Before you create a rule set file, you should ensure that your
preferences for the Active Correlation Technology are set correctly in the
Eclipse Workbench. This topic describes how to set these preferences.
First, open the Eclipse Workbench, if it is not already open.
To set your preferences for the Active Correlation Technology, take
the following steps:
- In the Workbench, click .
- Click Active Correlation Technology, and
on the Active Correlation Technology page, specify whether you want to add "act" as
the prefix for newly created rules and rule blocks in the rule builder. By default, "act" is not added as the prefix.
- Expand Active Correlation Technology. Depending on your application, the following additional items might
be shown. Click these items to set the associated preferences.

Associated preference |
Common Base Event Definition Provider |
You
can specify the XML files that provide the structure for one or more event
types (including the names and types of attributes that a given event type
can contain) that conform to the Common Base Event specification. These event
types and attributes are then available when you create rules. |
Compiler |
You can specify the following
primary items:- Whether compiled rule sets should be saved
- The file type for compiled rule sets
- The class path for code that is to be used at compile time
By default, compiled rule sets are saved and shown in the Navigator view
with a file type of acts, which indicates that the compiler
output is a serialized rule set. |
