    • onAgenda

      default void onAgenda​(int sequenceId, List<RuntimeRule> agenda)

      This method is called once for each memory change and before any rule activations. A unique sequence id is supplied as an argument so that developers could distinguish the initial fire and subsequent changes in the working memory caused by RHS calls.

      Parameters:
      sequenceId - memory task counter starting at zero (initial session fire)
      agenda - rules that are activated by current changes in the working memory.
