Normal Conversion

During normal processing, rule object converters are invoked by CER whenever CER is instructed to perform a search against rule objects.

CER looks up the appropriate rule object converter based on the rule class being searched, and invokes the rule object converter to gather the appropriate data from the application database and populate CER rule objects in memory, which can then be used in further CER calculations.

In particular, during normal processing, these converters access the active evidence records on the application database:

• Active Succession Set Rule Objects; and
• Active Evidence Row Rule Objects.

The retrieval of active evidence records is used when the Engine requests CER to calculate one of the following types of determination:

• an assessment determination (see Assessment Determinations);
• a snapshot determination (see Snapshot Determinations);
• a manual check determination where the user has chosen the option to include active evidence only (see Manual Check Determinations);

In contrast, the evidence converters also support a special data access mode to provide a calculation based off in-edit evidence data (see Temporary Access to In-Edit Evidence Changes).
