Rule states

Rules can be in any one of the following states at any particular time:

scheduled
The rule is scheduled to become effective (its start date is in the future) and will not be found by current trigger points.
in effect
The rule is currently in effect and can be found by trigger points.
expired
The rule is no longer in effect (the end date is in the past) and will not be found by trigger points.
invalid
The rule is not correctly defined and will not be found by trigger points.

Typically, only those rules that are "in effect" are found by the Business Rule Beans (BRBeans) run-time environment. This behavior can be overridden by setting an asOfDate on the TriggerPoint object, which then will execute "as if" the current date is the given date. For more information, see "As Of Date".

When a Rule is first created, it is marked as "ready for use" and is found when firing Rules. If the Rule is not complete and you do not want it to be found by BRBeans, then use either of the following to mark the Rule:
