Configuring the Decision Intelligence Client Managed Software mode

To configure this topology, you use control statements to create the datasets that are required for running zRule Execution Server for z/OS in the mode for Decision Intelligence projects.

Before you start zRule Execution Server for z/OS in ADS mode, you must create the working datasets required for it:
  1. Edit ++HBRHLQ++.SHBRPARM(HBRCTRL), and add a control statement similar to the following one: 
    CREATE ADSZRES HBRSSID=ADS1
HBRWORKDS=RULES.WORK.ADS1
  2. Edit ++HBRHLQ++.SHBRPARM(HBRINST), and provide a value for ++HBRADSFILELOCATION++. Your decision service archives are stored at this location.
  3. Submit ++HBRHLQ++.SHBRJCL(HBRUUPTI) to create the working datasets.
  4. Copy the working dataset's Started task JCL to the PROCLIB of your system, for example, RULES.WORK.ADS1.SHBRPROC(HBRXMSTR).

The command creates an HBRMSTR dataset member that contains the parameter HBRMODE=ADS. When the new zRule Execution Server for z/OS instance starts and references the HBRMSTR dataset member, it starts in the ADS mode and serves Decision Intelligence requests.

Tip: A zRule Execution Server for z/OS instance can be started for Decision Intelligence requests and another for Operational Decision Manager requests. The HBRSSID list of client application references can contain one or both of these servers, depending the types of decisions.
