Applying an interchange file

You can work with a decision service that is transferred in an interchange file.

After you define a decision service in another application, you can put its specification in a JSON interchange file. Then, you use a REST API to apply the specification and create the corresponding decision service in Decision Center, where you develop it further in the Business console.

Note: For more information about using interchange files with Decision Center, see Using AI-generated decision services and Decision Automation Interchange Format External link opens a new window or tab.
You use the REST API v1/asset/apply. You must provide the following parameters:
  • datasource: The JNDI name of the Decision Center data source. If not specified, it defaults to jdbc/ilogDataSource.
  • projectSpecFile: The JSON file that holds the converted interchange file.
To apply the file:
  1. Open your Decision Center REST API Swagger interface.
  2. Expand the Interchange section.
  3. Expand /v1/asset/apply.
  4. Leave datasource as the JNDI name.
  5. In projectSpecFile, browse to the JSON file for your interchange file.
  6. Click Execute to apply the file.
After you finish the steps, the decision service is in the Library of your Business console.
