Downloadable toolkits

Toolkits provide reusable components that you can use in your applications as a low-code way to use various platform capabilities.

Decision Services toolkit

The Decision Services toolkit provides an action to execute a decision service that is deployed in IBM Operational Decision Manager (ODM), and an action configurator to select which decision to use.

The toolkit contains a single generic action, named Execute Decision Service, that starts a decision service. When you design your application, you execute a decision from the Execute Decision Service action, and use the Execute Decision Service Action Configurator to customize the action. The application developer can use the customized action to choose a specific decision service to run.

To use the toolkit, download it from a GitHub repository and import it into the Business applications page. For more information, see Download the Decision Services toolkit External link opens a new window or tab .

Workflow Services toolkit

The Workflow Services toolkit provides an action to start a process that is running in a workflow server.

The toolkit also supports an action to start a service flow from a workflow server. For more information about creating a service flow to call, see Creating a service flow.

Note: A service flow must be exposed to all authenticated users for it to be called.

The toolkit contains a single generic StartProcess action that you can use in an action configurator to start a specific process or service flow with the required inputs and outputs. For information on how StartProcess is used, see the Mortgage Approval sample External link opens a new window or tab .
