Creating decision services

You can create one or several decision services in a project. Decision services are where you create and verify your decisions.

Before you begin

You need to have a project where you create your decision service. For more information about projects, see Configuring projects.

Procedure

  1. Open the Business automations page from Business Automation Studio. Select the project name in the Decision automations section, and click Open.

    Check the tabs on the Projects page in Decision Designer:

    Table 1. Tabs on the Projects page
    Tab What you can do
    Decision services

    Displays the list of decision services.

    • Create or delete decision services.
    • Rename the decision service or edit the description.
    • Import decision services
    • Import samples
    Load changes

    You see an icon with a blue dot load changes with a blue dot when there are incoming changes that you need to load for the project.

    • Check whether your collaborators made changes in the project and shared them.
    • Retrieve the changes that have been shared by your collaborators. If there is any conflict between your changes and your collaborators' changes on the same decision artifact, you can resolve it here.
    Share changes
    • View the decision artifacts that you haven't shared yet.
    • Share decision services or decision artifacts that you created, updated, or deleted with your collaborators.
    • Revert some or all of your changed decision artifacts that are not shared to a previous state by undoing the changes you made.
    View history
    • View the changes that are shared with your collaborators.
    • Revert to a version that was shared in the past.
    • Create a version of your project. The version that you created can be later used to build and deploy a decision service.
    Deploy
    • Build and deploy decision services.

    Deployed decision services are available to be published as automation services. They are also ready to be used by the decision runtime for executing decisions.
  2. In the Decision services tab, click Create to create a decision service. Enter a name and description for the decision service, and select a language. Click Create.
