Step 3: Deploying the testing and simulation archive

You deploy the testing and simulations archives to enable testing and simulation from the Decision Center consoles.

About this task

Before deploying the testing and simulation archives, make sure that the database is already created (see Mandatory: Create the databases).

The DecisionRunner.war archive is used to run tests and simulations in the Business console.

Note: The testing and simulation WARs must be installed on the same server and port as the Rule Execution Server console. If the Rule Execution Server console is not deployed on the same server and port, set the RES_URL init parameter on the Decision Runner web application (DecisionRunner.war) to the Rule Execution Server console that uses the Decision Runner.

Procedure

To deploy DecisionRunner.war:

Copy <InstallDir>/executionserver/applicationservers/WLP/DecisionRunner.war to <WLP_HOME>/usr/servers/<SERVER_NAME>/apps.

In <WLP_HOME>/usr/servers/<SERVER_NAME>/server.xml:

Add to the <featureManager> section:
```
<feature>concurrent-1.0</feature>
```
Create a managed executor service:
```

<managedExecutorService jndiName="concurrent/drExecutorService"/> 
```
Note:
You can change the value of jndiName. If you do, you must change the value of the context parameter EXECUTOR_SERVICE and the name of the corresponding resource environment reference that is associated with the web.xml of the Decision Runner WAR.

Declare the context for DecisionRunner.war:

<!-- Decision Runner -->
<application type="war" id="DecisionRunner" name="DecisionRunner" location="${server.config.dir}/apps/DecisionRunner.war">
  <application-bnd>
    <security-role name="resAdministrators">
 	     <group name="resAdministrators" />
    </security-role>
    <security-role name="resDeployers">
      <group name="resDeployers" />
    </security-role>
  </application-bnd>
</application>

Save the file.

To verify that you have correctly deployed the testing & simulation applications, start the Liberty server and use the following URL to sign in as a user with resAdministrators or resDeployers rights:
http://<host>:<port>/DecisionRunner
