Manual:Verbot Editor Merge KnowledgeBase

From VerbotWiki

Come together right now... over me. To merge to KnowledgeBases together, click the "Merge KnowledgeBase" link. The Merge KnowledgeBase dialog box.

When the dialog box first opens your current loaded KnowledgeBase is displayed. You may click any Rule in the "KnowledgeBase Rules" field to display its details in the "Rule Details" field.

To merge another KnowledgeBase with the currently displayed KnowledgeBase click the "Merge KnowledgeBase" button.

Select the KnowledgeBase you wish to merge with the currently displayed KnowledgeBase and click "Open"

Once you click "Open" the KnowledgeBase merge process will begin. It may take several minutes to process depending on the size of the KnowledgeBases.

As the KnowledgeBases are processed Information will be printed to the "Information" field. While the KnowledgeBase is being processed the "Ok" button will be grayed out. However, you can cancel the process anytime by clicking the "Cancel" button.

When the process is complete you can look over the changes or click the "Ok" button to except changes. You may also click "Cancel" to cancel all changes.

Look at all the pretty colors. As the KnowledgeBase loads information about the process is color coded and printed in the Information field. When the process is complete, Rules that have been changed in some form are also color coded.

Each color means something different. Here is a brief overview of what the color coding means:

Green = The Rule that an Input existed in the original KnowledgeBase and the loaded KnowledgeBase. Blue = The Rule did not exist in the original KnowledgeBase and was added from the loaded KnowledgeBase. Red = Red text only appears in the Information box. Red text items are a result of duplicate Rule IDs being identified. All duplicate Rule IDs are regenerated automatically to avoid problems and require no manual manipulation.
