Opening the Rule Execution Server console on the sample server

You can use a preconfigured Rule Execution Server console on the sample server.

Before you begin

You must install Rule Execution Server on your computer.

About this task

Decision Server includes a sample server that demonstrates Rule Execution Server, and runs tutorials and samples. To use the preconfigured Rule Execution Server console, you must start the sample server.

Restriction:

The sample server runs on WebSphere® Liberty. You can only install it on distributed platforms.

Procedure

To open the Rule Execution Server console:

  1. Start the sample server (see Starting and stopping the sample server).
  2. Start the Rule Execution Server console.
    • On Windows 11, click Start > All > IBM Operationa Decision Manager <version> > Rule Execution Server console.
    • On Windows 10, click Start > All Programs > <ODM> > Rule Execution Server console.
    • On all platforms (Windows, UNIX, and Mac):
      • Use the following URL:

        http://localhost:<PORT>/res

        The default port number is 9090. To find your port number, see Checking the server port number.

      • Run the dsopener command from the <InstallDir>/shared/bin directory. The format is .bat for Windows and .sh for Linux®.
      • In the Rule Designer Samples Console, click the Rule Execution Server console link in the Samples and Tutorials > Sample Server tab.

    The package_group placeholder refers to the package group that you specified when you installed the product. The default package group is Operational Decision Manager V9.6.0.

  3. Depending on your user role, log in by entering one of the following preconfigured user/password combinations:
    • Administrator: resAdmin/resAdmin
    • Monitor: resMonitor/resMonitor
    • Deployer: resDeployer/resDeployer
    Note:

    Single sign-on (SSO) authentication is activated for the sample server. With SSO, users can log in once and gain access to all applications without being prompted to log in again for each of them. If you use different sign-on credentials for the applications on the sample server, for example when doing certain samples and tutorials, you get an error message when you attempt to sign in to the second application.

    To avoid this issue, you must sign out of the first console and then sign in to the second console. Alternatively, you can sign in to all of the applications on the server by using the credentials that you entered at installation time.

What to do next

After you are logged in, you can access instructions on how to use the Rule Execution Server console by clicking Help in the banner.

To deploy and configure Rule Execution Server on another supported application server, you must install the downloadable package for that server (see Configuring).
