As of now i dont think they use this field anywhere . as mentioned on PDN it is just for future use.

Hi John,
If you want to see where this property is being used then you can open the property pyRuleSetVersionEffectiveDate and check for its references which might give you some information.
Regards
Mahesh

In Pega version 6.1. I am able to restrict the rules execution by setting future date in effective date. Does it changed in pega 7?

Checked with our product specialists and came to know that till that time the ruleset is not considered if its even part of the application, so it will behave same in Pega 7 also.

When I give future date in pega 7.2.1, it picks rules from the ruleset. is it product bug?

Is your ruleset being checked-in and locked before you test this behavior? If so, then you can go ahead to raise the bug.
