SYMPTOMS
When you modify a rule in a decision shape, the same rule in a different shape may also be modified without notification of the change. This can have adverse affects on your Orchestration Drawing.



CAUSE
You cannot modify reused rules individually.



WORKAROUND
If you require different rules, then you must create unique rules. You cannot use existing rules.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in BizTalk Server 2000.



MORE INFORMATION
When you add a rule to a decision shape in the BizTalk Orchestration Designer and you already have rules that were created previously, you are prompted to either create a new rule or use an existing rule. When you choose to use an existing rule, it must match the original rule. If you change the existing rule, then the original rule is also changed.
