Creating decision services

A ruleset is a set of business rules that serve as an executable decision unit. You develop the contents of rulesets in decision services and rule projects, and call the rulesets from client applications.

You work in projects to define a data model for rules and a vocabulary for business users. You also author different types of business rules.

Your company's historical data contains information that can be used to improve your business decisions. By integrating Machine Learning predictive models into Operational Decision Manager, you can get the best of two worlds: predictive insights from historical data and prescriptive business decisions based on company policies.

You can execute business rules on different platforms, optimize their execution, and automate certain tasks.

To enable developers and business users to collaborate on projects, you publish decision services from Rule Designer to Decision Center.

To add a dependent project to a decision service, you must add it in Rule Designer and synchronize the decision service with Decision Center.
