ilog rule project reference and common variables

Question

I am trying to create a rule project that will be used by few other rule projects. The WODM document only mentions that it makes the application modular.

Rule project A references Rule Project B. B is new and has no rules written so far. My question is - - The rule parameters are common for A and B. When I provided reference, I got 'unambigous parameter' error. The error went off when I removed the parameters from B. Same is the case with local variables.

If this is how the setup needs to be done, how are these variables visible to B? If I add the reference to A, as expected, I get cyclic reference error. Can I change the preference to ignore this error? Is there any other way? Thanks

Answer 1

Since the Rule Project A references Rule Project B, can you have the rule parameters from A and have in B.

Also, it all depends on how you are planning/designing these rule projects to be used in the applications, like the dependencies, independent calls to the rule project A or B, etc.
