Using an external library in a decision service

You create a dependency between the decision service and the external library to be able to access the vocabulary defined in the library in your decision service.

Before you begin

Before you can create a dependency between a decision service and a library, you need to create a data model in the decision service where you plan to use the external library.

Procedure

  1. From your decision service, click the Data and libraries tab.
  2. Click Add library.
    The list of external libraries available in this project is displayed. For an external library to be available, it must be in the same locale as the decision service you are working in. If the external library you want to use is not in the list, see Importing an external library into Decision Designer.
  3. Select the external library that you want to use and click OK.

What to do next

You can now use the custom functions and data types defined in the external library in your data model and decision models. You can access the list of custom functions and data types at any time by opening the external library from your decision service.
