Task 2: Deploying a RuleApp by using the REST API

You use the Build Command to create two RuleApps (see Automating builds with Build Command).

1. Open a command line window.
2. Navigate to <InstallDir>/executionserver/tutorials/resruleappmanagement.
3. Type ant buildRuleApps, and press Enter.

   This target uses the Build Command tool to create a RuleApp that is based on the decision service in the Rule Designer tutorial Creating a decision service with multiple projects. Then, the checkAmount action rule in the Loan Validation Check/rules/validation/loan folder is modified and another RuleApp is generated by using the Build Command.

   The two RuleApps are put in /resruleappmanagement/data/.

   Note: If the Ant task fails, see Setting up your environment to automate processes.

You deploy a RuleApp by using the REST API.

1. On the REST API tab, open the /ruleapps tab, and select POST - deployRuleAppArchive.
2. In Request Body, browse to /resruleappmanagement/data/test_deployment.jar.
3. Click Call method.
4. In the Response area, ensure that HTTP Status 200 is displayed.
5. On the Explorer tab, select the RuleApp test_deployment to display its two rulesets.
6. Select the ruleset loan_validation_with_score_and_grade and click Show managed URI to display the associated XOM.

After the RuleApp is deployed, you can download it to an archive.

1. On the Explorer tab, select the RuleApp test_deployment.
2. In the RuleApp view, click Download Archive. A compressed file of the RuleApp is downloaded to your computer.
3. Save the archive to the /resruleappmanagement/work directory.
