Migrate classic rule projects to decision services

A decision service enables you to define complex decisions by bringing together several rule projects into one management entity. You can synchronize, branch, and manage changes in all the projects of a decision service, allowing consistent governance and deployment.

The decision service has replaced the classic rule project in developing and managing rules. Some of its improvements:

  • Easier deployment and synchronization in Rule Designer and the Business console
  • Simplified project navigation
  • Easier management of linked rule projects
  • Continuity in BOM content between classic rule projects and decision services
