A polled rule must be currently associated with a defined monitoring plan for it to be a candidate for the Configuration Advisor's data analysis process.

All rules associated with a given OpenEdge resource are individually evaluated against the rule-specific data retrieved from the OpenEdge Management Trend Database for the period of time you define.

The Configuration Advisor evaluates individual rules in a rule set. Therefore, updating a rule with a recommended setting changes the value that a rule uses if the rule is part of a rule set. Because rule sets are shared among resources of a given resource type, this value change might adversely effect other resources using this rule set.
