What's New in Rulex 4.0

New Rulex kernel

NEW

The new kernel includes the following:

• new database structure, improving performance levels, and import/export operation speed.

• new memory kernel, improving memory speed and memory requirements (from 6GB to 1GB for in-memory computation, making it more easier to run Rulex on a desktop).

• new simpler and faster Object-Oriented language (GOLD), which is easier to understand and interpret, and is better at detecting errors and exceptions.

This new kernel has made a great improvement in execution time and high volumes of data can be uploaded without suffering performance degradation.

Parallel process computation

NEW

In 3.2, processes were executed in a serial procession, while in 4.0 the process is run in parallel computation, which computes all tasks with the same priority level. Parallel execution greatly speeds up computation time, especially with highly complex processes . The maximum number of tasks concurrently executed can be configured in the Execution Parameters. 

Process-level management of alerts

CHANGE

Alerts are now managed centrally at process-level via the command bar Alert icon. Alerts now apply to the whole process, and are no longer associated to a single task, removing the need to create sentry tasks. This improves process maintainability, with cross-task and cross-category alerts being managed directly from the central point.

Process-level management of priorities

CHANGE

Priorities are also now managed at process-level, from where all priorities can be managed for individual and multiple tasks. Bulk changes can now be simultaneously made for the priority of multiple tasks.
