System, method and computer program product for rule-based performance of actions on related objects
First Claim
1. A computer program product, comprising a non-transitory computer usable medium having a computer readable program code embodied therein, the computer readable program code adapted to be executed to implement a method for rule-based performance of actions on related objects, the method comprising:
- identifying a first action performed in association with a first object;
evaluating at least one rule associated with the first object, based on the first action; and
conditionally performing at least one second action associated with at least one second object related to the first object, based on the evaluation of the at least one rule.

Abstract
In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for rule-based performance of actions on related objects. These mechanisms and methods for rule-based performance of actions on related objects can provide a generalized technique for configuring related object actions that are responsive to object updates. The ability to provide this generalized technique can enable actions to be automatically performed on objects in response to updates to related objects, in a rule-based manner.

20. An apparatus, comprising:
a processor for; identifying a first action performed in association with a first object; evaluating at least one rule associated with the first object, based on the first action; and conditionally performing at least one second action associated with at least one second object related to the first object, based on the evaluation of the at least one rule.

21. A method for transmitting code, comprising:
-
transmitting code to identify a first action performed in association with a first object; transmitting code to evaluate at least one rule associated with the first object, based on the first action; and transmitting code to conditionally perform at least one second action associated with at least one second object related to the first object, based on the evaluation of the at least one rule.
