A Rules Test Harness has been built as part of the Rules Engine solution. This was initially built for Basis Technologies internal use to help our Development and QA team test the Rules Engine, however it is also an extremely useful mechanism for our customers to validate how a particular transport will behave within the ActiveControl workflow as a result of their Rules Engine configuration, or indeed to troubleshoot any unexpected behaviour resulting from their Rules Engine setup.
The Rules Harness is accessed via program /BTI/TE_RURE_TEST_HARNESS in the Domain Controller.
