruleset versions, which ruleset version is chosen by rule resolution when .Country = Australia?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

When .Country = Australia, the ruleset version that will be chosen by rule resolution is the one with the specific circumstance .Country = Australia. In this case, version 01-01-02 explicitly lists this circumstance. Rule resolution gives priority to the most specific match, hence selecting version 01-01-02.

The main thing that you have to see is setting it to base rule. Setting a rule as the base rule, makes PRPC not to check any circumstances below it. If the rule wasn't base rule then the circumstances below it take precedence. But then, setting it to base rule changes everything, making the base rule to high precedence.
