Rule Validation To Prevent Duplicates

• An enable rule is considered a duplicate in the following cases:
◦ A global enable rule is a duplicate of another global enable rule if the two rules have the same source choice.
◦ A local enable rule is a duplicate of another local enable rule in the same option set if the two rules have the same source choice.
◦ A local enable rule is a duplicate of another global rule if the two rules have the same source choice and the same set of target choices.
• An include rule is considered a duplicate in the following cases:
◦ A global include rule is a duplicate of another global include rule if the two rules have the same source choice.
◦ A local include rule is a duplicate of another local include rule in the same option set if the two rules have the same source choice.
