Deactivating and Reactivating Rules in a Rulebase

In a rulebase, you can disable and enable rules by using the deactivate and activate commands.

The deactivate command comments out the specified statement from the configuration. Rules that have been deactivated do not take effect when you issue the commit command.

The activate command adds the specified statement back to the configuration. Rules that have been activated take effect when you next issue the commit command.
