Before you start

Prepare for the tutorial by reading its description, and checking the audience and prerequisites.
In this tutorial, you create a simulation to review the output of a decision service when you run the service on representative business data.

You work on Miniloan Service, a decision service that a fictitious loan company uses to determine whether borrowers are eligible for loans. When you run the decision service, it produces measurable information such as the amounts, durations, and credit scores of loans. You create a simulation that gathers this information as key performance indicators (KPIs), and displays the KPIs in a report.

Learning objectives

You do the following tasks:

  • Create metrics and KPIs.
  • Create and upload a scenario data file.
  • Create a template for a report format.
  • Create and run a simulation configuration.

The tutorial does not cover collaborative development in the decision governance framework. You work in an ungoverned branch of the decision service, and not in a release.

Time required

This tutorial should take approximately 40 minutes to finish. If you explore other concepts related to this tutorial, it could take longer to complete.

Audience

The tutorial introduces you to the simulation feature in the Decision Center Business console. It is for Business console users who want to run simulations in decision services.

Prerequisites

You work on a branch that you create in the decision service that is provided in the Miniloan Service sample project. You must have Rule Designer installed on your computer to publish the decision service to Decision Center.

To publish the decision service and create your branch for the tutorial, see Preparing and removing the tutorial project.

Important:

The sample project is in English.
