Genesys Rules System 8.5 Product Alerts
Warning: Genesys Web Engagement (GWE) libraries that are included in GRAT still use versions of Jackson that contain a deserialization vulnerability discovered in Jackson 2.9.2 and this can cause problems when deploying rules to the GWE engine. So, only when GRAT is used in conjunction with GWE, customers should revert to GRAT version 8.5.303.14.
New in Release 8.5.0
8.5.001.21
Genesys Rules System

- A new role privilege—Business Rule - Edit Only—has been added that will allow a user to edit and save only the parameter values of a rule.
- A new configuration option—list-object-use-name—has been implemented in order to enable users to control whether either the name or the display name of a Configuration Server list object is encoded in the DROOLS rule file.
- You can now choose to either show or hide the ID and NAME columns in individual Decision Tables. Please refer to the GRAT Release Note for more information.
8.5.001.13
Genesys Rules System

One new configuration option controls the default URL of the Help content for customers who require locally hosted Help content. Another new configuration allows users to specify whether to revert to the previous version of localized embedded WebHelp where a current translated version is not available in the cloud. See:
- GRAT Configuration Options (Deployment Guide)
- Localization Support—Localization for Genesys Rules Authoring Tool is now available for the following languages starting at release 8.5.001.13:
- French
- German
- Portuguese (Brazilian)
- Spanish (Latin American)

- Removal of support for Internet Explorer 7.
Genesys Rules Authoring Tool
- Deployment Enhancements—More details are now available to the user when deploying to a cluster. These details show the deployment status and deployment times of each node in the cluster.
- Decision Table Enhancements—Users can now easily reorder the rows within a decision table. A new configuration option allows the administrator to set the order of evaluation (top to bottom or bottom to top).
- Repository Performance Enhancement for Oracle 11 users—For Oracle users, a performance enhancement is available that is enabled only when you create a new database repository when initially installing or migrating to 8.5.0.
- Single Sign-On—GRAT now participates in the Genesys Single Sign-On (SSO) framework where deployment takes place to a Genesys Engage cloud SSO environment. When GRAT is deployed into this environment, GRAT users will log in once to the portal. If they choose GRAT, they will bypass the GRAT login screen if they are still authenticated. Note that this feature does not apply for Genesys on-premise customers deploying GRS.
Genesys Rules Engine
- Operational Parameter Performance Enhancements—A new caching mechanism is in place to enable better performance when using operational parameters within rules. Three new configuration options control this functionality.

New in 8.5.301
Genesys Rules Authoring Tool
- Using GRAT Clusters for High Availability and Load Balancing—In release 8.5.301, you can now configure clusters of GRAT servers which deliver much greater resilience and availability, enabling instant "switchovers" between GRAT nodes that are members of the cluster.
- For High Availability, you can configure a cluster to use one GRAT server as primary and another as a secondary/backup hot standby server. A load balancer could be configured to send all traffic to the primary server. The hot standby instance would periodically poll the journal table and keep its cache/index files synchronized. In the event of a failure (or planned maintenance) of the primary GRAT server, the load balancer would switch and send traffic to the hot standby secondary/backup GRAT server.
- For Load Balancing, a load balancer could evenly distribute the load across the available GRAT nodes, or could distribute the load based on other criteria, such as geographic location of the browser.
- See New Features in the Deployment Guide.
Genesys Rules Development Tool
- This release ships with GRDT release 8.1.4.
New in 8.5.3

With Split Testing you can make, test and review changes incrementally to test their effects before committing to a particular change set. See New Features in the Deployment Guide for full information.
- Enhanced Rule Locking/Unlocking—Further enhancements are made in this release to record locking/unlocking, as follows:
- If a rule, calendar or test scenario are locked, a new mouseover tooltip over the ID column shows who has locked the rule.
- Users/administrators with the new OVERRIDE_LOCKS permission can unlock rules locked by other users.
- The unlock feature is also applied to Business Calendars as a new drop-down. The behavior is the same as for rules—a user can lock/unlock their own calendar, and users/administrators with OVERRIDE_LOCKS permission can override such locks.
Genesys Rules Engine
- A/B/C Split Testing as for GRAT.
- Platform support changes as for GRAT.
Genesys Rules Development Tool

New in Release 9.0.0
Genesys Rules Authoring Tool
- The Genesys Rules Development Tool (GRDT—latest release 8.1.4) has been merged with the Genesys Rules Authoring Tool (GRAT) to provide one platform for development of templates through to authoring of business rules and their publication to the Genesys Rules Engine or other specified engine. Please refer to the Genesys Rules Authoring Tool Help for more details.
- The user interface of the new GRAT has been upgraded to the current Genesys branding and style guidelines.
- Undo/re-do buttons have been added to the user interface to assist in editing rules, calendars and test scenarios.
- A "Disable Package Serialization" checkbox has been added to the General tab of rules packages in GRAT to enable package serialization to be disabled at the rule package level. See enable-package-serialization.
- GRAT has been upgraded to support latest browser releases for improved security and support.
- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) has been extended to the Template Development features added to the new GRAT.
- Support for the following operating environments:
- OpenJDK 1.8.
- Oracle 12c Release 2/Oracle 18c database.
- See the GRS page in the Genesys Supported Operating Environment Reference Guide for more detailed information.
- Support for all versions of Solaris operating system is discontinued.
Genesys Rules Engine
- Support for rule package serialization—In this release, rule packages can be serialized to greatly improve response times for loading and re-loading them into memory. With serialization enabled, GRE looks for a serialized version of the package and loads or re-loads it if one is found. There are several benefits:
- Faster GRE startup time
- Reduced initial memory usage of GRE on startup
- Reduced GRE memory usage over time
- Improved performance when unloading expired packages
- Improved performance when loading or reloading rule packages into memory
- A new configuration option in the [settings] section of GRE—enable-package-serialization—is used to enable/disable this feature. In general, users should take advantage or the performance improvements available with this feature, but iWD users are recommended to disable it.
- The feature can also be disabled at the rule package level when required: a "Disable Package Serialization" button has been added to the General tab of rules packages in GRAT.
- GRE now detects the minimum Java version needed for proper performance and memory management. For proper memory management and performance, Genesys recommends Java 1.8.0_131 or higher.
- Support for the following operating environments:
- OpenJDK 1.8.
- Oracle 12c Release 2/Oracle 18c database.
- See the GRS page in the Genesys Supported Operating Environment Reference Guide for more detailed information.
- Support for all versions of Solaris operating system is discontinued.

Genesys Rules System
Genesys Rules System (GRS) provides the ability to develop, author, and evaluate business rules. A business rule is a piece of logic defined by a business analyst. These rules are evaluated in a Rules Engine based upon requests received from client applications such as intelligent Workload Distribution, Genesys Web Engagement and Genesys Conversation Manager.
GRS consists of two software components from release 9.0:
- Genesys Rules Authoring Tool (GRAT)
- Genesys Rules Engine (GRE)
and three software components in releases before release 9.0:
- Genesys Rules Development Tool (GRDT)
Genesys Rules Development Tool 8.1 entered End of Life (EOL) on April 22, 2024. It enters End of Maintenance (EOM) and End of Support (EOS) on on April 30, 2025. If you have questions, contact your account representative.
