About this task

You can download an archive of rulesets from the Operational Decision Manager Rule Execution Server (RES) and store it on a local file system. You can then configure an ODM Server policy to specify this locally-stored archive as the location for the ruleset to be used by the message flow rather than accessing a ruleset on the ODM server.

Procedure

Configure an ODM Server policy to specify a local archive by completing the following steps:

  1. Download an archive of the required rulesets from the Operational Decision Manager Rule Execution Server and store it on your local file system.
  2. Create and configure an ODM Server policy.
    For information about creating a policy, see Creating policies with the IBM App Connect Enterprise Toolkit.
  3. Set the Rule Execution Server URL property of the ODM Server policy to specify the location of the downloaded archive file.
    For example: 
    file:/Users/admin/ACE/rulesets/ruleApp_Sale_1.0.jar

    or

    file:///c:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\ruleApp_Sale_1.0.jar
  4. Save and deploy the policy.
    The message flow containing the ODMRules node functions in the same way as it would if the ODM Server policy was configured to connect to a Rule Execution Server, but it accesses the rulesets that are stored on the local file system instead of connecting to the Rule Execution server.
