Integration with Decision Manager Open Edition
Decision Manager Open Edition, formerly available as Red Hat® Decision Manager, is now part of the IBM® Business Automation portfolio. zRule Execution Server for z/OS supports requests from Decision Manager Open Edition.
The integration comes with the following features:
- Tooling that enhances a Decision Manager Open Edition knowledge artifact, or KJAR, to allow it to send and receive COBOL data structures.
- A new mode for zRule Execution Server for z/OS that allows the server to handle the Decision Manager Open Edition requests.
- A new COBOL API that can call the rule engine.

Setup and usage
The following activities cover the setup and usage of Decision Manager Open Edition in Decision Runtime for z/OS.
| Activity | Description | Information |
|---|---|---|
| Configuring | Calls to Decision Manager Open Edition on z/OS® are made in memory instead of through REST API calls. This enables the calls to meet the expectations of a z/OS programmer, which are unlikely to be met by a call off platform or a REST API call to an application server running on z/OS. | Configuring the Decision Manager Open Edition runtime |
| Developing | You develop a knowledge artifact, or KJAR, in Decision Manager Open Edition. Before you can use the KJAR in a zRule Execution Server for z/OS runtime, you must enable it for COBOL. | Using Decision Manager Open Edition projects |
