Configuring deployment in Rule Designer

In Rule Designer, you configure the deployment of decision services.

The rule developer uses Rule Designer to do the following deployment-related tasks:

  • Set up deployment configurations that define the decision operations and target servers for deployment.
  • Run a decision service locally by using a run configuration, and deploy to the development environment to verify the deployment process.
  • Publish the decision service so that the deployment configurations and the XOM are available in Decision Center.

Deployment artifacts

In Rule Designer, each rule project in a decision service has a deployment folder to store the deployment configurations and decision operations created by the rule developer. Typically, the deployment configurations are kept in the main project of the decision service.

See Deployment configurations for information about the different aspects of deployment configurations. Also, consider the following points for the cloud portal:

  • Execution servers exist in the development, testing, and production environments. Create a deployment configuration for each environment.
  • The configuration type is Production for the production server, and Nonproduction for the development and testing environments.
  • You can deploy to all three environments from Rule Designer, unless otherwise restricted.
