Configuring for Operational Decision Manager

You must configure Decision Runtime for z/OS before you can send requests to the rule engine from your applications.

To set up a Decision Server execution environment, you must customize the datasets, z/OS® configuration variables, and z/OS jobs provided, and then use them to configure new environments.

Decision Server supports the following execution environments:

• zRule Execution Server group with a shared console
• One or many CICS® rule-owning regions
• CICS rule-owning and application-owning regions
• Embedding an execution server with your batch execution
• Operational Decision Manager on the Liberty server

The configuration process consists of initial steps that are common to all execution environments, followed by steps that are specific to your environment.
