Does minor skimming of rulesets helps in making rule resolution faster? If Yes then how ?
I have a question regarding rule resolution optimization. I'm currently facing a scenario with multiple versions of a rule. Specifically, I have Rule A in three different versions: Rule A created in RSV 01-01-01, Rule A updated in RSV 01-01-05, and Rule A in the skimmed RSV 01-02-01.
I'm curious to know if performing minor skimming, especially in version 01-02-01 here, contributes to faster rule resolution. If it does, could you please explain where in the process of ruleresolution?
As per rule resolution process,in step one itself .it list of all rules that match the purpose ,so in this scenario all these versions of the rule might get collected together, with the skimmed version being given preference in later part of rule resolution .I'm also wondering, if rules in all versions are taken into account, wouldn't that potentially introduce some overhead in the performance of rule resolution?
Furthermore, I'm in the process of considering ways to keep my rulebase efficient and streamlined. I'm pondering whether it would be advisable to remove the non-skimmed ruleset versions(in production environment). I'm interested in understanding if this action would have any positive impact on performance.Could anyone please shed light on the potential benefits of such an approach? If anyone has dealt with a similar situation before, I would greatly appreciate hearing about your experiences and insights.

Hi @Sourabh
I ran a search on minor skimming of rule sets and found the following. Does any of that help?

@MarissaRogersI have gone through the articles.It only says it improves rule resolution ,but doesnt explains how it improves .

@Sourabh Thanks for your reply.
Another search found:
Minor skimming of rulesets helps make rule resolution faster by consolidating the highest versions of rules into a new, higher minor version ruleset. This process filters out rules that are not available for rule resolution, simplifying the rule resolution process and reducing the number of rules the system needs to search through. As a result, rule resolution becomes more efficient and faster.

@Sourabh My understanding is that a "major" skimming should improve the overall rule resolution performance since it is only considering versions within the major version only. e.g. If you major skimmed to 02, then all minor versions in 01 will not be included during the rule resolution process. However, a minor skimming may not improve the rule resolution performance much, since it will still include all minor versions within the current major version.
