NONE
This is the default. -
CHAINED
Changes to this variable need to trigger chain correction.In some use cases, such as Vehicle Routing, planning entities are chained. A chained variable recursively points to a problem fact, which is called the anchor. So either it points directly to the anchor (that problem fact) or it points to another planning entity which recursively points to the anchor. Chains always have exactly 1 anchor, thus they never loop and the tail is always open. Chains never split into a tree: an anchor or planning entity has at most 1 trailing planning entity.
When a chained planning entity changes position, then chain correction must happen:
- divert the chain link at the new position to go through the modified planning entity
- close the missing chain link at the old position
A <- B <- C <- D <- X <- Y
, when B moves between X and Y, pointing to X, then Y is also changed to point to B and C is also changed to point to A, giving the resultA <- C <- D <- X <- B <- Y
.PlanningVariable.nullable()
true is not compatible with this.
