When a base rule is higher than a blocked rule, what is the expected behavior?

The expected behavior when a base rule is higher than a blocked rule is that only the highest ruleset version of the base rule is used. In Pega, rules are governed by a set of priority levels and ruleset versions. If a base rule exists at a higher ruleset version, it takes precedence over any lower versions, including those that may be marked as blocked. Therefore, in scenarios where a rule has been identified as blocked, the engine will ignore those blocked rules and instead utilize the base rule if it is of a higher version.

This concept is crucial for maintaining the integrity and behavior of applications in Pega, ensuring that the most current and relevant rules are always implemented during execution. The system is designed to optimize rule resolution by selecting only the highest applicable version for execution, thereby enhancing performance and reliability in complex applications.

Other options do not accurately reflect how Pega manages rule execution priorities. For instance, the notion that blocked rules are executed or that all rules are ignored does not align with the Pega ruleset resolution principles. Additionally, executing available rules based on user input does not apply in this context when a base rule is present.
