AST provides a standard set of rules to use for the PKS Experion system that will validate policy for best practices and misuse of Honeywell Cxxx configuration.
To use these rules in the PolicyCop tool you need to specify where these rule files exist. Click the Browse Folder button located near the top of the PolicyCop View to specify the path where the rule files reside. When you change this file path, the rule files displayed in the Rule Sets list will be updated in the PolicyCop validation view. Any changes to the file contents in this folder path will automatically be detected and the existing Rule Files list will be automatically refreshed.
A Rule file contains a single Rule Set where a Rule Set defines a set of rule definitions. You will typically develop a Rule Set and its definitions to contain a specific validation requirement for a configuration object such as a Function Block type. There is no limit to the number of rule definitions contained in a Rule Set other than maintainability. You might organize Rule Sets based on whether they are general in nature or more specific that may not require periodic execution on a policy validation task. Rule definitions are executed beginning at their highest numerical priority level.
Creating/Modifying Rule Files
You can create new rules or edit existing rules by clicking the button located in the PolicyCop Validation View. Any changes to existing Rule files or the creation of new Rule files will automatically be reflected in the Rule Sets list in the PolicyCop Validation view.
AST is available to assist you in customizing existing Rule Sets or creating new for a service fee.
