Rand,

Specificity strategy says that rule engine chooses to fire the rule with more matching patterns. Without looking into individual slots of your facts, Rule 1 has 5 matches (5 facts), and rule 2 has 4, so rule 1 has more specific set or requirements and is fired before rule 2 is fired.

I hope helps.

I have two rule instances on the agenda with the following bindings (I
only include their numbers because I believe that is all that is important
- maybe that is my problem):

Rule1: f-24, f-61, f-23, f-1, f-42
Rule2: f-24, f-61, f-23, f-43

I am old OPS5 hacker and cannot for the life of me understand why the
conflict resolution strategy should choose rule 1 over rule 2.  Is there
some issue of specificity?  If there is, I sure don't see it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Rand
