Creating a decision service

Create a decision service, which contains a collection of business rules, by using the New Decision Service wizard.

About this task

A decision service contains a set of business rules and parameters. Create a decision service in the IBM® Integration Toolkit by using the New Decision Service wizard.

You can also create a decision service by importing a rule application archive from IBM Operational Decision Manager. For more information, see Accessing rules that are created in IBM Operational Decision Manager.

The following steps describe how to create a decision service in the IBM Integration Toolkit.

Procedure

  1. To open the New Decision Service wizard, use one of these methods:
    • Click File > New > Decision Service.
    • Right-click an application, library, or integration project, then click New > Decision Service.
    • In the Application Development view, click New, then click Decision Service.
  2. On the Create a new decision service pane, select an existing container or create a new one.

    You can create a decision service in an application, library, or integration project. You can also name the decision service on this pane. The name cannot contain spaces. Click Next.

  3. Ensure that the required schema files are available to the decision service.

    Required schema files must be in the scope of the decision service. Therefore, if you create a decision service in an application, ensure that the required schema files are available in that application or in an associated library. You can use XMLNSC or DFDL schemas.

  4. Select the schema parameters that are needed to write your business rules, then click Finish.

    A decision service file (.rules) is created in the Application Development view, in a Decision Services folder under the application, library, or integration project. The decision service file opens in the Decision Service editor.

  5. Save the decision service.

What to do next

Configure parameters and write rules by following the instructions in Writing rules.
