IBM Operational Decision Manager parameters

Configuration parameters are used to install ODM for production on Kubernetes. The installation is done from the Helm or kubectl command line in 19.0.2 and with operators in 19.0.3.

ODM for production parameters

Table 1. Mandatory configuration parameters
Parameters Description Default values
 For 19.0.2  name The name of the instance of the chart. The name is used as a prefix in all services and deployments that are created by the chart. A deterministic naming scheme is best, as it helps to look up a service name. empty
 For 19.0.2  namespace The namespace to install the release into. Namespaces are a logical partitioning capability that enables one Kubernetes cluster to be used by multiple users without undesired interaction. Defaults to the current kube config namespace.
Table 2. Optional configuration parameters
Parameters Description Default values
customization.baiEmitterSecretRef Enables ODM to emit events to a Kafka server used by IBM Business Automation Insights. Create a Kubernetes secret, and then enter this secret in the customization.baiEmitterSecretRef parameter field. empty
customization.authSecretRef Customizes user authentication and management by overriding the default basic registry or by using an LDAP connection. You must create a Kubernetes secret and enter the name of the secret in this field. empty
customization.securitySecretRef Replaces the default certificate. You must create a Kubernetes secret and enter the name of the secret in this field. empty
