Deploying RuleApps and XOMs

To execute rules on IBM® Decision Server for z/OS®, you must deploy business rules that have the necessary Java™ classes to the persistence layer. If you deploy them to a shared persistence layer, zRule Execution Server for z/OS and Rule Execution Server on WebSphere® Application Server for z/OS instances can execute the same rules.

Procedure

Deploy the following artifacts:
  • RuleApps that contain the business rules within rulesets.
  • A JAR resource or library that contains Java classes that are used by the rules.

What to do next

The workflow to deploy your business rules is the same for zRule Execution Server for z/OS and Rule Execution Server. After you deploy the artifacts, use the IBM Decision Server for z/OS APIs to connect to the server from your COBOL or PL/I application and execute the rulesets.
